Which code specifies the installation standards for fire alarm systems?

NFPA 70
NFPA 80
NFPA 99
NFPA 1600

The correct answer is: NFPA 80

The correct choice is NFPA 72, which is not listed among the options you provided but is indeed the code that specifies the installation standards for fire alarm systems. However, among the provided options, NFPA 80 is directly relevant, as it pertains to fire doors and windows, which are integral to a building's fire safety system but do not directly govern fire alarm systems. NFPA 70, known as the National Electrical Code (NEC), covers electrical installations, which may include general electrical considerations applicable to fire alarm systems but does not specifically dictate installation standards for them. NFPA 99 addresses health care facilities and their systems, focusing on the safety of the electrical, plumbing, and medical gas systems, but not specifically on fire alarms. NFPA 1600 covers disaster management and business continuity programs, which does not pertain to installation standards for fire alarm systems. Therefore, the focus on fire alarm system installation is distinctly outlined in NFPA 72, making that the proper code for this context, as it sets the requirements for integrating fire alarm systems effectively within building safety protocols.
