I don't think the NFPA decides. I believe the manufacturer decides
whether the panel is a burg or fire/burg listed panel depending on
what is hooked up to it.

For example, I use GE Concord panels

To become UL 1023 Household burglary alarm system unit listing I have
to connect at least one wired or wireless contact and change some
programming

For UL985 Household fire warning system listing I have to connect at
least one wired or wireless smoke detector and change some
programming.
