Daily academic activities and safety in educational institutions need a steady power supply to mitigate interruptions. A backup power system helps maintain resilience in these facilities. But facilities shouldn’t stop there. A testing program is also an essential piece of power availability.

An Overview of NFPA 110

The National Fire Protection Agency publishes NFPA 110 - Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems. It provides minimum guidance on the design, installation, maintenance, and testing of backup power systems, guidance that is referenced by other industry standards such as NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code, NFPA 99 – The Healthcare Facilities Code, and The Joint Commission Hospital Accreditation Standards.

Reliable backup power is more than just an issue for healthcare. It also impacts educational institutions, as power resilience is critical for facilitating academic activities and providing safe and comfortable student spaces.
