    A code is a set of enforceable rules adopted by a government or authority having jurisdiction. Once adopted, codes are legally binding and must be followed, with compliance enforced through inspections and penalties. Examples include fire codes or building codes.

    A standard provides detailed technical guidelines, best practices, or performance criteria developed by professional organizations (such as NFPA). Standards are not legally enforceable on their own unless they are referenced or adopted within a code, regulation, or contract.

    In fire prevention, codes say what must be done, while standards explain how to do it safely and effectively.
