RVIA approved the 2021 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1192 RV Standard, as announced this past summer.
The standard will take effect Jan. 1, 2021, with July 1 as a mandatory enforcement date.
The RV standard’s 2021 edition is available for purchase in the RVIA online store, with a $54 member price and $58 non-member price per copy.
The NFPA 1192 RV Standard is published on a three-year cycle through NFPA’s formal code change proposal development and approval processes. Before publishing a new standard, the existing requirements are reviewed and updated for clarity and applicability by the NFPA Technical Committee. This includes representatives from the association, outside experts, state government officials and other interested parties.
The RVIA Standards Department produces a supporting handbook which expands upon the NFPA 1192 standard, as well as the corresponding National Electric Code (NEC) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Low Voltage standard. The handbook outlines the association’s enforcement positions with their own RV enforcement programs. An updated RVIA handbook will be available in the coming weeks.
