Title
Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems
National Fire Protection Association
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2010
Scope:
This standard covers performance requirements for emergency and
standby power systems providing an alternate source of electrical
power to loads in buildings and facilities in the event that the
primary power source fails.
Power systems covered in this standard include power sources,
transfer equipment, controls, supervisory equipment, and all
related electrical and mechanical auxiliary and accessory equipment
needed to supply electrical power to the load terminals of the
transfer equipment.
This standard covers installation, maintenance, operation, and
testing requirements as they pertain to the performance of the
emergency power supply system (EPSS).
This standard does not cover the following:
Application of the EPSS
Emergency lighting unit equipment
Distribution wiring
Utility service when such service is permitted as the
EPSS
Parameters for stored energy devices
The equipment of systems that are not classed as Level 1 or
Level 2 systems in accordance with Chapter 4 of this standard.
*This standard does not establish criteria for stored energy
systems.
The selection of any of the following is not within the scope of
this standard:
Specific buildings or facilities, or both, requiring an EPSS
Specific loads to be served by the EPSS
*Assignment of type, class, or level to any specific load
Purpose. This standard contains performance
requirements for an EPSS.
It is the role of other NFPA standards to specify which
occupancies require an EPSS and the applicable level, type, and
class. This standard does not specify where an EPSS is
required.
This standard also is intended to provide guidance for
inspectors, designers, installers, manufacturers, and users of
EPSSs and to serve as a vehicle for communication between the
parties involved. It is not intended as a design manual.
Compliance with this standard is not intended to exempt the
parties involved from their respective responsibilities for the
design, installation, maintenance, performance, or compliance with
other applicable standards and codes.
Application. This document applies to new
installations of EPSSs, except that the requirements of Chapter 8
shall apply to new and existing systems. Existing systems shall not
be required to be modified to conform, except where the authority
having jurisdiction determines that nonconformity presents a
distinct hazard to life.
