NFPA 1402-2019 PDF Download

The NFPA 1402-2019 standard has recently been revised from a guide to a standard. This standard provides essential requirements for the design and construction of various components of fire training centers. The standard covers administration and support facilities, site and infrastructure, live fire training structures (including training towers), technical rescue training facilities, facilities for inside and outside simulations, technical rescue training props, hazardous materials training props, and combustible and flammable liquids used in both interior and exterior activities.

The 2019 edition of NFPA 1402 introduces mandatory language to facilitate its use and enforcement by states and jurisdictions. It includes revised requirements that reflect general technological and industry updates. Additionally, the standard now includes two new chapters on gas-fueled live fire training systems for exterior and interior use, a new chapter on requirements for technical rescue training facilities, and a new chapter on fire investigation training structures, props, burn cells, and sets. Two annexes are included, offering guidance on the design and construction of fire service training centers as well as administrative and classroom buildings.
