Steps

  1. Confirm the current published edition is NFPA 72, 2025 edition (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code), approved as an American National Standard in September 2024.
  2. Note NFPA 72 covers application, installation, location, performance, inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire alarm systems, supervising station alarm systems, public emergency alarm reporting systems, and emergency communications systems.
  3. Review the supervising station/communicator chapter for monitoring and dispatch requirements relevant to central station operations.
  4. Be aware the 2025 edition expanded cybersecurity requirements and added new communicator latency/jitter trouble-signal provisions for dual-path systems.
  5. Check with your AHJ which edition has been locally adopted — many jurisdictions lag and still enforce the 2022 or an earlier edition through their adopted fire/building code.
