BDA/ERRCS Compliance in Georgia
Georgia requires buildings to meet specific fire code requirements for first responder radio coverage. Whether you're in Atlanta or Augusta, or elsewhere in the state, BDA Systems provides installation and certification services while coordinating with the local AHJ on applicable requirements.
Georgia requires ERRCS under IFC 2018 with Atlanta Metro leading implementation through enhanced local requirements.
