Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a ruling which includes a requirement that hospitals, critical access hospitals, and long term care facilities, evaluate their emergency and standby power systems. Specifically, they must be inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with NFPA 99, NFPA 110, and NFPA 111.

NFPA®’s CEPSS-HC certification provides health care facility managers an opportunity to demonstrate that they have the expertise to help keep patients, staff, and visitors to their facilities safe.
