The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is the leading global advocate for the elimination of death, injury, property and economic loss due to fire, electrical and related hazards. A non-profit founded in 1896, NFPA delivers information and knowledge through more than 300 consensus codes and standards, research, training, education, outreach and advocacy. The organization’s code-development process has earned accreditation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). NFPA’s annual Conference & Expo (C&E) is regarded as the most comprehensive industry event for architects, engineers, contractors, and building managers as well as public and private fire service, enforcement agencies, insurers, and utilities.
