the Inspector shall ascertain that the connection meets the

to have all reduced pressure zone and double check valve-type
backflow preventers tested annually. All testing must be done by
individuals who are accredited by the Minnesota Department of
Health. A tag shall be affixed to each backflow preventer
showing the date and the name of the tester along with his/her
accreditation number. In addition to the required tag, a copy of
the test results shall be submitted to the Building Inspection
