Nfpa Required Protection, Service and Warranty

10. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION

The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the following informa- tion:

Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, includ- ing basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each sleeping room.

Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas sep- arated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this rea- son, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the base- ment, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of the smoke alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as these loca- tions occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.

This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 (NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).

NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND INSURANCE COMPANY OF YOUR SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION.

11.CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL)

“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equip- ment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows. A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or smoke detectors in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.”

The NFPA suggests that alarms installed within 20' (6.1m) of cooking appliances shall have an alarm silence feature or be of the photoelectric type.
