WHO Is the nfpa?
• Organization date: 1896
The NFPA is a non-profit organization based in
US. The NFPA is known for developing and
publishing a wide range codes and standards
related to fire prevention.
• Purpose
To establish establish consensus-based
standards to promote safety, protect lives, and
reduce the risk of fire and other hazards in
various settings, including buildings, industries,
and public spaces.
Making of nfpa code and standards
Board of Directors
1. Setting the organization’s strategic goals,
approving budgets, ensuring NFPA’s mission
is upheld and overseeing organization’s
financial health
2. Appoints 13-person Standards Council
Member of Standard Council
3. Project Approval
4. Technical Committee Appointments
5. Oversight
6. Review and Approval
7. Appeals
8. Consistency
9. Public Input and Comment
10. Publication
STANDARD
COUNCIL
• More than 250
code making
panels and
Technical
Comittees
• Primary
consensus
bodies
The Codes and standards
development process
STEP 1. Call for Proposal
• Porposed new document or new edition of an existing
document is entered into one of two yearly revisions
cycles and a Call for Proposal is published.
STEP 2. Reports on Proposal (ROP)
• Committee or Panek meets to act on Proposals, to
develop its own Proposals, and to prepare its report
• Committee votes by written balot to approve its actions
on the Proposal. If approval is not obtained, the Report
returns to Committee
• If approved, the Report on Proposals(ROP) is published
for public review and comments.
The Codes and standards
development process
STEP 3. Reports on Comments (ROC)
• Committee or Panel meets to act on Public Comments,
to develop its own Comments, and to prepare its report
• Committee votes by written balot to approve its actions
on the Comments. If approval is not obtained, the
Report returns to Committee
• If approved, the Report on Proposals(ROP) is published
for public review.
●STEP 4. Association Technical Meeting
• Technical Committees consist of experts in the relevant
field and are responsible for drafting and revising
standards.
• Committee members follow a consensus-based
approach, considering input from all stakeholders.
The Codes and standards
development process
STEP 5. Council Appeals & Issuance of Document
• Notification of intent to file an appeal to the Standards
Council on Association action must be filed within 20
days of the Association Technical Meeting
• Standards Council decides, based on al evidence,
whether or not to issue the Document or to take other
action
