The 2022 edition of NFPA 1225, Standard for Emergency Services Communications, combines and updates the content of NFPA 1061 and NFPA 1221 to provide a clearer, unified resource for public safety telecommunications. This first edition outlines every emergency communications role, defining job performance requirements and responsibilities while supporting professional competency and development. It also guides emergency service organizations and designers in creating reliable communication centers and radio enhancement systems. Key updates include new job tasks related to identifying employee distress, revised radio communication requirements, strengthened reliability provisions, recognition of internet communication pathways, a reorganized chapter for in-building communication enhancement systems, and refined definitions, permitting, survivability, and system acceptance criteria.
