Which of the following is NOT a required purpose of the fire alarm code?

The purpose of fire alarm codes is to establish standards and requirements that ensure the effective performance of fire alarm systems in protecting life safety and property. These codes emphasize essential functions like monitoring fire conditions, facilitating evacuations in emergencies, and ensuring that fire suppression systems work properly.

In this context, testing fire drills, while important for overall emergency preparedness, is not specifically mandated by fire alarm codes. Fire drills are typically governed by other regulations or policies related to overall emergency preparedness and response procedures rather than directly by the fire alarm code itself. Therefore, while conducting fire drills is a critical part of maintaining safety, it does not fall under the required purposes of the fire alarm code.
