About free access
Does NFPA provide free access to its codes and standards?
Yes. Even though NFPA owns those copyrights, we have offered free access to all of our codes and standards on our web site for more than 10 years.
Can the codes and standards be downloaded or printed?
This is a read-only site—documents cannot be downloaded or printed, because we rely on the revenues from people who want to own their own copies to fund the mission of NFPA. But for users who need to familiarize themselves with a code or check a requirement, this kind of access is invaluable.
