NFPA 1931 provides manufacturers of fire department ground ladders with a set of performance requirements against which new ladders are certified. It specifies the requirements and the design verification testing required for new ground ladders intended for use by fire department personnel for rescue and fire-fighting operations as well as for training.

This 2004 edition clarifies NFPA 1931 as pertaining to the manufacturer rather than the fire department. Text is also reorganized into NFPA's Manual of Style for consistency with other documents.
