Montgomery, AL – The state of Alabama has recently adopted the majority of safety documents published in the latest edition of the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) National Fire Codes. As a result of the adoption, NFPA 1, Uniform Fire Code(tm) (NFPA 1, UFC), and NFPA 101, Life Safety Code(r) will be used to protect people and property all across the state of Alabama.
By adopting the 2003 edition of the NFPA 1, UFC, and the Life Safety Code, Alabama has implemented codes that are designed to ensure the highest degree of public safety from hazards caused by fire and explosion. They address basic fire prevention requirements and reference or extract the fire prevention and protection aspects of many other NFPA codes and standards.
Currently used in every U.S. state and adopted statewide in 35 states, NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, addresses minimum building design, construction, operation, and maintenance requirements necessary to protect building occupants from danger caused by fire, smoke, and toxic fumes. NFPA 101 is the most comprehensive code addressing safety to life from fire and similar emergencies in both new and existing buildings. The Life Safety Code can be used in conjunction with a building code or alone in jurisdictions that do not have a building code in place.
NFPA 1, UFC integrates the two most widely adopted fire codes in the country – NFPA 1, Fire Prevention Code and the Uniform Fire Code.
NFPA 1，UFC和NFPA 101，生命安全法规是综合共识代码（C3）集的元素，这是通过美国国家标准研究所（ANSI）认可的过程开发的第一组与施工相关的代码。C3组还包括由国际管道和机械官员协会开发的统一管道法规（TM）和统一的机械法规（TM）。NFPA促进了300多个建筑物，火灾，电气和生命安全法规和标准的开发。超过6500名志愿者在NFPA技术委员会任职，编写NFPA模型代码，标准和推荐做法。
