SUPPLEMENT 4
Life Safety Code® Enabling References
Editor’s Note: Supplement 4 provides users of NFPA 72®, National Fire Alarm and Sig-naling Code, with a summary of requirements from NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, 2009edition, that relate to fire alarm systems and fire alarm system features.
913
Users of NFPA 72®, National Fire Alarm and SignalingCode, often ask when a fire alarm system is required orwhen certain fire alarm system features are needed. Gen-erally speaking, NFPA 72 does not provide the answers tothese questions. For “required” fire alarm systems, theserequirements are found in occupancy, fire or buildingcodes, or in local statutes. (For “nonrequired” fire alarmsystems they must be determined by the system designerbased on the goals and objectives of the building owner.)This supplement is intended to assist the user of NFPA 72in understanding how to determine when a fire alarm sys-tem is required and what features and attributes it musthave.
Within NFPA’s set of codes and standards, NFPA101®, Life Safety Code®, 2009 edition, is the primary doc-ument used to establish these “enabling” requirements.This supplement provides a summary compilation of ref-erences and requirements from NFPA 101, grouped by oc-cupancy and organized by related fire alarm systemfeature. This summary is only intended to provide a start-ing point for users, and the organization and presentationof the requirements contained in this summary have beensubject to interpretation by the preparers of this supple-ment.
It is not intended that this supplement be used withoutconsulting the complete requirements of NFPA 101, and itshould not be assumed that this supplement includes acomplete and total set of fire alarm requirements fromNFPA 101. It is also important to note that many jurisdic-tions amend national codes at the local level. The reader ishighly encouraged to review the Life Safety Code or local
codes and all local amendments before beginning anywork, and if needed to consult with the authority having ju-risdiction on matters of interpretation.
The use of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, is fairlystraightforward. The reader is directed first to the occu-pancy chapter that encompasses the building in question.This chapter will contain all requirements for the fire alarmsystem in sections entitled “Detection, Alarm, and Com-munications Systems.” The individual sections in each oc-cupancy chapter will contain requirements that referencethe requirements of Section 9.6. The requirements in Sec-tion 9.6 in turn reference NFPA 72, National Fire AlarmCode, for the remaining installation requirements. Refer tothe following section for an excerpt of Section 9.6.
The occupancies that are included in this supplementare as follows:
● Assembly Occupancies, New and Existing — NFPA101, Chapters 12 and 13
● Educational Occupancies, New and Existing — NFPA101, Chapters 14 and 15
● Day-Care Occupancies, New and Existing — NFPA101, Chapters 16 and 17
● Health Care Occupancies, New and Existing — NFPA101, Chapters 18 and 19
● Ambulatory Health Care Occupancies, New and Ex-isting — NFPA 101, Chapters 20 and 21
● Detention and Correctional Occupancies, New andExisting — NFPA 101, Chapters 22 and 23
● One- and Two-Family Dwellings — NFPA 101, Chap-ter 24
than those of NFPA 72, which should be consulted for ad-ditional details.
9.6.1.1 The provisions of Section 9.6 shall apply onlywhere specifically required by another section of thisCode.
9.6.1.2 Fire detection, alarm, and communications sys-tems installed to make use of an alternative permitted bythis Code shall be considered required systems and shallmeet the provisions of this Code applicable to requiredsystems.
9.6.1.3 A fire alarm system required for life safety shall beinstalled, tested, and maintained in accordance with the ap-plicable requirements of NFPA 70, National ElectricalCode, and NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, unless itis an approved existing installation, which shall be permit-ted to be continued in use.
9.6.1.4 All systems and components shall be approved forthe purpose for which they are installed.
9.6.1.5* To ensure operational integrity, the fire alarmsystem shall have an approved maintenance and testingprogram complying with the applicable requirements ofNFPA 70, National Electrical Code, and NFPA 72, Na-tional Fire Alarm Code.
A.9.6.1.5 Records of conducted maintenance and testingand a copy of the certificate of compliance should be main-tained.
9.6.1.6* Where a required fire alarm system is out of serv-ice for more than 4 hours in a 24-hour period, the author-ity having jurisdiction shall be notified, and the buildingshall be evacuated or an approved fire watch shall be pro-vided for all parties left unprotected by the shutdown untilthe fire alarm system has been returned to service.
A.9.6.1.6 A fire watch should at least involve some spe-cial action beyond normal staffing, such as assigning anadditional security guard(s) to walk the areas affected.Such individuals should be specially trained in fire preven-tion and in occupant and fire department notification tech-niques, and they should understand the particular firesafety situation for public education purposes. (Also seeNFPA 601, Standard for Security Services in Fire LossPrevention.)
The term out of service in 9.6.1.6 is intended to implythat a significant portion of the fire alarm system is not inoperation, such as an entire initiating device, signalingline, or notification appliance circuit. It is not the intent ofthe Code to require notification of the authority having ju-risdiction, or evacuation of the portion of the building af-fected, for a single device or appliance.

