Definitions & Glossary

The fire protection industry uses a lot of jargon, acronyms and abbreviations that may not be clear or easy to understand. So we built the world's largest (800+) and growing repository of fire industry terms, acronyms and definitions. Some of our definitions have been adopted into Standards and help define and shape our industry. We don’t claim to be the definitive answer on all fire safety terms that have adopted, just a team that genuinely wants to make life easier for our clients.
