Description
Stay at the forefront of fire safety technology with the NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, 2025 Edition. As the definitive standard for fire alarm systems, emergency communications, and mass notification, this edition introduces groundbreaking changes to address the digital transformation of the industry. It is the essential resource for engineers, installers, and facilities managers who need to design, install, and maintain the most advanced life safety systems.
The 2025 Edition marks a major shift by moving Cybersecurity from an informational annex directly into Chapter 11, making it a mandatory requirement for the first time. This ensures that networked systems are hardened against cyber threats. The code also embraces cutting-edge innovation with new standards for Acoustic Leak Detection and Thermal Image Fire Detectors, allowing for faster and more accurate hazard recognition. Additionally, a new Restricted Audible Mode Operation (RAMO) has been introduced to provide safer, less traumatic notification options for occupants in sensitive environments, such as those with neurodiversity or in early education settings.
Key Updates in the 2025 Edition:
-
Mandatory Cybersecurity (Chapter 11): Cybersecurity guidelines have been elevated from Annex J to mandatory requirements, covering configuration, access control, and security protocols.
-
New Detection Technologies: First-time requirements for Acoustic Leak Detectors (for pressurized gas leaks) and Thermal Image Fire Detectors.
-
Restricted Audible Mode (RAMO): A new notification mode designed to protect occupants sensitive to loud noises, utilizing alternative signaling methods.
-
Auxiliary Service Providers (ASP): New regulations for third-party and cloud-based intermediaries handling signal transmission to supervising stations.
-
High-Ceiling Spacing: Revised smoke detector spacing rules for ceilings exceeding 40 feet, now requiring performance-based design.
