I have two qeustions regarding an emergency voice evacuation system.
1. Are there any codes that direct when an
emergency voice evacuation system is required?
I was told from fire alarm mfgr. sales rep. saying NFPA101 requires an emergeny voice evacuation sytem where occupancy load is greater that 300 people. Is that correct? If that is true then, virtually, every building has to have an emergency voice evac sytem. I was trying to find that provision on NFPA101 but I wasn't able to locate it? Can anyone tell me what section it is?
2. Can you use PA system as an emergency voice evac system? If you can, what code allows you to do it?
Thanks for your answer in advance.
