Help ensure fire safety protocols comply with the latest provisions for protecting vital information technology equipment (ITE) to avoid loss and liabilities. Industries ranging from financials and health care to education, law enforcement, and a variety of others are heavily reliant on the performance and continuity of electronic computers, data processing machines, and associated equipment. It’s vital to protect these systems and components to defend against the disruption of critical business operations, property damages, and loss of information in storage or transmission. NFPAĀ® 75, Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment, 2020 edition, offers the most current requirements for mitigating risks of damages to your company, institution, or organization. This standard delivers broad-based performance criteria for safeguarding ITE installations and specified ITE areas from fire, including the related effects or heat, smoke, water, and explosion. The 2020 edition is updated to provide cutting-edge knowledge and insight into ITE fire protection. NFPA 75 is an essential safety document for designers, facility managers, AHJs, and anyone responsible for ensuring appropriate levels of fire protection in information technology equipment installations and areas. Content covers everything from performance-based design approaches, construction provisions, and equipment requirements to fire protection and detection features, procedures for emergency response and recovery, and more. The standard is updated to reflect advancements in industry equipment, practices, and technologies. Changes for 2020 include: Clarification of air sampling detector port location and coverage Deletion of the requirement for inside hose stream Addition of a new Chapter 13, Modular Data Centers, to specify which provisions from other chapters apply to modular data centers Clarified criteria for 1- and 2-hour fire barriers for structures that contain multiple occupancies Extracted specifications for battery requirements from Chapter 52 of NFPA 1, Fire Code Get up-to-date with the most current provisions for ITE and area fire protection compliance.
