Fire Alarm System Documentation

[IDG-02-002]

The Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72, requires that all aspects of a fire alarm system design, testing, service, repair and acceptance be documented. This requirement applies to new and existing systems, and it does not limit additional documentation from being generated. The documentation associated with fire alarm and signaling systems ensure the equipment is properly maintained and will perform as designed during a fire or other emergency. The Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) will make periodic inspections to ensure fire alarm and signaling systems are properly maintained by examining required documentation.
