I am a long-time member of NFPA 13 and 25 committees and also an instructor for NFPA so I am very familiar with their processes and direction.
I know you are a long way from the USA, but membership in our organization is inexpensive and gives you access to our technical services department for support. We sit on over 30 standards and have 5 FPE’s on staff. Many of our training programs are available remotely as well. If you visit our website: www.firesprinkler.org you may find our association useful as well.

The overwhelming input from our stakeholders has been for digital offerings versus simply a code or a static version of a code. NFPA has looked extensively at various formats and determined that not only is a PDF not a true digital offering, but the PDF format also lacks sufficient security and copyright protection and cannot be updated with new information in an effective manner. As part of our transition to a new digital way to deliver information, NFPA will no longer offer access to PDFs for new editions of codes and standards, including new titles available through the National Fire Codes® Subscription Service (NFCSS™) effective with the 2020 releases. Titles previously published in PDF format will remain in-market and will be available in the digital access version of NFCSS. We now offer a service with both online and offline access to NFPA codes/standards, NFPA LiNK®.NFPA LiNK® delivers information beyond just the text of codes and standards; it offers context and insights, as well as features that our stakeholders find useful, including the ability to search, bookmark, add notes, and collaborate. Please see nfpa.org/link <https://nfpa.org/link> to learn more. We offer a 14 day free trial that I encourage you to take advantage of.You can also see the Evolution of Information Delivery <https://www.nfpa.org/formatoptions> section of our website for more details on this transition.Have a safe day.Sincerely,NFPA Customer Support* Regards, Le Vu Phong Mobile: +84 (0) 902 363 525 *From:* Bob Caputo <bcap...@firesprinkler.org> *Sent:* Tuesday, March 7, 2023 8:24 PM *To:* Discussion list on issues relating to automatic fire sprinklers < sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org> *Subject:* [Sprinklerforum] Re: - NFPA13:2022 pdf version Actually, NFPA LINK will provide you with access to every NFPA standard, both on line and you can download individual codes or standards to your device for use off line. These versions include commentary from the handbooks in many cases and are searchable. Once you get used to it, its better than having pdf’s and they offer a free trial to try it before you buy it. LINK is the alternative to pdf’s and hard copies.
