This permit does not apply to private homes. It must be renewed each year and mandates that all backflow prevention devices governed by the permit undergo quarterly testing and an internal inspection once every year.
According to the Uniform Construction Code, Section NJAC 5:23-2.23(I), a Certificate of Compliance is required, which expires annually at the end of the calendar year.
