It doesn't have anything to do with CO. The license is required, because in
the Florida Statute, a private company, that is inspecting a fire alarm
system for compensation, must be licensed.

 A Florida building owner isn't allowed to inspect
> their own fire alarm system?

Sure they can but that doesn't satisfiy the requirements set by UL to have a
system certificated by them. Once a building fire alarm system is
certificated by UL,
they can come and inspect and test the building at any time of the day or
night and they bring the fire inspectors with them. They are testing the
system, the central stations handling of the alarm and the runner service
response time. Guess who is charged for this unscheduled surprise
inspection. They gain access from the fire knox box. It is part of
maintaining the certificate.
