Volume 13 • Number 9 December 2009

Committee Leadership ConferenceThe Committee Leadership Conference will be held on Sunday, June 6, 2010, at the NFPA Conference and Expo® at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV. The registration for the Conference will start at 8:00 a.m. on June 6th. The Committee Leadership Conference is held at each June Meeting. This confer-ence is a formalized training program that provides each NFPA Committee officer with specific training in carrying out the duties and responsibilities of his or her assignment. The Conference is open to all NFPA Committee members and others who wish to attend. Advance registration is requested. Please contact Codes and Standards Administration at 617-984-7248.

Comments SoughtProposed Tentative Interim AmendmentsThe following Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) have been proposed to NFPA. They are being published for public review and comment. Comments should be filed with the Secretary, Stan-dards Council, by the date indicated below.

These proposed TIAs have also been forwarded to the responsible technical committee for processing. The technical committee will consider public comments received by the date indicated below before vote is taken on the proposed TIA. (Please identify the

number of the TIA to which the comment is addressed.) Three-fourths of the voting members of the technical committee and/or the technical correlating committee, if any, must vote in favor of the TIA on both technical merit and emergency nature as calculated in accordance with 3.3.4.5 of the Regulations Governing Commit-tee Projects to establish a recommendation for approval of the TIA.

The Standards Council will review the technical committees’ bal-lot results, the public comments, and any other information that has been submitted when it considers the issuance of the TIA at its March 2-3, 2010 meeting. In accordance with 1.6.2(c) of the Regulations, a proposed TIA which has been submitted for pro-cessing pursuant to 5.1 of the Regulations will be automatically docketed as an appeal on the agenda of the Standards Council, and any party may advocate their position either in writing or in person before the Council. If an automatically docketed appeal has not been pursued by any party, the Council need not consider the mat-ter as an appeal.

A TIA is tentative because it has not been processed through the entire codes- and standards-making procedures. It is interim because it is effective only between editions of the document. A TIA automatically becomes a proposal of the proponent for the next edition of the document. As such, it then is subject to all of the procedures of the codes- and standards-making process.

NFPA 11-2010 Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam TIA Log No.: 973Reference: 10.6.3Comment Closing Date: January 8, 2010Submitter: Robert Kasiski, FM Global

1. Revise 10.6.3 to read as follows:

10.6.3* The foam concentrate induction rate of a proportioner, expressed as a percentage of the foam solution flow (water plus foam concentrate), shall be within minus 0 percent to plus 30 per-cent of the manufacturer’s listed concentration, or plus 1 percent-age point, whichever is less. (For information on tests for physical properties of foam, see Annexes C & D.)

A.10.6.3 The rate of concentrate flow can be measured by timing a given displacement from the storage tank. Solution concentration can be measured by either refractometric or conductivity means (see Section D.2), or it can be calculated from solution and concen-trate flow rates. Solution flow rates can be calculated by utilizing recorded inlet or end-of-system operating pressures or both.

2 December 2009

Substantiation: The revision will provide clarity to the criteria for acceptance by identifying the specific tolerance range for the concentration. This range for acceptance is based upon the type of concentration being inducted. The current wording is confusing such that it can be inferred there are discrete allowable set points for acceptance that varies based upon the type of proportioning.

Emergency Nature: This change must be added since it has come to the attention of the committee that the current wording is con-fusing and would permit an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to accept a foam system that inducts or proportions foam concentrate at a concentration that would violate the listing.

NFPA 20-2010Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire ProtectionTIA Log No. 976Reference: 5.8 (New)Comment Closing Date: January 8, 2010Submitter: Technical Committee on Fire Pumps

1. Add a new 5.8 as follows:

5.8 Protection of Control Wiring for Pumps in Series.

5.8.1* Interconnect control wiring of pumps in series which are not located in the same room and which affects starting of the supply (lower zone) pump(s) shall be protected against fire and physi-cal damage in the same manner as power conductors described in NFPA 70, Article 695.

A.5.8.1 The following methods should be considered acceptable:(1) Be encased in a minimum 50 mm (2 in.) of concrete(2) Be protected by a fire-rated assembly listed to achieve a minimum fire rating of 2 hours and dedicated to the fire pump circuit(s) (3) Be a listed electrical circuit protective system with a minimum 2-hour fire rating (4 Be protected by a listed fire-rated assembly that has a minimum fire rating of 2 hours and contains only emergency alarm and/or control wiring circuits dedicated to fire pumps or emer-gency systems generators or legally required generators, and no power wiring circuits5.8.2 The motor on the supply (lower zone) pump(s) shall start on the opening of the control circuit (remote start) loop. 5.8.3 The installed controllers shall meet the requirements of 10.5.2.5 and/or 12.7.2.4 as applicable.

