Which standard governs the UPS within SEPSS?

• A. NFPA 111
• B. NFPA 72
• C. NFPA 70
• D. NFPA 13

Answer: (A)

The UPS in SEPSS is part of an emergency and standby power setup that must keep critical life-safety equipment powered during a power outage. NFPA 111 provides the requirements for designing, installing, testing, and maintaining emergency and standby power systems, including battery-based backups like UPS units, how they transfer to emergency power, their capacity, and how they are maintained to ensure readiness. This makes NFPA 111 the authoritative standard for this equipment. NFPA 72 covers fire alarm signaling, not the backup power system specifics; NFPA 70 covers general electrical wiring and installations; NFPA 13 pertains to sprinkler systems. So the UPS within SEPSS aligns with NFPA 111.
