National Fire and Electrical Codes Reminder

Occasionally customers will ask for either the National Electric Code or the NFPA 1 Uniform Fire Code, both of which are located in Reference.  However, in the event that the item being requested is in use or otherwise shelved incorrectly and cannot be found, customers have the choice of viewing the codes online at NFPA's site.

According to the site:

As part of its commitment to enhancing public safety through the adoption and enforcement of key ANSI codes and standards, NFPA is making all of its codes and standards available for review online by the public.

"On-demand review of NFPA's consensus documents conveniently places important safety information on the desktops of traditional users as well as others who have a keen interest," said NFPA President James M. Shannon. "NFPA is committed to serving the public's increasing interest in technical information, and online access to these key codes is a valuable resource."

To review NFPA's codes and standards online:

1. 
   
   Visit NFPA's Document Information
2. 
   
   Select the document you want to review.
3.
