I have been told and I believe I have also seen a reference that the NFPA 72 code book does not require inspections on fire alarm systems if adding less than 6 devices on an existing system. We are adding a single notification device to an existing system and the contractor is concerned that we need a fire marshal inspection as well as certified engineered fire alarm drawings to add to the system. This seems overboard, as a single device that would normally cost $60 will now cost $2000. I have scoured the internet and can not seem to find a reference to the code. Any help?
