## Which one is right for you?

It comes down to one question.

##### Do you work in a healthcare facility?

Hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, nursing facilities, psychiatric hospitals, or any occupancy where NFPA 99 applies to your electrical system.

##### Commercial, industrial, or data center?

Any facility with an emergency or standby power system governed by NFPA 110 — without the healthcare-specific NFPA 99 requirements.
