nothing there that states they can certify anything to NFPA.

thanks anyway.

need to find an entity similar to UL.

 

[cdafd]

you might call them, there are other testing ctrieria in nfpa 1983 that references other standards, and they may test to that criteria


do you work for a fire department or other sgency, it would help to know to maybe direct you to what you are looking for?????

 

[eyec]

no, i have a client that is wanting to have a product certified to comply with NFPA 1983

 

[cdafd]

I would call the above links and see what they tell you.

Once again if you look in nfpa 1983 it has other standards (non-nfpa) that the item has to be tested to. like meeting an astm

do you have a copy of 1983??

one section example:::::::::::::::

General-use life safety rope shall have a diameter 12.5 mm (1/2 in.) or greater and not more than 16 mm (5/8 in.) when tested in accordance with Section 9.1 of Cordage Institute Standard CI 1801, Low Stretch and Static Kernmantle Life Safety Rope. For the purpose of reporting, the calculated diameter of all new life safety rope shall be rounded to the nearest 0.5 mm (1/64 in.).




"""""""in accordance with Section 9.1 of Cordage Institute Standard CI 1801""""""""""""""

i will make some calls. thanks for the input.
i know the standards (including ISO) but in order to certify the product the certifying agency must also be certified to certain standards in order to accomplish certification.
