For boats under 300 gross tons, NFPA 302, Fire Protection Standard for Pleasure and Commercial Motor Craft, serves as a reference for adhering to the most recent fire and life safety regulations in order to lower the danger of property and human casualties from flames, explosions, and carbon monoxide (CO). New and updated definitions and regulations on a number of subjects pertaining to electrical systems, fuel systems, and safety devices including carbon monoxide detectors are included in the 2020 edition. The criteria for fuel systems, electrical systems and equipment, carbon monoxide detection equipment, fire extinguishers, and fire protection equipment for towing vessels under 300 gross tons have all been revised in this most recent edition.
