Publication summary of NFC editions and related documents

The first National Fire Code (NFC) was published in 1963. Subsequent editions were published in 1975, 1977, 1980, 1985, 1990 and 1995.

Note that the NFC is a model code that has no legal status until adopted by a province, territory or municipal government. There is often a gap of several years between the publication of the model code and its adoption, at which time the government authority may put a different date on the cover of its code. For example, the Alberta Fire Code 1997 is based on the NFC 1995.
