Temporary changes to NFPA documents before official updates are called what?

• A. Errata
• B. Document Updates
• C. NFPA Publications
• D. Tentative Interim Amendments

Answer: (D)

Temporary changes to NFPA standards before the next official edition are called Tentative Interim Amendments. These are issued to address urgent safety or applicability issues that can’t wait for the next edition. A TIA is approved by the NFPA Standards Council and takes effect upon publication, remaining in force until the next edition is published and the change is incorporated. This is different from errata, which only fix drafting errors without changing requirements; from broader document updates that update standards between editions; or from the general NFPA Publications collection, which is simply the body of NFPA documents.
