NFPA 72 provides the requirements for the installation, maintenance, and testing of fire alarm and emergency communication systems. However, it doesn't require that systems be installed. Building and fire codes provide the criteria for when a fire alarm system is required and what types of devices are to be provided. This session will review the requirements of NFPA 101 and the IBC for various occupancies and discuss the interaction between NFPA 72 and building codes.
