Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that deficiencies in fire alarm and detection system components will go unnoticed and will not be corrected, which could lead to the improper operation of the system in a fire situation, which could lead to the inability of the system to promptly notify persons in the building, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.

Intent 2:

To limit the probability that deficiencies in fire alarm and detection system components [that are part of a fire alarm system designed to notify the fire department] will go unnoticed and will not be corrected, which could lead to the system not operating properly in a fire situation, which could lead to the inability of the system to promptly notify emergency responders, which could lead to delays in carrying out fire emergency response operations, which could lead to:

  • delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, or
  • the spread of fire.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
