Additionally, the AHJ has the discretion to allow a newer version of code to be used in their jurisdiction. Therefore, in most of the following examples, we cover the newest version of the code or standard.HOWEVER, we recognize that:%u2022 The newest version of code is not always available for every jurisdiction or project,%u2022 The NICET certification program was initially formulated based on NFPA 1221 2019 and IFC 2018.THEREFORE, where there are significant differences between older and newer code versions, we will discuss both.
