What is the NFPA 72 Code and what does it require for commercial buildings in Florida?
The NFPA 72 Code in Florida requires that emergency communication systems and associated operating protocals are effective for large-scale emergencies in buildings with challenging radio frequency propagaton environments, and that they can be used to identify, locate, and track emergency responders in the field and within building environments.
Berk-Tel Communications installs and services Public Saftey DAS Boosters to meet Florida’s requirements.
While some Florida jurisdictions had already adopted this code, “it’s now statewide code,” said Karl Thompson, Chief Engineer of the Florida Division of the State Fire Marshal, Bureau of Fire Prevention, and member of the Safer Buildings Coalition.
The NFPA 1 Annex is a five-page document offering specific recommendations for performance, testing, and monitoring of radio enhancement systems (RES), better known as DAS or BDA systems.
