NFPA Journal - Fall 2023 - 23

" This year, we were done by 1:15 p.m.,
which is the shortest tech meeting
in my career by a longshot. This one
was pretty low-key. "
in this year's batch-both had a light slate of CAMs,
with just nine between them. One CAM related to
NFPA 101 passed.
The Technical Meeting is an important, but not
final, step in the code-development process. CAMs
that failed can be appealed to the NFPA Standards
Council, which will meet in August in Quincy, Massachusetts,
to hear any appeals and render a final
decision. Once that's complete, the Standards Council
will vote on whether to approve and issue each of
the 2024 NFPA documents. A successful vote means
the new editions are official and will be published,
generally by the fall.
In accordance with NFPA regulations, standards
with successful CAMs at this year's tech meeting
may still require the technical committee's vote of
approval, and those decisions can also be appealed.
Once the final ballot results are posted, notice of
deadlines for filing appeals can be found on each
standard's document info pages.
