- Abstract
- Codes requiring fire protection equipment are becoming more common every day. At present, the biggest growth is in fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and communication systems. The laws requiring the installation of such systems, are, of course, very general and, in one way or another, they reference nationally recognized standards for adequacy and reliability. While there are other standards such as ASTM and ANSI, most of us read "nationally recognized standards" as being NFPA, UL, and FM.
