NOTE: This public input originates from Tentative Interim Amendment No.15-1 (Log 1145) issued by the Standards Council onAugust 14, 2014 and per the NFPA Regs., needs to be reconsidered by the Technical Committee for the next edition of theDocument.

Submitter’s Substantiation: The proposed revisions delete all references to and extracts from NFPA 1124, Code for theManufacture, Transportation, Storage, and Retail Sales of Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles, and all consumer fireworksprovisions, in NFPA 1, Fire Code, to align with the NFPA policy on extracts and Standards Council Decision D#14-1, whichresulted in the temporary withdrawal of NFPA 1124. The effect of this decision is that no recognized criteria for the subjectspreviously governed by NFPA 1124 exists within the NFPA codes and standards system.

Emergency Nature: NFPA 1124 has been temporarily withdrawn as a result of Standards Council Decision D#14-1, which wasissued March 3, 2014, subsequent to completion of the NFPA 1-2015 Second Draft, but prior to the issuance of NFPA 1-2015.Accordingly, this TIA is intended to be issued concurrently with NFPA 1-2015.

A.1.3.2.2

This section provides a basis for regulating an occupancy or hazard not specifically regulated by NFPA 1

or its referenced standards (e.g., retail sales and associated storage of consumer fireworks; wind

turbines; amusement structures not defined as special amusement buildings, such as outdoor roller

coasters and water slides), the AHJ has the authority to utilize any available resource and its own

discretion to develop an appropriate protection scheme, including utilization of the provisions of

Chapter 1, Administration, Chapter 4, Goals and Objectives, Chapter 5, Performance-Based Option, or

other nationally recognized standards as indicated in 1.3.2.2 to regulate such occupancies or hazards.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

There are many states and jurisdictions that are facing legislatively mandated delays in code adoptions. This creates situationswhere the referenced standard may be four, five or even six editions behind the newest standards and knowledge that isreflected in those newer standards. If this language is adopted in a jurisdiction, then if subsequent editions of codes andstandards are delayed, a contractor or design professional can still design and install to a newer edition with full confidence thatthey are code compliant. In many cases, technology is moving so fast that only the most recent editions of standards adequatelyaddress a design. One obvious example is communication technologies as addressed by NFPA 72. While an AHJ always hasthe ability to accept equivalencies, many AHJ's are reluctant to accept newer editions of standards.

Based on the 6/4/2015 Pre-First Draft meeting direction from the TC, this PI was revised to:

1. Clarify that this section is not intended to permit "cherry picking" and;

2. Annex text was added to each section explaining the intent and;

3. Providing direction to submit technical documentation in accordance with 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 if a request is to utilize only a specificsection of a subsequent edition.

A.1.4.1.1

Newer editions of referenced publications incorporate advances in knowledge, best practices and

technology. Therefore, if an owner or contractor provides compliance with a newer edition of a

referenced publication, than that which is specified by this code, the AHJ should accept compliance with

the newer edition as evidence of full code compliance with the code.

A.1.4.1.1.1

The intent of 1.4.1.1 and 1.4.1.1.1 is that an AHJ should only approve the use of subsequent editions of

referenced publications when then entire new edition of the referenced standard is utilized. This

paragraph is not intended to permit the use of "cherry picking" specific sections of one edition of a

referenced standard and not utilizing the entire subsequent edition of the referenced standard.

A.1.4.1.1.2

In circumstances where the AHJ is requested to use a specific section in a subsequent edition of a

referenced publication, and not then entire subsequent edition, the AHJ should require technical

documentation submitted in compliance with 1.4.1 or 1.4.2. Before approving the use of specific

sections of subsequent editions of referenced documents, and not the entire edition of the subsequent

edition, the AHJ should ensure that other changes did not occur to the subsequent edition impacting the

overall level of fire and life safety protection.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The Fire Code does an excellent job of telling design professionals, contractors and owners what their obligations are in order toprovide an environment that provides reasonable life safety and property preservation. However, those provisions are only oneside of the safety and economic considerations. The individuals enforcing the code must also be technically competent in orderto ensure the code is correctly enforced. NFPA has established minimum professional competencies for Fire Inspectors, PlansExaminers and Fire Marshals. Those minimum professional competencies should be included as part of a model code. If an AHJchooses to modify those minimum, they can at time of adoption. However, the model provisions in the fire code should expectthat Fire Inspectors, Plans Examiners and Fire Marshals are technically competent to perform their job functions.

