Those changes have been approved by the Commissioner, and the new regulations went into effect on January 1, 2020. A copy is available on the Insurance Department's website. It has come to the Department's attention that there is a typographical error in two places in those portions of the regulations dealing with the Codes Reference Guide for Portable Fire Extinguishers and for Cooking Equipment. Those typographical errors will be corrected by an amendment to the regulation, but in the meantime this Bulletin is to provide notice to interested persons of the correct code reference for Portable Fire Extinguishers and for Cooking Equipment. Under Table 102.13, entitled Codes Reference Guide, and appearing at pages 7-8 and pages 46-47 of the regulations, the reference to applicable codes for Portable Fire Extinguishers and Cooking Equipment should be as follows: - Portable Fire Extinguishers - Primary Code - IFC; Supplemental Code - None; - Cooking Equipment - Primary Code - LSC & NFPA 96; Supplemental Code - None.
