  1. The Relevant Standards Update Louis T. Fiore Chair CSAA Standards Committee

  2. What this will cover: • the status of codes and standards that impact the monitoring industry, including revisions to NFPA 72 and the organization’s commenting process • advise on the impact of proposed revisions and standard developments, as well as suggest actions to protect your business

  3. What are these standards NFPA 72 NFPA 730/731 NFPA 3/4 UL 827 & UL 1981 UL 1610 CS-V-01

  4. NFPA Codes and Standards

  7. NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code Current Edition: 2013 Next Edition: 2016

  8. Various Chapters • Mostly editorial changes to clarify language

  9. SIG-PRO (Protected Premises) proposal to eliminate ground fault detection on networked (CAT5/6) wiring. This would be a Class N Circuit. SIG-PRO voted to change the definition of fire protection zones within a premises. Non-fire additions would require a isolation module to be installed for each entry into a zone.

  10. NFPA 72 Chapter 29 Household Fire

  11. Interactive Servicessuggested revisions 29.7.6.8 Any data exchange between the fire alarm system and separate independent devices via remote access shall not compromise the integrity of the fire alarm system. 29.7.6.9 Remote resetting and silencing of a fire alarm control unit from other than the protected premises shall be inhibited for a minimum of 4 minutes from the initial activation of the fire alarm signal.

  12. On site power requirements • Communicators • 24 hour power minimum for all necessary equipment • Report a signal indicating loss of power

  13. Mesh Networks* Mesh networks shall meet the same requirements of supervision as low power wireless Shared with other premise operating systems, but Shall be listed as a fire alarm devices Troubles within 200 seconds *Zigbee & Z-Wave

  14. Smoke and CO Alarm Life • 10 year life (replace if device fails operability test inside of 10 years) • CO devices require a “End of Life Signal”

  15. Smoke Detector SupervisionChapter 23 Protected Premises Fire Alarm Systems 23.16.4 Monitoring for Integrity. 23.16.4.2 The occurrence of any single fault that disables transmission between any low-power radio transmitter and the receiver/fire alarm control unit shall cause a latching trouble signal within 200 seconds. Exception: Until the expiration date for this exception of June 30, 2013, the time period for a low-power radio transmitter 4 hours maximum for a transmitter serving a single initiating device 4 hours maximum for a retransmission device repeater

  16. How we mitigate • We have plans to submit a TIA* to eliminate the exception's date which would then allow a 4 hour check-in. *Tentative Interim Amendment

  17. Household Testing 14.4.6.1 Testing. Household fire alarm systems shall be tested by a qualified service technician at least annually. The installing contractor shall be required to provide this information in writing to the customer upon completion of the system installation. To the extent that the fire alarm system is monitored offsite, the supervising station contractor shall provide notice of this requirement to the customer on a yearly basis.

  18. Next-Gen 911 Lack of data to develop satisfactory code guidelines for the 2016 cycle

  19. Chapter 26 (SSS) Supervising Station • Six hour requirement for DACT testing still in the document • Expanded language for “Remote Station”

  20. AICC POTS SurveyAugust 2012 and 2013 %

  21. NFPA 3 Recommended Practice for the Commissioning of Fire Protection Systems. Move this cycle to make it a Standard. Fine for large buildings and projects, but is it necessary for small projects? Could raise construction costs. Look for a move to make NFPA 3 a Standard during the next cycle.

  22. NFPA 4 New Standard for the Integrated Testing of Fire Protection Systems. To be done when a building is first put on line and then at five-year cycles. This is for end-to-end testing, which no NFPA Standard requires at this time. Will require alarm providers to work closely with sprinkler and other fire protection providers.

  23. NFPA 730: Guide to Premises Security NFPA 731: Standard for the Installation of Electronic Premises Security Systems

  24. NFPA 730: Guide to Premises Security Will remain a Guide this cycle, but there will be continue efforts to convert to a Code during the next cycle. Several Task Forces have been formed to explore areas of the document that could be converted to code language (shall vs. should).

  25. NFPA 731: Standard for the Installation of Electronic Premises Security Systems No major changes made to this cycles edition. There is no known jurisdictions that have adopted 731 to date.

  26. UL Standards

  27. UL 827 Central-Station Alarm Services UL 1981 Central-Station Automation Systems UL 827 & UL 1981

  28. UL 827 & UL 1981 • Task Groups were convened to rewrite both standards • Task Groups finished their work and drafts have been “correlated.” • Drafts posted on UL’s CSDS* site for comments (Closed 7/8/13) • Will soon be up for a vote by the STP • Comments will be accepted by those registered for UL’s CSDS* * Collaborative Standards Development System

  29. UL 1610 Central-Station Burglar-Alarm Units

  30. Needed change Currently under 62A Packet Switched Data Networks: “A loss of connection/signal shall be reported and identified within 200 seconds at the central station receiving unit. • Language is also in UL 365 Police Station Connected Burglar Alarm Units and Systems

  31. CSAA Standards

  32. CS-V-01 Alarm Verification and Notification Procedures

  33. Changes to CS-V-01 • Clean up and updates • Public Comment Period open until November 25, 2013 • Go to: www.ltfiore.com/CS-V-01-2013.html to download the draft & required form to submit a comment
