Stay up-to-date and compliant with the latest requirements for better protecting telecommunications facilities from fires and related hazards.
In an increasingly digitally connected world, the public has never been more reliant on the continuity, safety, and security of telecommunications networks. NFPA 76, Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities, 2020 edition, offers comprehensive criteria for helping safeguard locations where telephone, video, data, wireless, and Internet transmissions are provided to the public.
The standard includes performance-based fire protection requirements and prescriptive options for various facility types, including:
Telecommunications equipment spaces
Primary distribution frames
Power areas and battery areas
Cable entrance facilities
Technical support centers
Standby engine spaces
Administrative areas
Building services and support areas within large and small facilities
The 2021 edition features significant changes you may need to know for your work.
The updated NFPA 76 provides information and provisions accounting for the rapidly evolving practices, technologies, and challenges of the telecommunications industry. The latest version includes a variety of revisions, including:
Clarification of battery terminology
Update of the term flooded lead-acid and flooded NiCd batteries to vented lead-acid and vented NiCd batteries
Change of the term lithium to lithium-ion throughout the document to specify a type of lithium battery
Deletion of spill control requirements for sodium nickel batteries (these batteries do not need spill control because of the battery chemistry)
Replacement of the term smoke detectors by spot-type smoke detectors to refer to a type of smoke detector discussed in the requirements and does not apply to other types of smoke detectors
This vital safety standard is a must-have for designers, architects, facility owners, AHJs, and anyone concerned with protecting telecommunication facilities.
