A large transformation will take place in late 2024 when the NFPA combines the standards for clothing (NFPA 1971), work uniforms (NFPA 1975), SCBA (NFPA 1981) and PASS devices (NFPA 1982) into a new consolidated standard, NFPA 1970.

In this MSA-sponsored webinar, firefighter experts Jeff Stull and Battalion Chief Matthew Cox discuss the upcoming standard and changes fire departments will encounter, as well as how they may affect purchase decisions. The discussion includes how the NFPA process works to address firefighter protection needs, the significant changes that will be applied in NFPA 1971 and NFPA 1981, and overall implications for the new standards for the fire service.
