| Abstract | The NFC sets out fire protection requirements for the safe use and maintenance of buildings. It also applies to the conduct of activities that might cause fire hazards in and around buildings, fire safety at construction and demolition sites, the establishment of fire safety plans, and limitations on hazardous contents in and around buildings. The 2025 edition of the NFC includes the following updates:
- Expansion of the objective of protecting adjacent buildings or facilities from fire to apply to large farm buildings
- Removal of the application limits placed on the reference to CSA B139 Series:24, “Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment,” so the standard can be referenced for all tank sizes within its scope
- Clarification of the maximum quantities of dangerous goods that are permitted for use in laboratories, including the addition of limits for compressed gases
- Introduction of additional measures to reduce the risk of fire spread in encapsulated mass timber buildings during construction, while permitting increased exposure of mass timber elements in certain conditions |
