These requirements cover emergency-signaling devices for the hearing impaired. The devices and/or systems covered by this standard are to be used in ordinary locations in accordance with requirements in the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72.

A signaling device as covered by these requirements consists of a unit assembly of electrical parts having provision for the connection of power supply circuits routed through the equipment by a prescribed scheme of circuiting. Also included are circuits that extend to separate devices by which additional units are actuated for signals. An installation wiring diagram attached to the product, or referenced in the product marking, indicates the devices and circuits that are acceptable for connection to the signaling device.

These requirements do not cover lights intended for private-mode fire-alarm signaling, lights intended for non-fire-alarm signaling applications, manual boxes, automatic fire detectors, or other initiating devices; nor do they cover bells, registers, or other indicating devices not provided as part of the product.

A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard.
