  2. Fire and life safety Electrical systems and equipment
  3. Chemical and hazardous materials
  4. Building materials and construction products
  5. Consumer and industrial technologies

Relevance to standards may take many forms, including testing, inspection, certification, advisory services, or embedded safety requirements within a product or solution.

Types of Solutions We Support

We are particularly interested in companies delivering measurable safety impact through solutions that are:

  1. Digitally delivered, including software platforms and data‑driven compliance tools
  2. Field‑ or lab‑based, such as inspection, testing, or certification services
  3. Expert‑driven, where qualified professionals evaluate products, systems, or processes against defined specifications or standards

These offerings play a critical role in helping stakeholders demonstrate compliance, manage risk, and improve safety outcomes.

Our goal is to build lasting partnerships with management teams who are involved and want to grow their business and extend their impact. NFPA Global Solutions provides a platform for scale, investment, and collaboration, while preserving the identity, expertise, and leadership that made each business successful.
