Hydrostatic testing for aboveground piping-NFPA 13

[racp12]

I am reviewing a document on testing a wet pipe sprinkler system . Piping is aerial, with hanger supports. On NFPA 13, I found information for hydrostatic testing under Chapter 10-Underground Requirements, but I cannot find requirements for aerial piping.
I suppose that due to my lack of experience in the fire protection area, something is not clear for me

Look for the chapter "Acceptance"

Mr. MatthewJWillis,
Thank you very much.

No worries.

I would have gave chapter, but it is a moving target past several revisions....
