NOTE: The designer must provide design features in
accordance with the requirements of NFPA 70, NFPA 99
for medical facilities. The designer must provide
design features in accordance with the requirements
of NFPA 70 and NFPA 110 for emergency and standby
applications. For emergency and standby
applications select either Level 1 or Level 2.
Level 1 defines the most stringent equipment
performance requirements for applications where the
failure of the equipment to perform could result in
loss of human life or serious injury. Level 2
defines equipment performance where failure of the
equipment to operate is less critical to human life.
Edit the table to include all required shutdowns
and alarms. Delete optional alarms which are not

the column that shows Corps of Engineers required
