At Essential Hood Cleaning Professionals, we understand the importance of keeping your commercial kitchen exhaust hood system & major kitchen appliances clean, operational, and within National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 96, & Health Department standards.
What is NFPA 96?
Fire Code NFPA 96
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is the governing body providing the minimum codes of standards for the kitchen exhaust cleaning industry via the NFPA 96: Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations.
NFPA 96 reflects industry best practices that maximize protection of operators, building occupants, and property for reducing fire risks in public and private commercial kitchens.
The 2011 NFPA 96 is the current code providing clarification on requirements for certifying technicians to ensure that equipment is maintained by qualified providers. Today more than ever exhaust hood cleaners require quality methods for maintaining grease-free exhaust systems to keep facilities protected from grease fires.
