Which NFPA standard governs these guidelines?

• A. NFPA 1123
• B. NFPA 1122
• C. NFPA 1087
• D. NFPA 130

Answer: (A)

Guidelines for fireworks displays are governed by the NFPA standard that specifically addresses how a display should be planned and carried out. This standard, Code for Fireworks Display, sets the safety requirements for display planning, site and crowd management, safe handling and placement of devices, weather considerations, and the qualifications of personnel involved. It directly covers the operational aspects of conducting a fireworks show, which is why it is the best fit for guidelines about displays. The other standards cover different areas: one focuses on the general use of pyrotechnic devices (not display-specific), another on training and certification of operators, and another on rail transit systems, which is unrelated to fireworks.
