Definition
The AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) is the entity responsible for approving ERRCS installations and verifying ongoing compliance. For most buildings, the AHJ is the local fire marshal or fire department. The AHJ reviews system designs, conducts or witnesses testing, and issues approvals needed for certificate of occupancy. Different AHJs may have varying requirements, making it essential to understand your specific jurisdiction's expectations.
How It Relates to ERRCS Compliance
The AHJ determines what proof of compliance is acceptable, which thresholds apply locally, and whether a building can move forward to occupancy or remain in good standing after annual recertification.
