Index

Division A includes compliance options and information on new elements called objectives and functional statements. Objectives describe the overall goals that a particular Code's provisions are intended to achieve. Functional statements describe the functions that a building or its components must perform to fulfill the objectives. At least one objective and one functional statement are linked to each technical requirement to help users better understand the reason why a particular requirement must be met and to help them evaluate alternative solutions.

In Division B, Code users can find the "acceptable solutions," which consist of the Code provisions updated with technical changes.

Finally, Division C contains administrative provisions, which have all been consolidated into this one place.

Under Canada's Constitution Act, regulation of fire safety is the responsibility of provincial and territorial governments. The NFC is in the form of a model code to permit adoption by the appropriate authority. Most provinces and territories adopt or adapt the model NFC and enforce its requirements.

The National Fire Code of Canada is available in two practical formats:

A binder version that lies flat for easy reference easily accommodates updates.
A soft-cover version that contains the same information as the binder, at about half the weight. This format is ideal for the job site.
