I heard that no electrical equipment other than lighting and fire alarm (speaker/strobes) is allowed in building stairwells. Is this true? If so, what code would this fall under? I'm trying to figure out if a recently installed magnetic door locking system leading into a building stairwell is code compliant. They put all the conduits and key switches by the door leading inside the stairwell that leads into the building corridors. They also put a remote power booster above the door inside the stairwell for the locking system that is tied into the building fire alarm. The installation was done a few months ago and now they want to submit drawings for permit. Don't ask...
