What document outlines the standards for fire alarm installations?

The NFPA Code, specifically the National Fire Protection Association's codes and standards, provides comprehensive guidelines and requirements for the installation, maintenance, and testing of fire alarm systems. The most relevant standard would be NFPA 72, which covers the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. This code addresses various aspects of fire alarm systems, including application, design, installation, performance, and maintenance, ensuring that systems are reliable and effective in providing fire detection and alarm services.

Other documents such as the OSHA Guidelines focus on occupational safety and health standards rather than specific fire alarm system requirements. The Building Code Manual may include some references to fire safety and alarm systems, but it typically does not provide the detailed standards required for the installations themselves. Construction Specifications may outline the project requirements for construction, but they are not specific to the fire alarm standards like those found in NFPA documentation. Thus, the NFPA Code is the recognized authority for fire alarm system installations.