Substantiation: As a result of the floor action at the NFPA Techni-cal Session the paragraph that would have required all high-rise pumps in series to be located within the same fire pump room was returned to the Committee and therefore deleted from the Stan-dard. The Technical Committee addressed the need for protection of control wire installations by requiring all series fire pumps in high-rises to be located within the same fire pump room. The Com-mittee did not contemplate any additional needs for control wire protection. The Standard as it exists does not contain any require-ments for the protection of this critical wiring. Failure of this wir-ing could prevent lower zone pumps from starting when needed to supply building fire protection systems. This could also result in

failure of the higher zone pumps. The task group considered that each controller has an independent pressure switch; however there are certain conditions where the low zone pump pressure switch may be satisfied even though there may be an upper level water demand. Also note that high zone pumps won’t just cavitate in the absence of suction water; but, will run dry destroying them in short order and preventing any manual intervention. This will leave some high zones without any fire protection, particularly those which are above the pumping ability of the local fire department. Since the building will already have a significant amount of 2 hour protected wiring already for the fire pump power supplies and for alarm and annunciator systems the added requirement to protect the controller wiring would not be difficult to achieve.

Emergency Nature: In accordance with the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee projects Section 5.2, this TIA is of an emer-gency nature because the document contains an omission that was a result of the floor action at the NFPA Technical Session. In addi-tion the proposed TIA intends to offer to the public a benefit that would lessen a recognized (known) hazard or ameliorate a continu-ing dangerous condition or situation.

NFPA 72-2010National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code TIA Log No.: 971Reference: 24.4.1Comment Closing Date: January 8, 2010Submitter: Bruce Fraser, Milford, MA

1. Revise 24.4.1.4 Tones, to read as follows:

24.4.1.4 Tones. The tone preceding any message shall comply with 24.4.1.4.1 through 24.4.1.4.4.

24.4.1.4.1 The tone preceding any message shall be permitted to be part of the voice message or to be transmitted automatically from a separate tone generator.

24.4.1.4.2* Except as specified in 24.4.1.4.3, in occupancies where sleeping accommodations are provided and the voice mes-sage is intended to communicate information to those who could be asleep, a low-frequency tone that complies with the following shall be used:(1) The tone shall be a square wave or provide equivalent awaken-ing ability (2) The square wave shall have a fundamental frequency of 520 Hz ± 10 percent.

A.24.4.1.4.2 The intent of this low frequency tone is to accom-modate those with mild to severe hearing loss. See also 18.4.5, A.18.4.5 and A.29.3.8.2. The effective date listed in Chapter 18 for using a low frequency signal has not been allowed in this sec-tion (24.4.1.4) because voice systems are easily adapted to comply, whereas the requirements of 18.4.5 also apply to stand-alone tone signaling appliances.

24.4.1.4.3* In areas where sleeping accommodation are provided, but the voice communication system is used to communicate to occupants who are awake, the low frequency tone shall not be required.

3 December 2009

A.24.4.1.4.3 Sleeping accommodations are provided in occupan-cies such as healthcare, detention and correction, and other occu-pancies where it would not be necessary to utilize a low frequency tone that awakens those sleeping. For example, in a hospital, the voice message is used to notify staff members who are already awake. The staff will then respond to the appropriate location in the hospital to carry out their duties which may include awaken-ing and relocating patients who may be in danger. In addition, fire drills are required to be conducted on a regular basis and providing a low frequency tone could unnecessarily awaken patients, which would be detrimental to their care.

24.4.1.4.4 Audible signal tones for alert or evacuation shall meet the audibility requirements of either 18.4.3 (Public Mode Audible Requirements), 18.4.4 (Private Mode Audible Requirements), 18.4.5.1 and 18.4.5.2 (Sleeping Area Requirements), or 18.4.6 (Narrow Band Tone Signaling for Exceeding Masked Thresholds), as applicable.

Substantiation: If a voice communication system is used and the intent is to awaken occupants and to communicate information to them, the new wording would require the use of the 520 Hz alert tone to awaken those occupants. However, the current wording needs to be revised as there are occupancies where sleeping accommodations are provided that may have a voice communication system where it is not the intent to awaken those sleeping occupants, but to notify staff members to take appropriate action for those who are asleep. These occu-pancies can include healthcare occupancies (sleeping patients), daycare occupancies (infants/small children/adults unable to take action), detention and correctional occupancies (incarcerated occu-pants unable to exit), and educational occupancies (nurses offices with sleeping accommodations). Unless this situation is addressed, the tone in question would be required for instances where it is not desirable, and could even be detrimental to the building emergency plan. Regardless of whether the system is required to awaken or to alert persons who are already awake, the tone signal must meet the audi-bility requirements of Chapter 18.

The new wording in 24.4.1.4.2 along with 24.4.1.4.3 and A.24.4.1.4.3 addresses the occupancies and situations listed above. Also, new paragraph 24.4.1.4.4 addresses the audibility of the tone signals. In summary, this TIA would correct an unintended and unde-sirable consequence of the floor action which revised Section 24.4.1.4 by acceptance of a Certified Amending Motion at the NFPA meeting last June (2009) in Chicago. Insofar as the emergency nature of this TIA, it is directly related to item 5.2(f) of the Regulations Governing Committee Projects, Section 5 Tentative Interim Amendments. See the following excerpt:

Emergency Nature. Determination of an emergency nature shall include but not be limited to one or more of the following factors: (f) The proposed TIA intends to correct a circumstance in which the revised document has resulted in an adverse impact on a product or method that was inadvertently overlooked in the total revision process, or was without adequate technical (safety) justification for the action.

