Unless the pull stations are designed to be used with a specific panel or
manufacturer i.e. the addressible models, there is no requirement, to my
knowledge, that ordinary pull stations with plain old NO switches be listed
for a specific panel. The AHJ may have certain requirements as to whether
you need to upgrade the existing units, I don't know about NFPA.
