Modernize Emergency Power Standards in HealthcareGAP BETWEEN STANDARDS AND REGULATION
NFPA 110 (2025) advances emergency power system performance, maintenance, and resilience for healthcare facilities. Yet CMS regulations still reference NFPA 110 (2010), creating a gap between recognized best practices and federally enforced requirements. Closing this gap is critical to patient safety and healthcare resilience.

What is NFPA 110?
- NFPA 110 governs emergency generator requirements,
performance, and maintenance for life safety applications. - Other applications and facilities (mission critical, standby power)
often use NFPA 110 as their generator compliance guideline. - NFPA 110 is designed to ensure the reliability of
the emergency generator.
