The 2012 edition of NFPA 101: Life Safety Code® (LSC) is only 18 months old, and already the NFPA has issued changes to its new standard.
A Tentative Interim Amendment (or TIA as NFPA refers to them) is an amendment to one of the current or previous codes or standards, and if approved will automatically become a proposal for the next edition of the document. The process for a TIA to become accepted includes gaining approval from the appropriate technical committee, the correlating committee for that document, and finally approval from the Standards Council.
This brief was excerpted from the February issue of Healthcare Life Safety Compliance.
