NFPA 72 governs which category of systems?

• A. Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems
• B. Electrical Power Transmission
• C. Building Ventilation
• D. Plumbing

Answer: (A)

NFPA 72 governs Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems. It sets the minimum requirements for the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of systems that detect emergencies, initiate alarms, and notify occupants. The standard covers components like detectors, manual pull stations, control panels, power supplies, supervision, and the communication pathways that alert people and coordinate responses (including any voice evacuation where required). It’s focused on ensuring reliable alerting and life-safety signaling within buildings, and it’s distinct from electrical power transmission standards (NFPA 70), building ventilation rules, or plumbing codes.
