Course Description
Although NFPA 4 has been around since first being published in 2015, the purpose, scope and application of NFPA 4 still causes confusion. Whether you are a contractor, an owner, or an AHJ, testing in accordance with NFPA 4 impacts everyone... but only when it is required. In this presentation we will discuss the history of NFPA 4, review its purpose and scope, and attempt to address some of the misconceptions surrounding integrated testing. In addition, participants will be given a brief look at what users can expect to see in the upcoming new (2024) edition.
