NFPA 2003 9.6.1.8 had following:

For the purposes of this Code, a complete fire alarm system shall be used for initiation, notification, and control and shall provide the following.
(a) Initiation. The initiation function provides the input signal to the system.
(b) Notification. The notification function is the means by which the system advises that human action is required in response to a particular condition.
(c) Control. The control function provides outputs to control building equipment to enhance protection of life.

Anyone know where that went in NFPA 2018?

Well then as stated in the other thread, you need to invest in the right materials, training, and tools to do the job.

Yeah you are right that I have imagine investing in all those NFPA books that have electrical and IBC but there is no way I can match all your knowledge in here. Now that takes years

Lots of people have asked not in general electric forum but in NEC forum as well nothing related to NEC see you seemed to enjoy their discussion even participate, encourage it

The requirements for the initiation, notification, and control are found in each chapter of NFPA 101. Pick your occupancy, and if its new or existing, and look in that chapter.
