Professional Information

The FDNY A-35 Certificate of Fitness is required to operate and maintain an air compressor that compresses air or another nonflammable gas above 100 psi when the compressor needs an FDNY permit: indoors, or outdoors at a fair or festival. Outdoor compressors at other locations need no FDNY permit.
