NFPA 72 covers which of the following statements?

• A. Application
• B. Installation
• C. Location
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

NFPA 72 governs how fire alarm and signaling systems are used, how they are installed, and where their components are located. It defines the functions the system must perform in various occupancies, prescribes installation practices for wiring, devices, and panels, and specifies where detectors, bells/strobes, and control equipment should be placed to ensure proper coverage and audibility. Because it covers design, construction, and placement in a coordinated way, it includes all of these aspects. Therefore the correct choice is all of the above, since NFPA 72’s scope encompasses application, installation, and location, among other requirements for the system.
