NFPA 10 applies to Class K extinguishers for what aspects?

• A. Selection, inspection, maintenance, and use
• B. Design of building fire suppression systems
• C. Emergency medical response protocols
• D. Recordkeeping for fire drills

Answer: (A)

NFPA 10 governs portable fire extinguishers, detailing how they should be selected for different hazards, installed, inspected (typically monthly), maintained and serviced, and properly used in fire emergencies. This scope covers the kinds of checks, upkeep, and practical use that keep extinguishers ready to function in a kitchen environment with Class K fires, among others. The topics of designing building fire suppression systems, emergency medical response protocols, and recordkeeping for fire drills are handled by other standards or guidelines, not NFPA 10. So the option describing selection, inspection, maintenance, and use matches what NFPA 10 covers.
