What is not included in NFPA 72 regarding textual notification appliance requirements?

NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, establishes specific standards for the performance and installation of fire alarm systems, including their notification appliances. Within this context, textual notification appliances are designed to deliver vital information during emergencies.

Exit signs are not considered a part of the requirements for textual notification appliances outlined in NFPA 72. While exit signs are essential for indicating the direction to exits in buildings during emergencies, they are regulated separately under different codes, such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Building Code (IBC).

On the other hand, elements like text messages, voice instructions, and emergency contact numbers can be part of the broader framework addressed by NFPA 72, as they are relevant to conveying critical information during an emergency to ensure safety and proper evacuation procedures. Thus, exit signs stand out as not being categorized under textual notification appliance requirements within the NFPA 72 framework.