Based on the 6/5/2015 Pre-First Draft comments from the TC, this PI was revised to add sections 1.7.2.1.1 an 1.7.2.2.1 whichprovide alternatives to the prescriptive provisions requirement of complying with NFPA 1031 or NFPA 1037.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

It appears the language in this section is intended to provide for a $250 fine when a jurisdiction has not otherwise adopted aseparate fee schedule. That is not how the existing language is written. The intent would be for a jurisdiction to adopt the modelcode and have a violation provision that could then be applied without having to adopt a separate fee schedule. The currentlanguage appears to create an inherent conflict between the 250 and an adopted fee schedule. The remaining languageaddress how violations are usually cited in a per day/per violation format.

This PI was revised based on feedback provided by the TC at the Pre-First Draft meeting on 6/5/2015. The justification forrevising 1.16.4.2 still stands as that section is defective.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

Section 1.12.2.1 states that the permit application shall be accompanied by permit fees as required by the jurisdiction. However,there is no language in NFPA 1 that authorizes the establishment of such fees. As a model code, the administrative provisions ofNFPA 1 should provide a basic authorization for the AHJ to adopt such a fee schedule. The proposal is written in such a mannerto ensure the fees reflect the cost of services required under the code and are not meant to be a funding source beyond thepermitting, plan review and inspection services. This PI was revised based on direction provided by the TC at the Pre-First Draftmeeting on 6/4/2015: 1. The words "that reflect the cost to provide permitting, inspection and plan review services." was struckfrom the end of the proposed language and; 2. New annex text was drafted to provide direction on how to establish service levelsand how fees/revenues should be allocated to cover the cost of services provided under this code and; 3. The section wasrenumbered from 1.12.3 to a new 1.17 with annex text.

The schedule of fees should be established to cover the cost of services required to enforce this code by

conducting plans review and inspection services. The level of service provided is discussed in detail

within NFPA 1730. If fees do not cover the cost of services, then the jurisdiction can choose to subsidize

such fees by funding the inspection and plans review services from the general fund or other revenue

funding mechanism.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

There are many states and jurisdictions that are facing legislatively mandated delays in code adoptions. This creates situationswhere the referenced standard may be four, five or even six editions behind the newest standards and knowledge that isreflected in those newer standards. If this language is adopted in a jurisdiction, then if subsequent editions of codes andstandards are delayed, a contractor or design professional can still design and install to a newer edition with full confidence thatthey are code compliant. In many cases, technology is moving so fast that only the most recent editions of standards adequatelyaddress a design. One obvious example is communication technologies as addressed by NFPA 72. While an AHJ always hasthe ability to accept equivalencies, many AHJ's are reluctant to accept newer editions of standards.

This PI was revised based on the direction of the TC at the Pre-First Draft meeting on 6/5/2015. This includes:

1. Language to address the "cherry picking" issue of specific sections in subsequent editions and;

2. New annex text to ensure the intent is clearly communicated and;

3. Direction on how to proceed when an applicant desires to utilized only specific sections of subsequent editions.

of 207

A.2.1.1

Newer editions referenced publications or standards incorporate advances in knowledge, best practices

and technology. Therefore, if an owner or contractor provides evidence of compliance with a newer

edition of a referenced publication or standard than has been adopted by this code, the AHJ should

accept compliance with the newer edition as evidence of full code compliance with this code and the

referenced publication.

A.2.1.1.1

The intent of section 2.1.1 and 2.1.1.1 is that an AHJ should only approve the use of subsequent editions

of referenced publications when then entire new edition of the referenced standard is utilized. This

section is not intended to permit the use of "cherry picking" specific sections of one edition of a

referenced standard and not utilizing the entire subsequent edition of the referenced standard.

