Fire Alarm Notification Devices

Question

Is it the intent of 907.9 and specifically 907.9.1.1 to require notification devices in a Group M occupancy that does not meet the threshold requirement for a fire alarm system in 907.2.7?

Answer Published 06/16/2011 at 4:09 PM

No. 907.2 only requires notification devices when a fire
alarm system is required under the 907.2 subsections. If no
fire alarm system is required, no notification devices are
required.

Commentary

None.
