NFPA 101
NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, 2021 edition, is a must-have for architects, engineers, building owners and managers, hospital administrators, authorities having jurisdiction, and anyone who plays a role in fire and life safety.

The NFPA has few codes; most of its documents are standards. See the full list of NFPA codes and standards. The NFPA traces its very origin to the need for a standard. In the late 19th century, automatic sprinkler systems came into use as an effective way to put out fires.

NFPA® and ICC® codes reference various organizations’ standards within their requirements, and, once the code is implemented by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), these referenced standards are a legally enforceable part of the code.

While regulations in Canada’s model codes take precedence, NFPA expands on Canadian requirements. NFPA rules have long incorporated the metric system of measurement used in Canada and most other parts of the world, making international usage effortless.
