Requirements are used to prevent the
migration of smoke and reduce the potential for fire in forced air
systems in buildings that are over 25,000 cubic feet or Types III,
IV, and V construction over three stories in height. It also
applies to other buildings and structures not covered by other
applicable NFPA standards.
NFPA 90A addresses:
- HVAC systems, components, and air
distribution
- Integration of a ventilation and
air-conditioning system(s) with building construction
- Controls including wiring, manual
control, smoke dampers, and smoke detection for automatic
control
- Acceptance testing – including an option
for testing flame spread of plastic pipe for use in plenums
that's new for the 2018 edition.
Apply the latest safeguards using NFPA 90A.
NFPA 90A plays an integral role in providing
