This class is designed to guide participants through the 2018 IFC requirements related to fire protection systems (Chapter 9). These requirements include suppression systems, standpipe systems, automatic fire alarm systems, automatic detection systems and additional fire protection assemblies. This class provides code officials and design professionals with an understanding of the Chapter 9 fire protection system requirements in the 2018 IFC and 2018 IBC, the design and operation of various fire-extinguishing and fire detection and signaling systems, a review of the applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for fire protection systems and the requirements for the inspection and maintenance of fire protection systems. Because the 2018 IFC and Chapter 9 of the 2018 IBC have such broad scopes, the focus of this seminar is to review design, construction, inspection and testing requirements for, Fire sprinkler systems; Fire-extinguishing systems; Standpipe systems; Fire alarm and detection systems; Smoke control systems; and Smoke removal systems. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to apply key provisions regarding fire protection systems in the 2018 International Fire Code® to aid in code administration and enforcement.
