What does NFPA 90A regulate?

  1. Installation of air conditioning and ventilating systems

  2. Maintenance of fire suppression systems

  3. Design of electrical systems in buildings

  4. Implementation of emergency response plans

The correct answer is: Installation of air conditioning and ventilating systems

NFPA 90A stands for the National Fire Protection Association's standard that specifically addresses the installation of air conditioning and ventilating systems. This standard is crucial for ensuring that these systems are designed and installed in a manner that minimizes the risk of fire spread through or within the systems. It outlines requirements for materials, installation practices, and the management of airflow in order to enhance fire safety and prevent ignition sources from being transported via the HVAC systems. By adhering to NFPA 90A, facilities can implement effective fire safety measures related to their HVAC systems, thereby protecting both occupants and property. The other options pertain to different aspects of fire safety and building standards, such as maintenance practices or design guidelines for electrical systems and emergency response protocols, which are outside the scope of NFPA 90A. This distinction highlights the valuable contribution of NFPA 90A to the overall fire safety landscape in relation to air handling and ventilation.
