CommitteeStatement:

This first revision seeks to provide a requirement to conduct a risk analysis and create an emergency action plan for occupancieswhere required by Chapters 11-43. The need for effective emergency communications in the United States came into sharp focus inthe 20th century in response to threats to homeland security and our educational occupancies. We have learned from the recentincidents that occurred in our college/university campuses, and other buildings, and have created installation guidelines to befollowed for life safety. [Aurora, CO. Theater 2012; Columbine 1999; Virginia Tech 2007; Sandy Hook 2012; WeatherTornadoes/Storms]. //

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) School Safety, Codes and Security Workshop was held December 3–4, 2014 inCollege Park, Maryland, and was sponsored and hosted by NFPA. The resulting report highlights the need for real timecommunication systems in appropriate occupancies. //

NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has a chapter dedicated to emergency communication systems. This containsthe detailed information on the risk analysis and emergency action plan as required in the above proposed sections. //

This is NOT intended to require a mass notification system. There are many elements contained within a mass notification system.The process of the risk analysis will outline what is needed based on risk and engineering study for the occupancy. It will be theresponsibility of the occupancy to react to the risk assessment. //

A task group has been appointed to further review the location of the proposed material in Ch. 9. The committee requests theCorrelating Committee review this action in conjunction with any related actions by the TC on Fundamentals and the occupancychapter committees to ensure the provisions are appropriately coordinated. The committee also requests the Correlating Committeereview the scope of the TC on Building Service and Fire Protection Equipment to recommend any needed changes to accommodatethe addition of the proposed language.

What is to be solved with this requirement? The new requirement reference 7.12.2 which requires means of egress to comply with other codes.However, small board and care facilities don’t have a means of egress. They have a means of escape. Do we want to apply means of egressrequirements from other standards to board and care facilities? What is broken that we need to add this?

The committee statement says: "The revision incorporates the means of egress provisions of 7.12.2 for both small and large facilities where hazardous materials are present." Adding this requirement will not solve any issues and will create problems. There is no means of egress is a small board and care as the chapter uses means of escape. While NFPA 30, which is referenced, has specific occupancy requirements, it doesn't have any board and care occupancy requirements. Please delete this unnecessary requirement unless it is shown that there is something specific that it is to address.

Initiation of the required fire alarm system shall be by one of the following means:

(1) Manual means in accordance with 9.6.2.1(1)

(2) Automatic sprinkler system that complies with 9.6.2.1(3) and provides protection throughout the building .


The term "throughout" means sprinkler are installed in all of the places required by the standard and omitted in spaces where specifically addressed by that standard. Throughout is used in NFPA 13 and NFPA 13R, but not in NFPA 13D. Adding "throughout" will be confusing to the user of the code. Does it mean as it does in the standard or is the Life Safety Code taking this one step further? By removing the "throughout" language it keeps the intent of the FR.

It appears that this change is going to create some problems. 1. 32.2.3.4.2 (2) states "...and provides protection throughout the building" Whatdoes that mean with respect to a 13D and a 13R system that, by design, is not throughout the building like a 13 system? 2. 32.2.3.5.6 requires thefire alarm to be initiated with a partial sprinkler system. This should be added or somehow addressed. 3. The base paragraph says that the firealarm system should be initiated by either or, but it appears that presently, both are required to initiate the alarm. 4. 32.2.3.5.4 requires the 13 or13R system to be supervised, but 32.2.3.5.5 doesn't mandate a 13D system to be supervised. It is one of the three options. Leaving the languagein the code without making this change will reduce these conflicting issues.

32.2.5 Building Services.

32.2.5.1 Utilities.

Utilities shall comply with Section 9.1.

32.2.5.2 Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning.

32.2.5.2.1

Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment shall comply with 9.2.1 and 9.2.2, unless otherwise required in this chapter.

32.2.5.2.2

No stove or combustion heater shall be located to block escape in case of fire caused by the malfunction of the stove or heater.

32.2.5.2.3

Unvented fuel-fired heaters shall not be used in any residential board and care facility.

32.2.5.3 Elevators, Escalators, and Conveyors.

Elevators, escalators, and conveyors shall comply with Section 9.4.

