Fire protection news

The fire protection sector

New Zealand experiences thousands of unwanted fires every year. They cause varying amounts of damage, injury, or even loss of life. Through partnership with industry organisations, such as the Fire Protection Association New Zealand and the New Zealand Fire Service, Standards New Zealand aims to incorporate the latest research to develop the most efficient and effective fire protection standards.

It is still possible for a withdrawn standard or publication to be purchased and used.
