Which NFPA standard pertains to commercial cooking equipment?

The NFPA standard that specifically pertains to commercial cooking equipment is NFPA 96. This standard addresses the design, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of equipment related to commercial cooking operations. It is essential for ensuring fire safety in kitchens, where grease-laden vapors and flammable materials are present, which can significantly increase the risk of fire. NFPA 96 outlines requirements for exhaust systems, fire suppression systems, and other safety measures that must be implemented in commercial kitchens to protect both the property and individuals working in or around these environments.

The other standards listed address different areas: NFPA 70 is focused on electrical wiring and safety, NFPA 101 pertains to life safety from fire in buildings and structures, and NFPA 113 deals with the installation of foam-water fire suppression systems. Each of these standards serves a vital purpose, but they do not specifically cover the requirements for commercial cooking equipment like NFPA 96 does.