32.2.5.4 Call Systems

When the residential board and care occupancy is required by state or local code to be equipped with a Call System for resident tostaff communication, the Call System shall be in accordance with section 32.3.5.


2015 Glossary Term 3.3.190.12* Residential Board and Care Occupancy is defined as: “An occupancy used for lodging and boarding of four or more residents, not related by blood or marriage to the owners or operators, for the purpose of providing personal care services.” – This definition applies to occupancies commonly referred to as Assisted Living Facilities.

As more and more residential board and care facilities are developed and constructed, state legislatures and local jurisdictions are beginning to draft regulatory codes requiring implementation of a Call System for these occupancies. Most often, they rely on NEMA to provide guidance and to propose code language for which kind of Call System is most appropriate for a residential care facility.

While the NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Code requires a Nurse Call System which is “listed” to the ANSI/UL 1069 Safety Standard for Hospital Signaling and Nurse Call Equipment, that standard is specifically applicable for NFPA 99 Category 1 and Category 2 facilities (i.e., acute care and nursing home facilities respectively). But for Residential Board and Care Facilities, a UL1069 listed Nurse Call System is not necessarily a proper system choice. Instead, an Emergency Call System which is “listed” to the ANSI/UL 2560 Safety Standard for Assisted Living and Independent Living Facilities is a much more appropriate system type. Systems “listed” to the ANSI/UL 2560 standard are specifically designed to the unique requirements of residential board and care occupancies. Hence, facility owners and operators of residential board and care facilities will install an Emergency Call System that conforms with the requirements specified in the ANSI/UL 2560 standard rather than installing a Nurse Call System that is “listed” to the ANSI/UL 1069 standard.

The problem is, a system that is “not-listed” to an electrical safety standard does not provide the same level of reliability as does one which has been tested, evaluated and “listed” by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). Bear in mind, a Call System gets installed by factory trained technicians and becomes a part of a facility’s infrastructure and building system operations. A Call System “listed” to ANSI/UL 2560 provides 3rd Party tested and audited assurance of safeguards against critical hazards such as fire and electrical shock whereas, a non-listed (rogue) system would not have been independently assessed or audited as providing such assurance.

Think of it this way, would any NFPA code allow for a non-listed Smoke Detection, CO or Fire Alarm System to be installed in any type of facility or occupancy? An Emergency Call System, Nurse Call System and Fire Alarm System are all categorically referred to as a “Life Safety System” and hence, rely upon a “listing” with an independent NRTL to provide assurance of continued reproducibility of safe and effective system operation.

An Emergency Call System that is “listed” to the ANSI/UL 2560 safety standard provides a level of safety against electrical and fire hazards that is state-of-the-art current best practice and which is comparable to that of a “listed” Nurse Call System (ANSI/UL 1069 – NFPA 99) and even to a “listed” Fire Alarm System (ANSI/UL 864 – NFPA 72).

Sleeping rooms need to be protected from all other spaces that are not like kind uses by fire resistance rated barriers. It's easier toprovide exceptions where fire resistance rated barriers are not required then to specify those spaces where fire resistance ratedbarriers are required as currently stated (e.g., "living areas and kitchens"). The exceptions provided are meant to deal withbathrooms, both those that directly serve the sleeping room or sleeping suite, and common bathrooms serving corridors, which don'trequire a fire resistance rating; and for "lounge" spaces within sleeping room suites. All other spaces (e.g., housekeeping closets,laundry rooms, common TV rooms, meeting rooms, offices, etc.) that don't require a fire resistance rating themselves should beseparated from sleeping rooms by fire resistance rated barriers.

The new wording provided doesn’t accomplish what the requester wanted. It has changed the requirements and no longer requires sleepingrooms to be separated from lounges (living spaces). If there is a need to change the language, it should be done without changing therequirement.

CommitteeStatement:

Recent work by the Fire Protection Research Foundation indicates that heating elements that meet this specification are unlikelyto ignite cooking material. See: http://www.nfpa.org/research/fire-protection-research-foundation/reports-and-proceedings/other-research-topics/analytical-modeling-of-pan-and-oil-heating-on-an-electric-coil-cooktop

While the code restricts the use to food warming or "limited cooking" in this section, it is highly problematic to enforce thisprohibition in practical application. Inclusion of this limit will ensure that cooking appliances do not present a hazard when usedinconsistent with this limits of this section.

