Document information

NFPA launches new Web pages to streamline access to technical document information

Chris Dubay   AUDIO
Chris Dubay, NFPA Vice President of Codes & Standards, talks about the new document information pages:
  Why make changes to the Code & Standards document information pages?
  How was the information organized and how has it changed?
  What are the next steps?
  How do the new document information pages fit into the review of NFPA's Codes & Standards process?
  NFPA's goal with the changes?

November 3, 2009: NFPA has made significant changes to the way it presents online information about its 300+ codes and standards. Based on results of a survey of its Technical Committees (the groups responsible for developing and revising NFPA documents), we are launching new "document information" pages where visitors can learn about all aspects of the revision cycle for any NFPA technical document.

See full list of NFPA documents; choose any document to see new page design.

The document information pages, already some of the most visited pages on NFPA's Web site, have been streamlined to provide one central location for document revision cycle and Technical Committee information, which will be displayed in three major tabbed-sections:

  • Document information
    Document scope, archived revision information on current and previous editions, and the ability to view ("read-only") and purchase current and previous editions
  • Next edition
    Information about the current revision cycle, Report on Proposals, Report on Comments, Notices of Intent to Make a Motion (NITMAMs)
  • Technical Committee
    Committee name and scope, NFPA staff liaison, list of committee members, information on how to apply to a committee

We've also added new search capabilities that will allow you to quickly and easily find the document you're looking for based on document range, number, or title. In the coming months, we'll be adding information about Technical Committee meeting notices, agendas, and minutes to our new document information pages.

We hope that these changes will make your search for information about NFPA's codes and standards more efficient. We welcome your feedback and suggestions.
