Fire alarm is covered under ___.

Fire alarm is covered under ___.

• A. NFPA 60
• B. NFPA 19
• C. NFPA 54
• D. NFPA 72

Answer: (D)

Fire alarm systems are governed by NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. This standard specifies how fire alarm systems should be designed, installed, tested, and maintained, including initiation devices (like detectors and pull stations), notification appliances (sirens and strobes), control panels, wiring, power supplies, and system supervision. The other standards cover different topics—gas storage and handling, fuel gas installations, and related fire protection areas—not the fire alarm itself. That’s why NFPA 72 is the correct reference for fire alarm requirements.
