Ensuring Safety and Compliance: The Importance of Annual Fire Alarm Inspections

Various entities, including insurance companies, state health departments, and local municipalities mandate fire alarm system installation. These requirements are guided by the standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to minimizing risks related to fire, electrical, and related hazards. But why schedule annual inspections?

The Role of NFPA and Its Codes

NFPA’s global experts develop over 300 codes, continuously updating regulations to enhance safety, designed around preventing death, injury, property damage, and economic loss due to fire, electrical, and related hazards. While Per Mar strictly adheres to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) for installation and inspection of fire alarm systems, NFPA’s reach extends to other areas, like NFPA 10 for Portable Fire Extinguishers and NFPA 30 for Flammable Liquids, showcasing the breadth of their safety scope.
