Previous editions titled: NFPA pocket guide to fire alarm system installation.

Fully updated to reflect the provisions of the 2007 National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) and the 2005 National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, this brand-new edition provides all the information you need to design, install, or maintain fire alarm systems. It has been reorganized to follow the order of topics presented within the NAFC, and includes updated requirements for power supplies, survivability, and spacing of detectors and notification appliances.

This edition of NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, was prepared by the TechnicalCommittees on Fundamentals of Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems, Testing and Maintenance of FireAlarm and Signaling Systems, Initiating Devices for Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems, NotificationAppliances for Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems, Protected Premises Fire Alarm and SignalingSystems, Emergency Communication Systems, Supervising Station Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems,Public Emergency Reporting Systems, and Single- and Multiple-Station Alarms and HouseholdSignaling Systems, released by the Correlating Committee on Signaling Systems for the Protection ofLife and Property, and acted on by NFPA at its June Association Technical Meeting held June 11-14,2018, in Las Vegas, NV. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 14, 2018, with an effectivedate of September 3, 2018, and supersedes all previous editions.This document has been amended by one or more Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) and/orErrata. See "Codes & Standards" at www.nfpa.org for more information.This edition of NFPA 72 was approved as an American National Standard on September 3, 2018.

This book focuses on topics in the entire spectrum of fire safety science, targeting research in fires, explosions, combustion science, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, risk analysis, structural engineering, and other subjects. The book contributes to a gain in advanced scientific knowledge and presents or advances new ideas in all topics in fire safety science. Two decades ago, the 1st Asia-Oceania Symposium on Fire Science and Technology was held in Hefei, China. Since then, the Asia-Oceania Symposia have grown in size and quality. This book, reflecting that growth, helps readers to understand fire safety technology, design, and methodology in diverse areas including historical buildings, photovoltaic panels, batteries, and electric vehicles.