EXTRACTED SECTION 9.6 FROM THE LIFESAFETY CODE
9.6 Fire Detection, Alarm, and CommunicationsSystems.
9.6.1* General.
A.9.6.1 The provisions of Section 9.6 cover the basicfunctions of a complete fire alarm system, including firedetection, alarm, and communications. These systems areprimarily intended to provide the indication and warningof abnormal conditions, the summoning of appropriate aid,and the control of occupancy facilities to enhance protec-tion of life.
Some of the provisions of Section 9.6 originated withNFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code. For purposes of thisCode, some provisions of Section 9.6 are more stringent

9.6.2.4 Manual fire alarm boxes shall be mounted on bothsides of grouped openings over 40 ft (12.2 m) in width, andwithin 5 ft (1.5 m) of each side of the opening.
9.6.2.5* Additional manual fire alarm boxes shall be lo-cated so that, on any given floor in any part of the building,no horizontal distance on that floor exceeding 200 ft (60m) shall need to be traversed to reach a manual fire alarmbox.
A.9.6.2.5 It is not the intent of 9.6.2.4 to require manualfire alarm boxes to be attached to movable partitions or toequipment, nor is it the intent to require the installation ofpermanent structures for mounting purposes only.
9.6.2.6* For fire alarm systems using automatic fire de-tection or waterflow detection devices to initiate the firealarm system in accordance with Chapters 11 through 43,not less than one manual fire alarm box shall be providedto initiate a fire alarm signal. The manual fire alarm boxshall be located where required by the authority having ju-risdiction.
A.9.6.2.6 The manual fire alarm box required by 9.6.2.6 isintended to provide a means to manually activate the firealarm system when the automatic fire detection system orwaterflow devices are out of service due to maintenance ortesting, or where human discovery of the fire precedes au-tomatic sprinkler system or automatic detection system ac-tivation. Where the fire alarm system is connected to amonitoring facility, the manual fire alarm box required by9.6.2.6 should be connected to a separate circuit that is notplaced “on test” when the detection or sprinkler system isplaced “on test.” The manual fire alarm box should be lo-cated in an area that is accessible to occupants of the build-ing and should not be locked.

9.6.1.7 For the purposes of this Code, a complete firealarm system shall provide functions for initiation, notifi-cation, and control, which shall perform as follows:
(1) The initiation function provides the input signal to thesystem.
(2) The notification function is the means by which thesystem advises that human action is required in re-sponse to a particular condition.
(3) The control function provides outputs to control build-ing equipment to enhance protection of life.
9.6.1.8 Protection of Fire Alarm System.
9.6.1.8.1* In areas that are not continuously occupied, andunless otherwise permitted by 9.6.1.8.1.1, 9.6.1.8.1.2, or9.6.1.8.1.3, automatic smoke detection shall be installed toprovide notification of fire at the following locations:
(1) Each fire alarm control unit(2) Notification appliance circuit power extenders(3) Supervising station transmitting equipment
A.9.6.1.8.1 The Code intends that only one smoke detec-tor is required to be installed at the fire alarm control unit,the notification circuit power extenders, and the supervis-ing station transmitting equipment, even when the area ofthe room would require more than one smoke detector ifinstalled according to the spacing rules in NFPA 72, Na-tional Fire Alarm Code, Chapter 5.
9.6.1.8.1.1 The provisions of 9.6.1.8.1(2) and 9.6.1.8.1(3)shall not apply to existing alarm systems.
9.6.1.8.1.2 Where ambient conditions prohibit installationof a smoke detector, a heat detector shall be used.
9.6.1.8.1.3 Automatic smoke detection shall not be re-quired where buildings are protected throughout by an ap-proved, supervised automatic sprinkler system inaccordance with Section 9.7 and the area containing thefire alarm control unit is sprinklered
9.6.2 Signal Initiation.
9.6.2.1 Where required by other sections of this Code, ac-tuation of the complete fire alarm system shall be initiatedby, but shall not be limited to, any or all of the followingmeans:

of manual fire alarm boxes for special uses often differsfrom those used in areas of normal occupancy. Manual firealarm boxes, such as those with locks, that are located inareas where the general public has limited access mightneed to have signage advising persons to seek assistancefrom staff in the event a fire is noted.
9.6.2.8 Where a sprinkler system provides automatic de-tection and alarm system initiation, it shall be providedwith an approved alarm initiation device that operateswhen the flow of water is equal to or greater than that froma single automatic sprinkler.
9.6.2.9 Where a total (complete) coverage smoke detec-tion system is required by another section of this Code, au-tomatic detection of smoke in accordance with NFPA 72,National Fire Alarm Code, shall be provided in all oc-cupiable areas, common areas, and work spaces inenvironments that are suitable for proper smoke detectoroperation.
9.6.2.10 Smoke Alarms.
9.6.2.10.1 General.
9.6.2.10.1.1 Where required by another section of thisCode, single-station and multiple-station smoke alarmsshall be in accordance with NFPA 72, National Fire AlarmCode, unless otherwise provided in 9.6.2.10.1.2,9.6.2.10.1.3, or 9.6.2.10.1.4.
9.6.2.10.1.2 The installation of smoke alarms in sleepingrooms shall be required where required by Chapters 11through 43.

