Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that inappropriate emergency power supply sources for fire alarm systems will be used, which could lead to the fire alarm systems not operating properly when there is a failure of the normal power source to the fire alarm system in a fire situation, which could lead to:
  • persons not being promptly notified of the fire, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, and
  • emergency responders not being promptly notified of the fire, which could lead to delays or ineffectiveness in carrying out fire emergency response operations, which could lead to:
    • delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, and
    • the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
