Help protect companies and organizations against potentially devastating damage and loss with advanced protocols in NFPA 75, Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment.

Updated to reflect the systems and equipment in use today, this Standard presents the latest requirements for rooms or areas with information technology installations needing fire protection -- including suppression, detection, and building construction in what are often unique operating environments.

Application is based on risk considerations including business interruption aspects of the functions such as storing or relaying banking, health care, or stock market information, as well as the fire threat to the installation.

A risk-based approach is now permitted for specific provisions -- to assist both fire protection engineers and the AHJs responsible for verifying their work. This edition helps designers, facility managers, AHJs, and insurance professionals engineer the best defense for IT equipment, and ensure appropriate levels of fire protection are maintained.
