Scope:

1.1  This Standard prescribes inspection and test procedures for the purpose of verifying that the fire alarm system is installed in conformance with the design and CAN/ULC-S524, Standard for Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, and performs all of its intended functions as designed.

NOTE 1: This Standard is intended to apply to both required and voluntary fire alarm installations.

NOTE 2: Refer to Annex A (Informative), Informative Materials, A1.1.

Project need:

ULC 529 has changed and no longer has a min sensitivity limit of 4%/ft. Also, it is required in ULC 529 to mark the sensitivity range either on the product or in the instructions. Therefore, it no longer makes sense to include table 16.1 with min and max sensitivity limits that was from a previous edition of ULC 529.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
