Which organization publishes the standards referenced in these materials?

Which organization publishes the standards referenced in these materials?

• A. NFPA
• B. OSHA
• C. ANSI
• D. EPA

Answer: (A)

Standards in fire protection and related hazard materials are typically published by a standards-developing organization that specializes in safety codes. The National Fire Protection Association produces the widely used fire protection and life-safety standards that guide design, installation, inspection, and maintenance of systems and equipment. OSHA is a regulatory agency that enforces safety rules, not the publisher of technical standards. ANSI helps coordinate and accredit standards development but doesn’t publish the specific fire protection standards; EPA focuses on environmental regulations. So the organization that publishes the standards referenced in these materials is NFPA.
