NRMCA Represents Concrete Industry at Fire Protection Meeting

NRMCA participated in the 2025 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Technical Meeting in Las Vegas on June 19. The meeting served as the culmination of the NFPA code development cycle for the Fall 2024 and Annual 2025 revision cycles and included in-person debate and consideration of certified amending motions for standards presented.

NRMCA Senior Vice President, Codes and Standards, Shamim Rashid-Sumar is a Principal voting member of several NFPA technical committees, including but not limited to those on Building Construction, Fire Protection Features, Residential Occupancies, Structures, Construction and Materials, Construction and Demolition, and Wildland Fire Protection. The technical committees oversee development of NFPA 101, 220, 221, 241, 703, 1140 and 5000.

NFPA technical committees and panels serve as the principal consensus bodies responsible for developing and updating all NFPA codes and standards. However, the NFPA standards development process encourages public participation; interested parties can view more on the NFPA standards development process.
