Construction and Maintenance
All AFP systems are required to be installed and maintained in accordance with strict guidelines in order to maintain compliance with the local building code and the fire code.

Code authorities can encourage compliance through open communications, such as an invitation for code questions or an invitation to participate or an explanation of the code development process
AFP works alongside modern architectural designs and construction materials and fire safety education to prevent, retard, and suppress structural fires.
