Support safe, knowledgeable, and effective Halon 1301 fire extinguishing system inspection, maintenance, and decommissioning. NFPA 12A, Standard on Halon 1301 Fire Extinguishing Systems, presents requirements for halogenated agent systems so equipment can function as intended throughout its service life. Primarily present in commercial, industrial, institutional, marine, and military installations, Halon 1301 (bromotrifluoromethane, or CBrF3) is a colorless, odorless, electrically nonconductive gas that is an inerting agent. Halon 1301 fire extinguishing systems require proper care for safety and effectiveness, and NFPA 12A is a critical resource for skilled workers. It covers system design, installation, testing, and more, including: Enclosure integrity procedures Hazards to personnel Storage containers Piping System flow calculations Approval of installations The 2025 edition of NFPA 12A includes new provisions for recycling Halon 1301.

Fire suppression systems and equipment play a critical role in reducing loss and protecting lives in the event of an emergency. NFPA 17A, Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems, provides requirements for designing, installing, operating, testing, and maintaining these systems through their life cycle. Provisions focus on helping to improve the integrity and reliability of equipment designed to discharge wet chemicals from fixed nozzles and piping by means of expellant gas. Content is relevant to systems utilized in restaurants and institutional hoods, plenums, ducts, and related cooking appliances, covering everything from components to plans and acceptance testing and inspection, maintenance, and recharging. Major revisions to the 2024 edition include: New Annex G detailing common deficiencies and impairments. Definitions of deficiency and impairment have also been added to clarify how users should differentiate between these two types of issues. Annex B has been deleted, because the information was incorporated into Chapter 6 in the prior (2021) edition.

Keep up to date with compliance on the latest requirements to help prevent fires and better ensure safer operation of fuel-burning appliances.

Help prevent fires and better protect people by referencing requirements for the design, installation, maintenance, and inspection of chimneys, fireplaces, venting systems, and other appliances that burn solid fuels. NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances, covers topics such as flue size, chimney height, clearance from combustible materials, and the use of proper materials to ensure the safety and proper operation of these systems.

This standard focuses on the safe removal of waste gases; the reduction of fire hazards associated with the construction and installation of chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems for residential, commercial, and industrial appliances; and the proper installation of solid fuel–burning appliances.

NFPA 24 establishes the minimum requirements for the design, installation, and maintenance of private fire service mains and associated components. These mains supply water to fire protection systems such as hydrants, sprinkler systems, and standpipes located on private property.
