All ERCES must be monitored by the fire alarm system in accordance with the code/standard determined by the AHJ/Fire Code Official. It is important to note the requirements of the National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72 as well.
Be sure to get your copy of the full referenced IFC Code or NFPA Code or Standard directly from ICC or NFPA to get the latest revisions and access to explanatory material and annex info.

From the Chief’s Corner: One-Size-Fits-All, But Not for ERCES…
By Chief Alan Perdue (ret.), SBC Executive Director
Posted on October 25, 2023
The idiom one-size-fits-all can be used to describe situations, items, policies, etc. that are intended to apply to a broad range of individuals. The term, as defined by Merriam-Webster, means: “…applying to all cases or individuals without modification.” Of course, one-size-fits-all is not an exact fit for some individuals, nor, in the case of a policy, is it designed for every situation. Through my travels and experiences, I often see folks trying to apply the one-size-fits-all concept to the world of ERCES. Quite frankly: That doesn’t work.
