NFPA 101B, Code for Means of Egress for Buildings and Structures, shall be known as the Means of Egress Code, is cited as such, and shall be referred to herein as "this Code" or "the Code." 1.1.2* Danger to Life from Fire. This Code addresses those egress features necessary to minimize danger to life from fire and smoke, crowd pressures, and movement of individuals and groups.

1.1.3 Egress Facilities. The Code establishes minimum criteria for the design of egress facilities in order to permit prompt escape of occupants from buildings or, where desirable, into safe areas within buildings. 1.1.4 Areas Not Addressed. The Code does not attempt to address the following

(1) General fire prevention or building construction features that are normally a function of fire prevention codes and building codes

(2) Prevention of personal injuries incurred by an individual's own negligence

(3) Preservation of property from loss by fire

NFPA 101B presents egress provisions for use as part of a building code and not as a stand-alone document.

Ensure there's a safe way out of every structure!

The 2002 edition of NFPA 101B has been updated to reflect the egress requirements of the 2000 edition ofNFPA 101® Life Safety Code®.

NFPA® offers this document as a comprehensive substitute for the means of egress chapters of other organizations' building codes. The contents of NFPA 101B reflect the up-to-date expertise of the requirements of NFPA 101 along with the legitimacy imparted by the NFPA consensus codes development process.