The UL 858 STP is actively working on proposals to include cooktop temperature limit language in the standard for householdcooking equipment. This will ensure appliances are available that meet this provision for newly installed household cookingequipment.

Proposal needs a specific reference to a UL standard that is the basis for the specified temperature limits.


Larrimer, Peter A.

According to the committee statement, the item that is difficult to enforce is “limited cooking”. If an appliance is provided that is unlikely to ignitecooking material, why would it be necessary to try to limit cooking? Putting in another restriction on equipment won’t change the enforcementissue of determining what is “limited cooking”. I would suggest that the limited cooking issue would go away with the proposed new requirementfor the equipment. We should leave 33.3.3.8.2 as is and add the following: (Add) Where residential cooking equipment is used and the heatingelements or burners have been tested and listed to not allow cooking pan temperatures to exceed 662 degrees F, the equipment shall not requirethe area to be protected as a hazardous area. (Existing text leave as is) 33.3.3.8.2 Where residential cooking equipment is used for food warmingor limited cooking, the equipment shall not be required to be protected in accordance with 9.2.3, and the presence of the equipment shall notrequire the area to be protected as a hazardous area.

What is to be solved with this requirement? The new requirement reference 7.12.2 which requires means of egress to comply with other codes.However, small board and care facilities don’t have a means of egress. They have a means of escape. Do we want to apply means of egressrequirements from other standards to board and care facilities? What is broken that we need to add this? In addition, this will be a retroactiverequirement to comply with another standard. This is not good.

It appears that this change is going to create some problems. 1. 32.2.3.4.2 (2) states "...and provides protection throughout the building" Whatdoes that mean with respect to a 13D and a 13R system that, by design, is not throughout the building like a 13 system? 2. 32.2.3.5.6 requires thefire alarm to be initiated with a partial sprinkler system. This should be added or somehow addressed. 3. The base paragraph says that the firealarm system should be initiated by either or, but it appears that presently, both are required to initiate the alarm. 4. 32.2.3.5.4 requires the 13 or13R system to be supervised, but 32.2.3.5.5 doesn't mandate a 13D system to be supervised. It is one of the three options. Leaving the languagein the code without making this change will reduce these conflicting issues.

33.2.3.4.4.6

Smoke alarms in accordance with 33.2.3.4.4.1, 33.2.3.4.4.2, and 33.2.3.4.4.3 shall not be required where buildings are protectedthroughout by an approved automatic sprinkler system, in accordance with 33.2.3.5, that uses quick-response or residentialsprinklers, and are protected with approved smoke alarms installed in each sleeping room, in accordance with 9.6.2.10, that arepowered by the building electrical system.

33.2.3.4.4.7

Smoke alarms in accordance with 33.2.3.4.4.1, 33.2.3.4.4.2, and 33.2.3.4.4.3 shall not be required where buildings are protectedthroughout by an approved automatic sprinkler system, in accordance with 33.2.3.5, that uses quick-response or residentialsprinklers, with existing battery-powered smoke alarms in each sleeping room, and where, in the opinion of the authority havingjurisdiction, the facility has demonstrated that testing, maintenance, and a battery replacement program ensure the reliability of powerto the smoke alarms.


This change is an editorial change. Take a look at the 2000 Edition of NFPA 101.

33.2.3.4.3* Smoke Alarms. Approved smoke alarms shall beprovided in accordance with 9.6.2.10. These alarms shall bepowered from the building electrical system and, when activated,shall initiate an alarm that is audible in all sleepingareas. Smoke alarms shall be installed on all levels, includingbasements but excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.Additional smoke alarms shall be installed for living rooms,dens, day rooms, and similar spaces.

Exception No. 1: Buildings protected throughout by an approved automaticsprinkler system, in accordance with 33.2.3.5, that uses quick responseor residential sprinklers, and protected with approved smokealarms installed in each sleeping room, in accordance with 9.6.2.10,that are powered by the building electrical system.

