NFPA 1071-2020 PDF Download

NFPA 1071-2020 is a standard developed to ensure that emergency vehicle technicians (EVTs) are qualified and equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to protect people and property. The standard establishes three levels of EVT qualifications: EVT I, EVT II, and EVT III. Each level has specific job performance requirements (JPRs) for individuals responsible for inspecting, maintaining, repairing, or testing emergency response vehicles.

This revised edition of NFPA 1071 incorporates relevant information on EVT qualifications and aligns with the most recent version of NFPA 1901, which focuses on automotive fire apparatus. The standard provides clear guidelines and delineates professional requirements based on the EVT levels. Notable changes in the 2020 edition include the incorporation of requirements from NFPA 1911, which relates to the inspection, maintenance, testing, and retirement of in-service emergency vehicles. Additionally, Annex D has been revised to include the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation's "16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives."
