Who can perform the installation inspection?

The correct choice is the designated representative or authorized agent, as they possess the necessary qualifications and permissions to perform installation inspections within the context of Arkansas regulations. In many jurisdictions, a designated representative often has been trained and authorized to oversee compliance with health and safety standards related to installations, especially in industries like plumbing, HVAC, or other installations requiring safety inspections.

The role of a designated representative or authorized agent includes ensuring that all installation processes meet applicable codes and standards to protect public health and safety. They can perform these inspections because of their knowledge and understanding of the specific regulations applicable to the installations they oversee. This is particularly important in contexts where inspection might involve complex systems that require a detailed understanding of both technical and regulatory aspects.

While licensed plumbers are essential for carrying out the physical work of installation, they are not necessarily authorized to perform inspections unless they also hold designations as a representative or agent for inspection purposes. Similarly, health department officials or certified technicians may not have the specific training or authority to conduct installation inspections unless they also fall under the umbrella of a designated representative.
