Fire Alarm Devices Req'd to Have Address Label?

10/5/2020

Are initiation devices (smoke detectors, manual pull stations, duct detectors) required to have individual labels on them showing the device address?

The project in question is military and is also subject to UFC requirements.

I do not believe there is a requirement to label initiating devices in UFC 3-600-01 or UFC 4-021-01 (MNS). I typically see this requirement come in from the project RFP or the local Fire Department Design Guide.

I have been labeling spot detectors, pull stations, modules for 20 years for USDOD - even though i have never found the requirements in UFC 3-600 or in UFGS 283576 or et. al. I have never battled the AHJ - and i dont know why not- as it can be time consuming on a BEQ, CDC or billeting project.. otherwise its chump change.

I just check the latest (unedited) 28 31 76... and nothing in section 2 or 3 - stating this requirment for additional labeling.
