Stay on the leading edge of
alarm system advances with the 2007 NFPA 72®!
Heightened risk awareness and changing safety
dynamics have revolutionized the role of alarm and signaling systems
in protecting life and property. At the same time, sophisticated
technical advances and solid research findings have improved their
ability to meet the new demands.
It is in response to and out of this dynamic
environment that the 2007 edition of NFPA 72: National Fire
Alarm Code® has emerged.
Technology- and research-driven
changes offer improved egress time and system reliability.
- Developed at the request of the U.S. Air
Force, a new Mass Notification Systems Annex
provides guidelines to facilitate fast, safe evacuation in
emergency situations such as fire, terrorist attack, biological
and hazardous chemical incidents, accidents, and natural
disasters.
- Added requirements for new
technology equipment, including video image smoke and
flame detection, multi-criteria and multi-sensor devices, fire
extinguisher monitors, and directional appliances
- New guidance on visual notification
in large space occupancies
- Updated rules for spacing of smoke
detectors in joist and beam and small room applications
- New requirement to provide a
Response Time Index for heat detectors
- New provisions for strobe
synchronization when installing visible notification
appliances
- New requirements for household fire
warning applications, including smoke alarms with voice
and expanded smoke alarm coverage for larger size homes
