NFPA 99 - Edition Adoption Date
Publish | January 01, 0001
What is the requirement for retroactive compliance with NFPA 99-1999?
Chapter 1 of NFPA 99 does not require retroactive compliance unless alteration has occurred or any of the organization's controlling authorities require retroactive compliance. The 1999 edition was adopted by The Joint Commission and CMS in 2003. There was no NFPA 99 edition prior to 1984. For the years between, use the edition required by the organization's controlling authority for health care construction. In order to be relieved of 1999 edition requirements, the organization must know the applicable requirements of construction for their facilities. [EC.02.05.01]