Exception No. 2: Where buildings are protected throughout by an approvedautomatic sprinkler system, in accordance with 33.2.3.5, thatuses quick-response or residential sprinklers, with existing battery-poweredsmoke alarms in each sleeping room, and where, in the opinion ofthe authority having jurisdiction, the facility has demonstrated thattesting, maintenance, and a battery replacement program ensure thereliability of power to the smoke alarms.

The exceptions in the 2000 edition applied to the base paragraph that had all three requirements in it. When the committee removed the exceptions placed only one requirement in each paragraph, they numbered the document incorrectly such that the exception would only apply to one of the three requirements that was in the base paragraph in the 2000 edition. Adding the paragraph references to 33.2.3.4.3.6 and 7 will fix this editorial mistake.

Public Comment No. 145-NFPA 101-2016 [ New Section after A.32.3.5.3.2 ]

TITLE OF NEW CONTENT

Type your content here ...

A.32.3.6.3 A listed residential board and care Call System can be integrated with a supplementary wireless communication system forthe purpose of providing mobile call notifications to staff carried or worn portable devices. Such notifications are consideredsupplementary unless the wireless communication system is also listed to the ANSI/UL 2560 Safety Standard. Any non-listedsupplementary wireless communication system that is integrated with a listed residential Call System should conform to otherappropriate safety standards (i.e., electrical safety and EMC conformance) which is consistent with the intended use of the wirelesscommunication system as a stand-alone communication system. The supplementary wireless communication system should alsoprovide certificates of compliance as having been independently tested by a NRTL to appropriate electrical safety and EMC standards.



While a “listed” Call System will provide NRTL evaluated and audited conformance to the ANSI/UL 2560 Safety Standard, a supplementary wireless communication system (e.g., Pagers, DECT, Smart Phones) need to also provide conformance to appropriate electrical safety and EMC standards as well. Otherwise, installing any type of “non-listed” (rogue) wireless communication system which has no electrical safety or EMC safety conformity can introduce fire and electrical shock hazards which can result in severe adverse events to life safety, affecting both residents and care staff.

Proposal is not clear as to location of the lounge. Is the lounge "adjacent"? or is it a lounge that is a separate room, out the door, door thecorridor?

Nichols, Daniel E.

A clarification for this could be 'lounge areas within sleeping units' to better define the intent of not requiring separation in suite-typearrangements.

Although grab bars are valuable safety features for residents in need of them, they are not necessary for all individuals. To require grab bars in allbathtubs, bathtub-shower combinations or showers puts an undue burden on the provider to provide these safety features when in fact they maynot be required by the resident.

CommitteeStatement:

The purpose of this revision is to provide a requirement to conduct a risk analysis and create an emergency action plan for thefacility. The need for effective emergency communications in the United States came into sharp focus in the 20th century inresponse to threats to homeland security and our educational occupancies. We have learned from the recent incidents that occurredin our college/university campuses and other buildings, and have created installation guidelines to be followed for life safety. [Aurora,CO. Theater 2012; Columbine 1999; Virginia Tech 2007; Sandy Hook 2012; Weather Tornadoes/Storms]. //

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) School Safety, Codes and Security Workshop, was held December 3–4, 2014, inCollege Park, Maryland, and was sponsored and hosted by NFPA. This report highlights the need for real time communicationsystems in appropriate occupancies. //

NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has a chapter dedicated to Emergency Communication Systems. This containsthe detailed information on the risk analysis and emergency action plan as required in the above proposed sections. //

This is NOT intended to require a mass notification system. There are many elements contained within a mass notification syste, theprocess of the risk analysis will outline what is needed based on risk and engineering study for the occupancy. It will be theresponsibility of the occupancy to react to the risk assessment. //

A task group has been appointed to further review the location of the material in Ch. 55. The committee requests the CorrelatingCommittee review this action in conjunction with related actions by the TC on Fundamentals and the occupancy committees toensure the provisions are appropriately coordinated. The committee also requests the CC review the scope of BLD-BSF torecommend any needed changes to accommodate the addition of the proposed language. //

The task group will also address the reference to an emergency action plan, which is not currently required by NFPA 5000.
