EIRE DETECTION As described in OSHA 1910.1642, some concerns are associated with the selection,
SYSTEM installation, m a i n t e ~ ~ and
c e o p d o n of detection systems. .The number, spacing and
CONCERNS location of devices must be in accordance with the nature of the devices. Following
initiation of a signal by a detection device, the device must be restored promptly.
Detection devices must be maintained, tested and adjusted by trained personnel to
maintain proper reliability. Devices must be protected and the response time of a device
should ensure the objectives of its installation.

Fire alarm system This unit has presented a general discussion. Details concerning the design, installation,
details wmmissioning, maintenance and testing of fire alarm systems can be found in the
references listed below. NFPA 723 (National Fire Alarm Code) as well as OSHA
1910.1642 and OSHA 1910.165 set the requirements for detection and alarm systems.
In a joint project, NFPA and Society of Fire Protection Engineers have published "Fire
Alarm Signaling Systemsw1 as a resource to help users apply the codes and standards and
to act as a utilitarian guide for basic operational requirements.
