The IFC cod...Hello and thank you for reaching out. The IFC code section relates to the occupant load of the entire facility. For example, if you had a strip mall (M occupancy) with 501 persons, each space would require notification associated with a fire alarm system as opposed to a dedicated function sprinkler monitoring system. I hope this helps.

To answer your response, I cannot simply say that notification is required in a group M occupancy as it depends on the number of occupants. IF the M occupancy has more than 500 persons total, notification IS required. IF there are more than 100 persons on a level above or below the level of exit discharge, than occupant notification IS required. Any occupant loads below these numbers, than occupant notification IS NOT required.