Request for a New ProjectAt their October, 2009 Standard Council meeting, the Council reviewed a request for a new project on fire service training in thermal Imaging and voted to publish the request for public review and comment.

Anyone interested in commenting on this proposed project is invited to do so in writing. Please include information on resources on the subject matter, the names of those interested in participating on the Committee (if established), the names of other organizations actively involved with this subject, and whether there is a need for such a project. Responses should be sent to Codes and Standards Administration, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169-7471, by January 4, 2010.

Fire Service Training in Thermal Imaging

a. Provide an explanation and any evidence of the need for the new project/document.

In the near future, NFPA will be issuing a new standard, NFPA 1801, Standard on Thermal Imagers for the Fire Service. Currently there are no specific training standards in the fire service for ther-mal imaging.

Some manufacturers offer training programs for their specific devices. The programs vary widely in the level and quality of training. Private sector training companies also offer a range of training programs. The Law Enforcement Thermographers’Association (LETA) is an internationally recognized training orga-nization that sets standards for thermal imaging training for the law enforcement community.

NFPA is the internationally recognized leader in the development of standards and guides for the Fire Service. Therefore, NFPA should move forward with the development of a Thermal Imaging training standard that would provide for the three levels of training: basic, advanced and instructor.

7 December 2009

Due to the lack of standardized training most users do not under-stand the basic principles of physics that enable the thermal imag-ers to “see through smoke”. As a result, the user can not fully understand the capabilities and limitations of these life safety devices. This lack of training may result in ineffective and or inap-propriate use, which could translate into reduced safety on the fire ground, reduced availability and increased maintenance costs for the thermal imagers.

Given that there are several thermal imaging technologies, it is important that the basics of all are addressed in the training, since a first responder may not always be using the device that is “typi-cally on the rig”, especially in a large mutual aid response. Without appropriate training the benefits of thermal imaging technology may not be fully realized by the user. In some cases, the lack of understanding may actually place the user in hazardous situation to both themselves and other fire fighters operating at an emergency incident.

b. Identify intended users of the new document.

Fire Training Officers, Emergency Responder Training Offi-cers, and Private Sector Training Groups serving the Emergency Responder/Security Community.

c. Identify individuals, groups and organizations that should review and provide input on the need for the proposed new document; and provide contact information for these groups.

In addition to the NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Service Training, the NFPA Technical Committee on Electronic Safety Equipment should be asked to review and provide input. The Technical Committee on Electronic Safety Equipment has rep-resentatives of thermal imager manufacturers, safety equipment associations, researchers and first responders. In addition, the Thermal Imager Working Group members could lend another degree of expertise and assistance to the Committee in developing the standard.

d. Identify individuals, groups and organizations that will be or could be affected, either directly or indirectly, by the proposed new document, and what benefit they will receive by having this new document available.

First Responders, especially fire fighters. With proper training, the users will derive the biggest benefit by enabling them to use the thermal imagers with increased effectiveness and reliability. In turn this should lead to increased safety on the fire ground for both fire fighters and civilians in need of rescue.

ThermalImagerManufacturers–withtheusersreceivingastan-dardized training program, there will be less confusion about the thermal imagers’ capabilities and limitations, hence fewer com-plaints and a greater appreciation from the attributes of thermal imaging technology.

Fire Service Organizations will benefit with improved safety for their members. In addition they should realize reduced repair and maintenance costs to thermal imagers damaged from misuse.

Training Organizations, both public and private sector, will have to develop courses to cover the requirements of the new standard and implement new training programs.

The general public. As public safety organizations improve their capabilities with thermal imager technology, the public will also benefit.

e. Identify other related documents and projects on the subject both within NFPA and external to NFPA.

NFPA 1801: STANDARD ON THERMAL IMAGERS FOR THE FIRE SERVICE, NEW STANDARD, FALL 2009

f. Identify the technical expertise and interest necessary to develop the document, and if the committee membership cur-rently contains this expertise and interest.

The Technical Committee on Fire Service Training has the interest and the technical expertise with regard to developing and imple-menting standards for thermal imager training. At a minimum, a liaison with the 1800 TC would be useful to provide technical information specific to the thermal imagers.

g. Provide an estimate on the amount of time needed to develop the new document.

3 years

h. Comment on the availability of data and other information that exists or would be needed to substantiate the technical requirements and other provisions of the proposed new docu-ment.

The basic principles of thermal imaging are well understood and documented in the scientific literature. Unfortunately these have not been uniformly distilled into practical material for training fire service users. Significant research was conducted and referenced in the development of NFPA 1801, which could drawn from to develop training standards. Manufacturers would also be a source of information.
