Steps

  1. Confirm NFPA 110 (Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems) itself is a paywalled document sold directly by NFPA (nfpa.org/product/nfpa-110-standard-for-emergency-and-standby-power-systems) — do not quote specific clause text without a licensed copy
  2. Cite the International Fire Code (IFC) Section 604 instead as a freely-readable, model-code-level primary source: it requires emergency/standby power systems for listed non-healthcare occupancies (e.g., smoke-control systems, exit signs, means-of-egress illumination, elevators serving accessible means of egress, membrane structures, semiconductor fabrication facilities) to comply with NFPA 110 or NFPA 111
  3. Confirm the specific IFC edition and section numbering actually adopted in the relevant state/local jurisdiction, since numbering shifts between IFC cycles, rather than assuming current model-code text is what's locally enforced
  4. Note some states adopt NFPA 110 directly by reference in their own fire/building code (e.g., South Carolina's fire code references NFPA 110, NFPA 111, and NFPA 70) — cite the specific state code section, not a vendor blog paraphrase, for any compliance claim
