FIRE DETECTION, ALARM AND MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS Inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire detection, alarm and Mass Notification systems shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and NFPA 72 (latest edition). The following list highlights minimum requirements for the essential care of fire alarm systems. This list, however, is not meant to replace manufacturer's instructions and updated code requirements. This data is based on the 2013 edition.
