Brackets containing section references to another NFPA document are for informational purposes only and are provided as a guide to indicate the source of the extracted text.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

When a standard borrows text from another NFPA document, the brackets showing a section reference exist to identify where that material came from and to guide you to the original source. They are informational and used for traceability, not to impose additional requirements. The enforceable obligations come from the wording in the current standard, not from the bracketed cross-reference. If you need full context or the exact requirements, you would consult the referenced document, but you do not treat the bracketed reference itself as a separate requirement.
