Which NFPA standard addresses fire prevention systems?

The NFPA 1, also known as the "Fire Code," is the standard that specifically addresses fire prevention systems. This code provides comprehensive provisions for fire prevention measures, which include regulations for the installation and maintenance of fire protection systems such as sprinklers, alarms, and other life safety features. The goal of NFPA 1 is to establish minimum requirements for fire safety, ensuring that facilities minimize the risk of fire and its potential impacts. This includes guidelines for both existing and new buildings, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures to prevent fire incidents.

Other standards have different scopes: NFPA 70 deals with electrical safety in the workplace, NFPA 25 focuses on the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems, and NFPA 101 is about life safety from fire in buildings and structures. While these are all critical to fire safety, they do not primarily focus on fire prevention systems like NFPA 1 does.
