Content taken from other NFPA documents is called?

• A. Informational sections
• B. Safety measures
• C. Mandatory sections
• D. Extracted text

Answer: (D)

Content taken from other NFPA documents is called extracted text. This label shows that the material is reproduced from another standard rather than being written anew for this one, signaling its origin and intent to the reader. It helps you know where the wording comes from and to reference the source standard if you need the most current language or wider context. Informational sections are commentary and do not carry requirements, safety measures describe precautions, and mandatory sections contain requirements that must be followed. The term extracted text specifically identifies borrowed material, while still carrying the same enforceable implications if the originating language includes requirements.
