Committee Statement and Meeting Notes
CommitteeStatement:
The TC has changed the definition of self luminous to better address the concerns of the submitter. Wherever the wording "self luminous" exisits within the standard, this new definition will now include photoluminescent materials. The annex information for A.4.1.3 and A.5.1.3 will now allow photluminescent materials.

Committee Statement and Meeting Notes
CommitteeStatement:
Fire Department Automatic Sprinkler Connection - Siamese The proposed change will prevent confusion with the first example of Fire Department Automatic Sprinkler Connection - Single. Emergency Telephone The proposed change will identify the standard field of the symbol. A rectangular field can also be used alternatively. Whichever the shape will be used, it must be included in the corresponding characteristics column of the symbol. The chosen shape or field should be the first characteristic to achieve consistency with other symbols'characteristics. No Fire Fighting Having the octagonal field as the firstcharacteristic in the column can result in a little bit of confusion until one can analyze the symbol and its characteristics more closely. Since the first characteristic of the preceding symbols (except for Emergency Telephone) describes the overall shape of these symbols, the "No Fire Fighting" symbol should follow also this format. Hence, the proposed change. The TC changed the outer field to circular to represent the actual symbol. SCBA symbol The symbol should have a rectangular field to achieve consistency with the corresponding characteristic. Firefighting Hose or Standpipe Outlet Symbol No demonstrated need to add classifications of standpipe. Hoses are connected via couplings for either type.

Committee Statement and Meeting Notes
CommitteeStatement:
The basic shape for "wall" does not need designation therefore we are not adding other verbiage. The symbol SP is a smoke partition and special terms are not necessary. The submitter's "barrier wall'' designation is not changed by the Technical Committee because there is varied terminology for fire rated construction and we are not removing 3/4 fire rated wall because there may be situations where it could be used by a designer. The technical committee is adding the new designation "F" to denote a firewall to the "2 hour", "3 hour", 4 hour" symbols. See attachment for new artwork

Committee Statement and Meeting Notes
CommitteeStatement:
1. Combined combination heat detector/smoke detector into one symbol. The TC is changing the shape of symbol only. By combining this into one symbol, it allows for easier delineation between the two meanings. 2. The TC is not adding the smoke detector sensor for the duct as it adds confusion and could cause designer errors. 3. This symbol already exists in Table 8.5 therefore the TC is not adding it. 4. Adding new symbol to "Gas Detector/Sensor Subscript Examples" (changing name to Gas Detection Types) for designation of smoke/heat detector/carbon monoxide detector does exist, and a symbol is required. 5. Moving symbols within Table for ease of use
