NFPA Codes, Standards, Training for Water Based Fire Protection Systems

NFPA's Senior Fire Protection Engineer Matt Klaus discusses NFPA's water based systems standards such as NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, NFPA 13D and NFPA 25.

NFPA is a standards development organization and who prepares the standards that are used across the country and internationally for the design, installation and acceptance testing of water based fire protection systems. This would include sprinkler systems, standpipe systems, fire pumps and we also have a standard NFPA 25 that tells you how to inspect, test and maintain all of those different types of systems.
