Transition Period
FDA recognition of NFPA 99:2021 [Rec# 1-153] will be superseded by recognition of NFPA 99:2024 [Rec# 1-180]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 1-153] until December 26, 2026. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 1-153] will not be accepted. |
