NFPA Code Seminars
Many Architects and Engineers in the region are engaging in new overseas projects, particularly in Asean countries where the Authorities are adopting NFPA Standards as the local Fire Standards. Compliance with NFPA Standards is also made mandatory by MNC Clients and their Insurers for significant projects in Singapore and regional countries.
