NFPA What Changed from 2021 to 2024

1. Mobile and Temporary Cooking Operations Expanded

• The 2021 edition moved content on mobile/temporary cooking operations (formerly in Annex B) into the body of the standard as a full chapter, reducing duplication and adding clarity. The 2024 edition further expands and refines this chapter. It includes updated requirements for liquefied petroleum gas (LP‑gas), aligning with the new mobile food facilities chapter in NFPA 58 Denver Fire Protection+10NFP Anorm+10naksinc.com+10.

2. Enhanced Inspection, Testing, Maintenance & Cleanliness Requirements

• The 2024 edition expands and clarifies responsibilities regarding the inspection, testing, maintenance, and cleanliness of commercial cooking operations. These requirements are more thoroughly defined than in the 2021 version NFP Anorm+1.

3. Label Use, Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance Updated

• The 2024 version revises the requirements related to the use, inspection, testing, and maintenance of labels, aiming for clearer and more effective labeling protocols compared to the previous edition NFP Anorm+1.

4. Removal and Refinement of Terminology

• In the 2021 edition, the term "activate" was replaced with "actuate" for accuracy. That terminology persists in the 2024 edition, though the latter version builds upon the structural changes mentioned above NFP Anorm.

5. Other Updates Highlighted

• A buildingcodes blog notes that the 2024 edition of NFPA 96 now addresses grease, oil deposits, creosote, and related residue removal explicitly—potentially clarifying and broadening the scope over prior versionswww2.buildingreports.com.
