Title 19 & NFPA 25: It was reported that the implementation of the NFPA 25 California version is coming as news to many C-16 contractors and AHJ’s. It was suggested that a letter from the SFM to all AHJ’s would be helpful in clarifying the new Title 19 rules. It was further suggested that the CSLB notify all C-16 contractors of the changes. There was also discussion on the need for an AHJ e-mail contact list where completed NFPA 25 forms can be electronically submitted.