A.9.6.2.10.1.3 NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, man-dates smoke alarms in all sleeping rooms, and intercon-nection of smoke alarms is required for both new andexisting installations. Per 9.6.2.10.1.2, the residential oc-cupancy chapters determine whether smoke alarms areneeded within sleeping rooms. Paragraph 9.6.2.10.1.3 lim-its the requirement for interconnection of smoke alarms tothose in new construction. This Code does not intend to re-quire compliant, existing smoke alarm installations to beinterconnected. This Code is periodically revised to addretrospective requirements only where the need is clearlysubstantiated.

9.6.3.5.1 Areas not subject to occupancy by persons whoare hearing impaired shall not be required to comply withthe provisions for visible signals.
9.6.3.5.2 Visible-only signals shall be provided wherespecifically permitted in health care occupancies in accor-dance with the provisions of Chapter 18 and Chapter 19.
9.6.3.5.3 Existing alarm systems shall not be required tocomply with the provision for visible signals.
9.6.3.5.4 Visible signals shall not be required in lodgingor rooming houses in accordance with the provisions ofChapter 26.
9.6.3.5.5 Visible signals shall not be required in exit stairenclosures.
9.6.3.5.6 Visible signals shall not be required in elevatorcars.
9.6.3.5.7* Public mode visual notification appliances inaccordance with NFPA 72 shall not be required in desig-nated areas as permitted by Chapters 11 through 43, pro-vided that they are replaced with approved alternativevisible means.
A.9.6.3.5.7 Visual notification appliances installed inlarge volume spaces, such as arenas, stadiums, malls andatriums, can be alternative devices which are not listed asvisible notification appliances for fire alarm systems pro-vided that the notification objective of the visual signal isreasonably achieved. Examples of alternative devices in-clude, but are not limited to, scoreboards, message boards,and other electronic devices that meet the performance ob-jectives of visible fire alarm appliances in large volumespaces.
It is the intent to permit the omission of visible notifi-cation appliances as identified in 9.6.3.5.7 provided thatthe adjacent areas that have not been specifically desig-nated as exempt are provided with visible notification asrequired by 9.6.3.5.
9.6.3.5.8* Where visible signals are not required, as per-mitted by 9.6.3.5.7, documentation of such omission shallbe maintained in accordance with 9.7.7.
A.9.6.3.5.8 Documentation should be maintained with theas-built drawings so that inspection and testing personnelunderstand that the visible appliances have been exemptedfrom certain areas and, therefore, can note the deviation onthe acceptance test documentation and ongoing inspectionreports. This will provide inspection and testing personnelwith necessary details regarding the omission of visiblenotification appliances.
ings and smoking. In the past several years, new featureshave become available to reduce this problem. These fea-tures are, however, not necessarily included in any specificinstallation.
9.6.3.2.2* Smoke detectors used solely for closingdampers or heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning sys-tem shutdown shall not be required to activate the buildingevacuation alarm, provided that the power supply and in-stallation wiring to the detectors are monitored by thebuilding fire alarm system, and the activation of the detec-tors initiates a supervisory signal at a constantly attendedlocation.
A.9.6.3.2.2 The concept addressed is that detectors usedfor releasing service, such as door or damper closing andfan shutdown, are not required to sound the buildingalarm.
9.6.3.2.3* Smoke detectors located at doors for the exclu-sive operation of automatic door release shall not be re-quired to activate the building evacuation alarm, providedthat the power supply and installation wiring to the detec-tors are monitored by the building fire alarm system, andthe activation of the detectors initiates a supervisory signalat a constantly attended location.
A.9.6.3.2.3 The concept addressed is that detectors usedfor releasing service, such as door or damper closing andfan shutdown, are not required to sound the building alarm.
9.6.3.2.4 Detectors in accordance with 22.3.4.3.1(2) and23.3.4.3.1(2) shall not be required to activate the buildingevacuation alarm.
9.6.3.3 Where permitted by Chapter 11 through Chapter43, a presignal system shall be permitted where the initialfire alarm signal is automatically transmitted without delayto a municipal fire department, to a fire brigade (if pro-vided), and to an on-site staff person trained to respond toa fire emergency.
9.6.3.4 Where permitted by Chapter 11 through Chapter43, a positive alarm sequence shall be permitted, providedthat it is in accordance with NFPA 72, National Fire AlarmCode.
9.6.3.5 Unless otherwise provided in 9.6.3.5.1 through9.6.3.5.8, notification signals for occupants to evacuateshall be audible and visible signals in accordance withNFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, and ICC/ANSIA117.1, American National Standard for Accessible andUsable Buildings and Facilities, or other means of notifi-cation acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction shallbe provided.
9.6.3.9.2* Where permitted by Chapters 11 through 43,automatically transmitted or live voice announcementsshall be permitted to be made via a voice communicationor public address system that complies with the following:
(1) Occupant notification, either live or recorded, shall beinitiated at a constantly attended receiving station bypersonnel trained to respond to an emergency.
(2) An approved secondary power supply shall be pro-vided for other than existing, previously approved sys-tems.
(3) The system shall be audible above the expected ambi-ent noise level.
(4) Emergency announcements shall take precedence overany other use.
A.9.6.3.9.2 The provisions of 9.6.3.9.2 offer an alterna-tive to the emergency voice alarm and communicationssystem provisions (live voice or recorded voice announce-ments) of NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code. Occupan-cies, such as large-venue assembly occupancies andmercantile mall buildings, are occupancies in which thephysical configuration (e.g., large-volume spaces), func-tion, and human behavior (including elevated levels of oc-cupant-generated noise) present challenges with respect toeffective occupant notification by standard means in ac-cordance with NFPA 72. Because the routine operation ofthese occupancies demands highly reliant, acousticallycapable, and sufficiently audible public address systems,properly trained staff can be relied on to use these publicaddress systems to effect occupant evacuation, relocation,or both.
As 9.6.3.9.2 specifically permits an alternative means ofnotification to that prescribed by NFPA 72, it does notmandate that the secondary power supply and the intelligi-bility and audibility facets of the public address systemcomply with NFPA 72 or suggest that equivalency with therelated provisions of NFPA 72 is required. However, it isanticipated that, when approving the secondary power andaudibility capabilities of public address systems, authori-ties having jurisdiction will ensure that these systems areconceptually comparable to the emergency voice alarmand communications system provisions of NFPA 72, suchthat a reliable and effective occupant notification system isprovided.
9.6.3.10 Unless otherwise permitted by another section ofthis Code, audible and visible fire alarm notification appli-ances shall comply with either 9.6.3.10.1 or 9.6.3.10.2.
9.6.3.10.1 Audible and visible fire alarm notification ap-pliances shall be used only for fire alarm system or otheremergency purposes.

