fire safety systems and measures; fire emergency planning and the establishment
of a fire safety plan; and retrofit of certain building features to the
standards required for new buildings. When applied, the NFC also limits the

All requirements in the 2005 NFC are linked to one or more of the following three top-level objectives:
