Can a system be considered fire safe even if it is not cleaned per NFPA 96 (i.e. ENTIRE exhaust system cleaned to BARE METAL)?
11.4.1 Upon inspection, if found to be contaminated with deposits from grease-laden vapors, the entire exhaust system shall be cleaned by a properly trained, qualified, and certified company or person(s) acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction in accordance with Section 11.3
11.4.2 Hoods, grease, removal devices, fans, ducts and other appurtenances shall be cleaned to bare metal prior to surfaces becoming heavily contaminated with grease or oily sludge.
This is the 2001 edition but I think the 2004 says pretty much the same thing.
