What is NFPA?

NFPA stands for the National Fire Protection Association. It is a global self-funded nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating death, injury, property, and economic loss due to fire, electrical, and related hazards. NFPA develops and publishes more than 300 consensus codes and standards intended to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and other risks. These codes and standards are widely used in the design, construction, and operation of buildings and facilities, as well as in the manufacturing and use of various products and equipment. They are often adopted by governments and regulatory bodies at the local, state, national, and international levels to ensure a minimum level of safety.
