This NFPA Policy Manual has been prepared as a reference of all policy decided by delegates throughout the history of NFPA. This Manual is not for distribution outside of NFPA's member associations.
The NFPA Policy Manual includes full-text policy resolutions (arranged topically), with references (where available) to sponsoring association(s), vote tally, and status. In many instances, past Policy Meeting minutes do not include vote tallies, identification of sponsoring association(s), and attachments specified within the text of the resolution. Additionally, it was necessary to include the "whereas" paragraphs with some resolutions to assist in understanding of the intent which may not be clear without this background information.
As NFPA policy is continually changing, this Policy Manual will be revised each year, following the Mid-Year Policy Meeting.