9.6.3.6 The general evacuation alarm signal shall operatein accordance with one of the methods prescribed by9.6.3.6.1 through 9.6.3.6.3.
9.6.3.6.1 The general evacuation alarm signal shall oper-ate throughout the entire building.
9.6.3.6.2* Where total evacuation of occupants is imprac-tical due to building configuration, only the occupants inthe affected zones shall be notified initially. Provisionsshall be made to selectively notify occupants in otherzones to afford orderly evacuation of the entire building.
A.9.6.3.6.2 To approve an evacuation plan to selectivelynotify building occupants, the authority having jurisdictionshould consider several building parameters, includingbuilding compartmentation, detection and suppression sys-tem zones, occupant loads, and the number and arrange-ment of the means of egress.
In high-rise buildings, it is typical to evacuate the firefloor, the floor(s) above, and the floor immediately below.Other areas are then evacuated as the fire develops.
9.6.3.6.3 Where occupants are incapable of evacuatingthemselves because of age, physical or mental disabilities,or physical restraint, the private operating mode as de-scribed in NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code, shall bepermitted to be used. Only the attendants and other per-sonnel required to evacuate occupants from a zone, area,floor, or building shall be required to be notified. The no-tification shall include means to readily identify the zone,area, floor, or building in need of evacuation.
9.6.3.6.4 The general evacuation signal shall not be re-quired to operate in exit stair enclosures.
9.6.3.6.5 The general evacuation signal shall not be re-quired to operate in elevator cars.
9.6.3.7 Audible alarm notification appliances shall be ofsuch character and so distributed as to be effectively heardabove the average ambient sound level that exists undernormal conditions of occupancy.
9.6.3.8 Audible alarm notification appliances shall pro-duce signals that are distinctive from audible signals usedfor other purposes in a given building.
9.6.3.9 Automatically transmitted or live voice evacuationor relocation instructions shall be permitted to be used tonotify occupants and shall comply with either 9.6.3.9.1 or9.6.3.9.2.
9.6.3.9.1 Automatically transmitted or live voice evacua-tion or relocation instructions shall be in accordance withNFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code.
