The CFAA Fire Alarm Technician’s Podcast
Ep 40 - Behind the scenes at ULC and the National Building Codes Committees
Season 1, Ep. 40
•
On this 40th episode (woah... 40 already!), we get into the codes and standards and how we go about updating them and the process of the hard-working committees, and how YOU can get involved and make a difference to influence the codes and standards!
Thanks to Tess Espejo from UL Solutions for being on the podcast to go over this topic.
We also have Aaron back for a codes corner to talk about the controversial topic of smoke detectors at the top of elevator shafts and the contemplated changes to the appendix item on whether a spot smoke detector at the top of a shaft should be considered a deficiency.
