The Ohio Basic Building Code requires installations to conform to the requirements outlined in NFPA 7, chapter 35.

The Ohio Basic Building Code requires installations to conform to the requirements outlined in NFPA 7, chapter 35.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. NFPA 70
• D. NFPA 101

Answer: (B)

The requirement is not accurate because fire alarm system installations in Ohio’s Basic Building Code follow NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code, which covers the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of fire alarm systems. NFPA 70 is the National Electrical Code and deals with electrical wiring, not fire alarm installation standards. NFPA 101 is the Life Safety Code, addressing safety principles and occupancy requirements rather than the detailed installation rules for fire alarms. NFPA 7, chapter 35 is not the standard used for these installations in this context. So the statement is false.
