Which code references CAN/ULC-S537 (Standard for Verification of Fire Alarm Systems) thereby making it a legal document?
First of all, the referenced standard (as well as the other applicable standards) represents the collaborative effort of several committed individuals that hail from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. Some work for fire alarm manufacturers, engineering firms and local building inspection authorities. CAN/ULC-S537 represents the minimum acceptable criteria for the testing and commissioning of a fire alarm system. In Canada, Provincial Building Codes primarily reference both CAN/ULC-S524 and CAN/ULC-S537 in their requirements for the installation of a fire alarm system (which also demonstrates how a “standard” becomes “accepted” or “legal”). In British Columbia, BCBC (2006) Section 3.2.4.5 is titled “Installation and Verification of Fire Alarm Systems”.
