What must be true about the design of emergency and standby systems in industry?

The design of emergency and standby systems must be properly integrated into the overall electrical plan review process to ensure that they meet safety and operational standards. This requirement is critical because these systems are essential for maintaining power during outages or emergencies, thereby protecting both personnel and property. A well-designed system takes into account load requirements, the quality of equipment, installation practices, and operational protocols that need to be followed under emergency conditions.

Moreover, integrating these systems into the electrical plan review helps in identifying potential issues early in the design phase and ensures compliance with relevant codes and regulations. Proper validation during this process ensures that the system functions as intended when needed, aligning with best practices in safety and reliability.

Although following local construction codes and validation by the state are also important aspects of system implementation, they come as part of the broader requirement for proper design and planning during the review process to ensure comprehensive safety and effectiveness of emergency and standby systems.
