Scores and PPCTM Ratings

The Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) lists a large number of items a community should have to fight fires effectively. The Schedule assigns credit points for each item. Using those credit points and various formulas, ISO calculates a total score on a scale of 0 to 100. For information on the relationship between credit points and scores on the 100-point scale, see ISO’s relative-value tables.

To receive certain Public Protection Classification (PPCTM) ratings, a community must meet minimum criteria:

• Minimum facilities and practices to get a PPC rating
• Minimum criteria for Class 9
• Minimum criteria for Class 8B
• Minimum criteria for Class 8 or better

After a community meets those criteria, the PPC depends on the community's score on the 100-point scale:
