Abstract
Systems and methods are described for performing, verifying, and managing testing of backflow preventers. A method can include aspects directed toward confirming proper performance of tests on a backflow preventer by interrogating an inspector's location and credentials before producing test results. Systems are described to perform aspects of such methods. Further, a mobile device is provided for use by an inspector, the mobile device being directed toward confirming proper performance of tests on a backflow preventer. Aspects can also relate to the management of data related to the tests and backflow preventers.
