NFPA's Building Code Technical Correlating Committee has voted to release the draft of NFPA 5000, the first building code to be developed using the ANSI open consensus process. All interested parties may review and provide input to the draft code via the Internet at www.buildingcode.nfpa.org or by contacting NFPA's Codes and Standards Administration Office at 617/984-7246.
Publication of the draft code presents the first opportunity for interested parties to provide input on and participate in the development of NFPA 5000. When finalized, the NFPA Building Code will round out NFPA's Consensus Codes - a full set of codes for the built environment.
