Fire Code [1]

Regulations developed by specialists in the fire-safety field and adopted by state and local fire officials. When adopted by a local jurisdiction, these codes become enforceable law.

With respect to petroleum marketing operations, the principal U.S. fire codes are NFPA 30 [2] and NFPA 30A [3], prepared by the National Fire Protection Association [4] and the International Fire Code (IFC), published by the International Code Council (ICC).

Fire codes developed by Building Officials and Code Administrators [5] International and by the Southern Building Code Congress International also, on occasion, have an impact on petroleum marketing operations.
