NFPA 101 Code Changes 2021 - IEEE Advancing Technology
IEEE Advancing Technology for Humanity - As codes and standards change we must keep up with the latest technologies in order for us to advance. Today we will discuss the changes to the 2021 Fire and Life Safety code NFPA 101 in order to advance our technologies in buildings and structures.
Electronics, controls, power, energy, computers, fire protection, aerospace and communications all need to be updated in order to advance technology for humanity. Join us today for an update on the national fire protection association Life Safety Code as we advance technology. We will discuss:
- Provisions making sprinklers mandatory in new daycare occupancies with more than 12 clients
- Enhanced sprinkler requirements for existing high-rise buildings containing ambulatory health care, business, industrial, or apartment building occupancies
- Amended construction limits for existing nursing homes
- Clarification that non-required fire doors are not subject to the requirements of NFPA 80, including annual inspection
- New provisions for temporary barriers to separate areas under construction in health care and ambulatory health care occupancies
- Updated criteria for special amusement buildings
- Requirements making sprinklers mandatory for new bars and restaurants with an occupant load of 50 or more
- Minimum requirement added for fire department two-way communication signal strength in all new buildings
