National Fire Code: 2023 Alberta Edition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The National Fire Code: 2023 Alberta Edition (NFC(AE)) is based on the National Fire Code of Canada 2020. It establishes fire protection requirements for the safe use and maintenance of buildings, including references to design and construction requirements in the National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition. It also applies to the conduct of activities that might cause fire hazards in and around buildings, fire safety at construction sites, the establishment of fire safety plans, and the design, construction and use of storage tanks for flammable and combustible liquids. The 2023 edition of the NFC(AE) is more harmonized with the national code provisions than the previous edition to support a reduction of barriers to trade, investment and labour. Highlights of updates to this edition Fire safety plan requirements are consolidated to facilitate compliance and enforcement. Classifications are established for 5 widely used water-miscible liquid mixtures to ensure that appropriate fire safety measures are applied in their storage, handling, use and processing. Measures are included to address fire safety during the construction of encapsulated mass timber buildings. New requirements for the storage of medical oxygen in residential buildings and health care facilities are added to Division C. Prohibited items, such as sky lanterns and barred or locked exit doors, are clarified. Expanded qualification requirements are added to Division C, and language from STANDATA 19-FCI-008 is included in an explanatory note. Several Alberta-specific variations are moved to Division A or C from Division B, including the following: Requirements for hose for firefighting are now located in Division C. Fire department building access (key box) requirements are now located in Division C. Part 4 exclusions are now located in Division A, and their wording is expanded to improve clarity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
