The benchmark for safe electrical design, installation, and inspection is NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), to protect people and property from electrical hazards.

The industry benchmark for automatic fire sprinkler systems design and implementation, NFPA 13 discusses approaches to sprinkler system design, system implementation, and component choices to avoid fire deaths and loss of property.

In order to ensure that portable fire extinguishers function as designed to provide the first line of protection against fires of limited duration, NFPA 10 offers specifications.

NFPA 2001 standard defines specifications for clean agent fire extinguishing systems for complete flooding and local implementation. It is intended for use by those who buy, develop, install, evaluate, inspect, authorize, operate, and maintain fire suppression systems for engineered or pre-engineered gaseous agents so that they work as needed as intended.
