To help ensure health care professionals can treat patients in a safe and efficient environment, it’s critical to help protect their facilities from fire, electrical, and related hazards. NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities Code, offers the latest performance criteria for health care facilities and appliances, including medical gas and vacuum systems, electrical systems, gas equipment, and features of fire protection.

The code features provisions for the installation, inspection, maintenance, and testing of all health care facilities—including hospitals, nursing homes, and limited care settings.
