The current building code in CA requires emergency equipment to be braced against seismic forces.
If this is optional standby, then there should not be a code requirement.
Another section requires wall mounted equipment over a certain weight to be braced.
These are the only two requirements I have been able to find. Including NO requirement for bracing of chain hung luminaires.
I think a lot of this seismic bracing "requirements" is a bluff or "just a good idea" type of requirement.
I don't have specific code sections at hand. I will try and get something later.
