Criteria for power rescue tools are established in NFPA ___.

• A. NFPA 70
• B. NFPA 1936 Standard On Powered Rescue Tools
• C. NFPA 1951 Standard On Protective Clothing
• D. NFPA 1201

Answer: (B)

Standards for power rescue tools define the criteria used to evaluate and ensure safe, reliable operation of cutters, spreaders, and rams used in rescue work. NFPA 1936 Standard On Powered Rescue Tools sets the minimum performance, design, testing, labeling, and maintenance requirements for these tools, ensuring they perform under field conditions and keep responders safe. The other standards address different topics—electrical systems, protective clothing, or general fire service operations—not the tool-specific criteria. Therefore, the standard that establishes the criteria for power rescue tools is NFPA 1936.
