There were a few changes to the provisions in fire alarm section [Section 907] in the 2018 edition of the IFC, [which South Carolina will be implementing on January 1, 2020]. One of those [907.1.2 Fire Alarm Construction Documents] was a modification that aligned requirements for fire alarm plans and documentation requirements with NFPA 72 and deleted the old list that was in the previous editions.

Be sure to read the corresponding annex sections for Ch.7. I recommend using the handbook so you also get to read the NFPA commentary information to achieve a better understanding.

I don't see anything in NFPA 72 John Irwin
