Geraldine, If I'm not mistaken isn't your email address the Savannah River Site and didn't you all just come out with some new guidelines for yourself? What does your AHJ say? And finally at least something to hang your hat on: Look in NFPA 25-1.3 & 1.3A-2007 ed. which allows alternatives. If you have the handbook better yet because it has a little more to say regarding leeway. Basically if your AHJ agrees that a few days off for monthlies or a week or two on annuals is OK as long as you regain that time so that a May inspection one year may be deferred until June the next but then occur in May the again the following year then that would be in keeping with intent. What you need to be cognizant of is not doing May this year, June the next and then July the next, thereby meeting the month (if given a month) leeway to the letter but missing the spirit and intent. This is akin to setting up a 13 month schedule. Such manipulation of largesse is why we end up with AHJs reading things of so literally.
