accomplished its mission by advocating
scientifically based consensus codes

National Fire Codes, which holds over
270 documents, are administered by
more than 225 Technical Committees

volunteers and are adopted and used
throughout the world. NFPA is a
nonprofit membership organization
with approximately 80,000 members
from over 70 nations, all working
together to fulfill the Association’s

standards. All NFPA codes and
standards are revised and updated every
three to five years in Revision Cycles
that begin twice each year and that takes
approximately two years to complete.
Each Revision Cycle proceeds according
to a published schedule that includes
final dates for all major events in the
process. The process contains five basic

developing new documents as well as
revising existing documents. These
steps are: Calling for Proposals;

incorporation by reference of these
standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1
CFR Part 51.
Interested persons may participate in
these revisions by submitting written
data, views, or arguments to Milosh
