What should I do first this week?
Confirm with the City of Tulsa or your water provider whether they require an approved tester and annual test filing. Ask for their accepted-tester list before you hire anyone. Then check which assembly you have, such as an RPZ, PVB, or DCVA, so you can tell the tester what to expect.
What should I check when hiring a tester?
Ask for proof of current ASSE 5110 tester certification and a valid CIB plumbing license. Ask for proof of licence and insurance and confirm the tester has experience with your device type. Make sure the quote covers the inspection, the required pressure tests, and filing results with the water authority.
How do I coordinate with the office?
Tell the front desk or security team that a contractor is coming, and give them the visit window. Ask the pro whether the visit can be scheduled during your business hours. Many Tulsa providers advertise same-day availability when you need a fast appointment.
What compliance standards apply?
Tulsa commercial testing follows Oklahoma DEQ cross-connection rules and City of Tulsa requirements. Oklahoma has no statewide tester license, so each city approves its own testers. Repairs should be done by an ASSE 5130 certified repairer.
