Given by the NFPA 110/111 Chairman, this session discusses changes to NFPA 110, Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems, and NFPA 111, Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems, that can affect both future accreditation activities and emergency power reliability. Major differences between the pre-2000 editions currently referenced and the 2010 editions referenced by both NFPA 101®-2012 and NFPA 99-2012 will be highlighted. Clarifications and new information in the 2013 editions are also covered to assist health care facilities in complying with the 2012 Life Safety Code® as well as newer building codes.
