Marijuana Facility Guidance

Information contained within the Marijuana Facility Guidance document is provided to assist members of the Fire Marshals Association of Colorado (FMAC) and the marijuana industry with applicable code requirements and best practices as the code relates to cultivation, extraction processes, and the businesses related to medical and recreational marijuana. This document was developed by a task group who reviewed the applicable requirements in the 2015 International Fire Code (IFC) as well as other applicable codes and standards that apply to the marijuana industry. Because every process and building differs, and every jurisdiction operates differently, this document is not intended to identify or discuss every code and standard requirement.
