NFPA 10 standards apply to which of the following?

NFPA 10 focuses on portable fire extinguishers. It lays out how to select the right extinguisher for different fire classes, where and how they should be mounted and labeled, and the requirements for inspection, maintenance, and testing by a qualified person. This makes NFPA 10 the go-to standard for anything related to portable extinguishers. The other choices involve different fire protection systems and are covered by other NFPA documents—alarm and detection systems by NFPA 72, fixed fire suppression systems by standards like NFPA 12 or 2001, and sprinkler systems by NFPA 13 (design/installation) and NFPA 25 (inspection/testing).
