Jim Pauley announces NFPA LiNK 3.0 update during Intersec NFPA Day

NFPA LiNK 3.0 announced at Intersec Dubai 2026

NFPA LiNK 3.0 was announced at Intersec Dubai 2026 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 13 January 2026.

The update was confirmed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) following its participation in the event, where it hosted an NFPA Day programme for government and industry representatives.

The announcement was made by NFPA President and CEO Jim Pauley as part of the programme, which focused on fire, life and electrical safety issues in the region.

The updated version of NFPA LiNK is positioned as a new generation of the organisation’s digital platform for delivering its codes, standards and related resources.

The platform is designed to support faster decision-making when applying NFPA’s library of more than 300 codes and standards.

Pauley said: “We couldn’t be prouder to launch the new AI-powered enhancements in NFPA LiNK with CASI here at Intersec Dubai during NFPA Day.

“This new version is a game-changer that takes NFPA LiNK from being a reference tool to a career companion for professionals across the world.

“It brings intelligence, accessibility, and speed to finding the latest codes and standards, helping people apply safety more effectively wherever they are.

“And with the inclusion of CASI, our new AI-powered assistant, users can trust the information they are getting, because it’s grounded in official NFPA information and resources that define safety.

“Our participation in Intersec Dubai 2026 and the launch of this new version of NFPA LiNK bolsters our dedication to helping raise the bar for fire, life, and electrical safety across the region,” Pauley said.

What NFPA LiNK 3.0 includes

NFPA LiNK is a subscription-based platform that provides access to more than 300 NFPA codes and standards.

The latest version introduces new digital tools intended to support more structured and collaborative ways of working.

Key additions include an AI-powered assistant called CASI (Codes and Standards Intelligence), interactive and customisable notebooks and a redesigned dashboard.

CASI enables users to hold interactive conversations, receive summarised responses, access citations from NFPA content and retain complete chat histories while reviewing the relevant material.

The notebook function allows users to import images, insert code references, add text, create checklists and manage project-related work within the platform.

Eng. Dana Kamal, NFPA MENA director of International Business Development, said: “The introduction of the latest version of NFPA LiNK at Intersec Dubai reflects our commitment to delivering innovation where it matters most – directly to practitioners in the environments where they operate, whether on job sites, in control rooms, or training facilities, and throughout the lifecycle of complex projects.

“This region is setting the pace for safety and technology, especially when it comes to integrating AI.

“With tools like NFPA LiNK’s interactive notebooks, and CASI, we’re delivering what our colleagues around the world have asked for; smarter workflows, faster answers, and content that they can trust, delivered where and when they need it,” Kamal added.

NFPA Day sessions and regional engagement

NFPA’s presence at Intersec Dubai 2026 included sessions examining AI in inspection practices, fire protection approaches for giga-projects and the region’s energy and infrastructure priorities.

The programme also supported engagement with regional stakeholders, including government authorities, industry leaders and technical experts.

The event activity and the launch of NFPA LiNK 3.0 were presented as part of NFPA’s wider work across standards development, enforcement, education and public engagement.
