The Ohio Building Code requires that wire conform to the requirements of chapter 27 of the NFPA 76.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only in new buildings

Answer: (B)

The wiring requirements in the Ohio Building Code come from the appropriate electrical and fire‑alarm standards, not from a telecom‑specific standard. In practice, electrical wiring in buildings is governed by NFPA 70 (the National Electrical Code), and fire alarm system wiring by NFPA 72. NFPA 76 covers fire protection for telecommunications facilities, and its Chapter 27 is not the general wiring standard applied to most buildings under the Ohio Building Code. So the idea that the Ohio Building Code requires wire to conform to Chapter 27 of NFPA 76 is not correct.
