Yes, plumbers working on fire suppression systems need to follow NFPA 25 as well as any other applicable NFPA and local standards (e.g., NFPA 13 for sprinkler systems, NFPA 14 for standpipes, NFPA 54 Fuel Gas Code, etc).

Specialized plumbers also deal with specific standards for hazardous materials piping, according to the types of materials and the types of facilities in which they're found.

Is it mandatory to enforce NFPA 13 for insurance?

NFPA 13 only applies to specific types of occupancies and the requirements for enforcement would depend upon the "authority having jurisdiction", local ordinances, and state fire codes. Compliance with such codes is frequently a pre-requisite for obtaining insurance. On the other hand, other facilities may have different requirements (e.g., NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R), or the code may modify the NFPA 13 or NFPA 25 requirements (e.g., NFPA 101 chapter 33 modifications for NFPA 13R in "existing residential board and care facilities"). Your local fire marshal and insurance company will help you with specific requirements.


Which NFPA regulation tells of the need for FDC signage?

NFPA 25 Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems contains requirements for FDC signage (e.g. 4.8 and 13.7.1), for all water-based systems. Each individual standard for the specific type of system (sprinkler, standpipe, etc), there are specifications for signage. For example, NFPA 13: 8.17.2.4.7 "Signs" specifies the signs required for an FDC servicing a sprinkler riser, including height of lettering and required legends.

What is NFPA standard for fire hose cabinet?

It depends upon whether you mean the standard that requires or allows a fire hose cabinet to be present (and their locations), or the requirements for installations, or for the manufacture of a fire hose cabinet, or the requirements for occupant training if there are fire hose cabinets. Regarding fire hose cabinet placement and training: that would be covered by the locally adopted fire code, such as NFPA 1 and NFPA 101® LIfe Safety Code®, under the "fire protection systems" required for a particular facility. The requirements for the mechanism, configuration and installation would be covered in the cross-referenced NFPA 14, "Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems" and maintenance would be covered in NFPA 25, "Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems."
