901.2 Fire protection systems.
Fire protection systems shall be installed, repaired, operated and maintained in accordance with this code and the International Fire Code .
Any fire protection system for which an exception or reduction to the provisions of this code has been granted shall be considered to be a required system.
Exception: Any fire protection system or portion thereof not required by this code shall be permitted to be installed for partial or complete protection provided that such system meets the requirements of this code.
Example Building does not "require" an alarm and notification (system smoke & heat) but the owner elects to put them in. Because it is not a "required" system and they are only doing a "partial" sytem the alarm designer does not want to include the duct detectors in the fire alarm control unit as required by 907.3.1 because it refers you back to 907.2 which does not require the sytem to be installed in the first place.
I am confused what is a partial protection? :banghd
