1: Codes & Standards
Develop, publish, and disseminate consensus codes and standards intended to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and
other risks.
Other Information:
Safety is everybody's business -- Disasters can occur anywhere, and they often occur when we least expect them. NFPA codes
and standards are there to provide us with ways to prevent their occurrence, manage their impact, and protect us. One of the
most notable features about NFPA's standards development process is that it is a full, open, consensus-based process. "Full
consensus" means that anybody can participate and expect fair and equal treatment. This is because safety is everybody's business.
NFPA develops, publishes, and disseminates more than 300 consensus codes and standards intended to minimize the possibility
and effects of fire and other risks. Virtually every building, process, service, design, and installation in society today
is affected by NFPA documents.
