NFPA 10 is the standard for which of the following?

The focus is on the scope of NFPA 10: portable fire extinguishers. NFPA 10 is the standard that defines how portable extinguishers are selected, installed, maintained, and tested so they perform when needed. It covers what types of extinguishers are appropriate for different fire hazards, how they should be labeled and placed for accessibility, and the inspection and maintenance intervals that keep them ready for use. This makes it the best answer because it specifically addresses portable extinguishers, rather than entire fire suppression systems or other topics. Fire suppression systems (like sprinklers and standpipes) are covered by other NFPA standards, industrial ventilation is addressed by standards related to air handling and control of smoke, and electrical safety aligns with the National Electrical Code rather than NFPA 10.