A.2.1.1.2

In circumstances where the AHJ is requested to use a specific section in a subsequent edition of a

referenced publication, and not then entire subsequent edition, the AHJ should require technical

documentation submitted in compliance with section 1.4.1 or 1.4.2. Before approving the use of specific

sections of subsequent editions of referenced documents, and not the entire edition of the subsequent

edition, the AHJ should ensure that other changes did not occur to the subsequent edition impacting the

overall level of fire and life safety protection.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

NFPA 1730 has just been promulgated and contains minimum inspection frequencies for existing occupancies. In order toensure existing occupancies comply with the fire prevention code, a fire prevention inspection is required a part of the standardof care as specified in NFPA 1730. This proposal incorporates that standard of care into NFPA 1. The default is that the local fireAHJ should conduct the inspection in accordance. However, if staffing does not permit or if the local jurisdiction does not have aqualified individual, the owner, occupant or operator can retain an AHJ approved NFPA 1031 qualified individual to conduct theinspection. Thereby, fire code compliance is achieved in accordance with the 1730 standard.

This PI was revised based on direction from the TC at the Pre-First Draft meeting. The following changes were made:

1. Deleted the terms, operator and occupant.

2. Inserted language that permits the AHJ to approve alternative qualifications for the third party inspector.

In addition..

1. The "violations" provisions were deleted as that is already contained in chapter 1 and does not need to be repeated and;

2. Editorial corrections and;

3. Revised 10.2.7 based on the use of the term owner and the responsibilities for notification to provide better clarity and

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

This proposes two changes:

1. the first change is an errata and the change eliminates language that came in by accident and that is not relevant to thesection, in item (6). The heat flux for ASTM E1354 should be referenced in kW/m2 and not in in.

2. the second change is basically editorial: ASTM E648 is the ASTM equivalent to NFPA 253 and both NFPA 101 and NFPA5000 mention ASTM E648 when they mention NFPA 253, since they are equivalent. However labs may have tested to one orthe other and adding this would prevent concerns over whether retesting is needed: it is not needed.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

This is a request to provide clarity on AHJ’s authorities pertaining to the concern, by bringing concepts from the Annex forwardinto the code. This proposal provide flexibility for the AHJ to enforce provisions appropriate to the scale of a project. Forexample, it would be overly restrictive to assume a project would import gravel to cover a 500 acre photovoltaic power plant, andit would be environmentally insensitive to do so.

The rate of ground-mounted photovoltaic system installations is increasing, but for many jurisdictions nation-wide, this is stillconsidered a new or first-time development. The risks and hazards also differ widely when the installation is ground-mount vs.rooftop. As a result, many AHJ’s may not have much familiarity with large-scale ground-mount installations, nor would they beas familiar with applying the appropriate interpretations when the code does not clearly address this. The goal is to provideAHJs with the resource and guidance to properly evaluate these types of projects.

Another impacting concern is the environmental aspect. There are a variety of environmental factors considered asdevelopment and permitting challenges as ground-mount projects undergo Environmental Impact Studies (CEQA/NEPA) andConditional Use Permit processing. Environmental requirements that would directly conflict with the literal requirement for onlygravel or non-combustible bases underneath the system installation include, but are not limited to:

- Dust Control (Air)

- Water usage limitations in dry areas (Water)

- Logistics to transport/haul/lay gravel (Water/Sustainability/Air Emissions)

- Native Revegetation (Flora)

- Natural Habitat Preservation (Flora/Fauna)

A project plan requiring a ‘noncombustible’ or gravel base for large-scale PV installation would never be permitted because ofthese reasons. All project permits for large PV installations require minimally invasive surface preparation techniques andnatural vegetation recruitment or revegetation to greater or lesser extents during the operation of the power plant as a defaultrequirement.

As a point of reference, as of 2015, a 1 MW installation would require approximately 5-7 acres of solar arrays. The 3 largestground-mount projects in the United States range from 550-580 MW (over 3000 acres). A 20 MW project would cover around100 acres. Graveling these types of installations would be deemed infeasible because of the environmental impacts associatedwith hauling gravel to remote areas and the need to preserve natural habitats for sensitive or endangered species.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

This proposed change to NFPA 1 is important in distinguishing the differences between safe use of torches or tar kettles andrubberized asphalt melters on roof decks. Both operations need safeguards against the potential for fire, but with differentconstraints. The proposed text separates out rubberized asphalt melters for use on roof decks brings with it recognition of fire


111 of 178 1/29/2016 12:24 PM

safety as a part of that process.

