NFPA 806: Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Electric Generating Plants Change Process

NFPA 806, referred to as the Standard for Performance-Based Fire Protection Design for Commercial and Industrial Cookeries, specifies the criteria for the design and installation of fire protection systems in commercial cooking environments. Established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), this standard offers a framework for performance-based design, which promotes greater flexibility and innovation in the development of fire protection systems while prioritizing the safety of occupants and the safeguarding of property. The standard encompasses various elements of fire protection in commercial cooking, including cooking appliances, exhaust systems, and fire suppression mechanisms. It outlines the criteria for assessing fire hazards, choosing appropriate fire suppression systems, and designing systems aimed at reducing the risk of fire incidents. NFPA 806 applies to commercial cooking operations such as restaurants, food courts, catering services, and similar venues.
