Canadian National Fire Code 2015

Full Description

The National Fire Code (NFC) sets out technical provisions regulating
• activitiesrelatedtotheconstruction,useordemolitionofbuildingsandfacilities
• theconditionofspecificelementsofbuildingsandfacilities
• thedesignorconstructionofspecificelementsoffacilitiesrelatedtocertainhazards • protectionmeasuresforthecurrentorintendeduseofbuildings
The NFC establishes requirements to address the following three objectives, which are fully described in Division A of the Code:
• safety
• health
• fire protection of buildings and facilities
Code provisions do not necessarily address all the characteristics of buildings and facilities that might be considered to have a bearing on the Code’s objectives. Through the extensive consensus process used to develop and maintain Codes Canada (see the section entitled Development of Codes Canada), the code-user community has decided which characteristics should be regulated through the NFC.
