The term “Authority Having Jurisdiction” has become a standard term in the fire alarm industry. An acceptable
definition of “Authority Having Jurisdiction” is:
Systems installed in the USA fall under the jurisdiction of some authority. In some areas this may be a local
fire department; in other areas it may be a building inspector, insurance firm, etc. Different authorities may have
their own local requirements for the way the fire alarm system is installed and used. Most local authorities base
their requirements on the NFPA codes, but there may be important differences. You must install this system
in the way in which the authority having jurisdiction requires. If you do not know which authority has jurisdiction
in your area, contact your local fire department or building inspector for guidance.
It is important that you tell users to be aware of any requirements defined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Touching components that are improperly installed, applied or operated could be hazardous and possibly
fatal. Short circuits could cause arcing that could result in molten metal injuries. Therefore, only qualified
technicians familiar with electrical hazards should perform checkout procedures. Safety glasses should be
worn, and test equipment used for voltage measurements should be designed for this purpose and should be
in good working order.
