Steps
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paywalled document sold directly by NFPA (nfpa.org/product/nfpa-110-standard-for-emergency-and-standby-power-systems) — do not quote specific clause text without a licensed copy
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
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
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
Known gotchas
Never assert specific NFPA 110 testing intervals as directly sourced from the standard itself unless quoting a licensed copy or an official state-code adoption that reproduces the requirement — vendor/dealer blog summaries are not primary sources and can be stale or simplified
IFC Section 604's occupancy list explicitly includes non-healthcare commercial contexts (smoke control, egress lighting, elevators, membrane structures, semiconductor facilities) — do not scope this route to healthcare/hospital applications, which are out of scope