Rubberized asphalt melters operate and perform differently from tar kettles. Importantly, the fuel used to provide indirect heatingto the rubberized asphalt melter is diesel, there are temperature controls inherent in melters in part due to the need to maintainthe roofing material at 350 to 380 degrees F. Overheating into the temperature range of ordinary combustibles makes therubberized asphalt product unsuitable for roof deck application. Because of the lower application temperature onnoncombustible roof decks the opportunity for fire with this method is greatly decreased when compared to tar kettles andtorches.

The new text for Rubberized Asphalt Melters is consistent with the intent of the code while providing important differentiationsfrom the more hazardous operations involving open flames and tar kettles.

A.18.2.3.3

Access roads that are below the 100 year base flood elevation and roadways that could be blocked by

frequent rail traffic are two types of conditions that could limit access in an emergency and warrant an

additional access roadway. Requiring additional access roads based on congestion should be based on a

traffic impact analysis of the proposed development. This type of analysis is typically conducted by a

transportation/traffic engineer and occurs at the cost of the developer. The Code avoids establishing a

specific threshold mandating multiple-access roads as the potential congestion conditions are so

variable that prescriptive language is not justified. The AHJ has the authority to require a study of the

traffic conditions resulting from a development and the subsequent need for additional access via

Section 1.15.

Where parking is permitted along the access road, the unobstructed width is not intended to include the

width of the parking.

A.18.2.3.4.1.2

One condition to consider in reducing access road width would be intended travel in one direction only.

A.18.2.3.4.2

It is not the intent of 18.2.3.4.2 to restrict the design of fire department access roads to traditional, non-

permeable materials such as asphalt or concrete. Permeable materials, pavers, or other designs may be

utilized if approved by the AHJ and meet the loading requirements in all weather conditions. In

considering whether to approve non-traditional materials, the AHJ should consider maintenance issues

due to weather and traffic.

The designer and AHJ should consider the point loads created by fire department aerial apparatus

stabilizers in the design of fire department access roads. NFPA 1901 limits the pressure exerted over the

ground contact under the apparatus stabilizer to 75 psi (517 kPa). The 75 psi (517 kPa) design

specification, along with a safety margin, should be included in the design of fire department access

roads that would be utilized as a base to operate fire department aerial apparatus.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

If electric gates are used to control access on fire access roads, gate operators listed to UL 325 have been evaluated toprevent entrapment, and to reliably operate.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued safety alerts over defective automatic sliding gates. From 1990 to 2000,CPSC has estimated that nearly 25,000 people were involved in automatic gate-related injuries, including 9,000 children under15 years old. Each year over 2,000 people, including 800 children, are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries to thehead, neck, arm, or hand due to automatic sliding gate defects.

CPSC worked with UL to develop tougher safety standards that require automatic gates to have at least two mechanisms toprevent entrapment. These UL 325 provisions are similar to the standards in effect for automatic garage doors. The UL 325standard, which UL adopted in March 2000, requires an internal sensing device that will reverse the gate if it encounters anobstruction when opening or closing; and a secondary external sensing mechanism, such as an electric eye or an edge sensorthat will reverse the gate if an obstruction is detected.

For these reasons, a new section is proposed which would uniquely apply to pallet manufacturing and recycling facilities. Theintent of the new section is to reduce the likelihood of fire at pallet manufacturing and recycling facilities through best practices.In the event that a fire does occur, measures are described that will mitigate the spread of fire to adjoining structures andproperties through the establishment of pallet pile spacing between buildings and property lines.

The International Fire Marshals Association developed a Task Group to look into mobile and temporary cooking operations afterrecent events involving them along with a lack of regulation for the increasing number of temporary and mobile cooking units.Currently there is no one place to find all the requirements for mobile and temporary cooking operations. The proposed textbrings together requirement from NFPA 1 and 58 to aid the user of the document. The remaining text brings in commonrequirements for an operation i.e. permits, portable fire extinguishers, training and other, appropriate to NFPA 1. A definition ofmobile or temporary cooking was added to Chapter 3 to assist in the application of this new section.

A.12.3.3

Fire-resistive construction also includes fire-resistive coatings and sprayed fire-resistive materials, as well as membrane andthrough-penetration firestops and fire-resistive joint systems. It is important to conduct periodic inspections of fire-resistiveconstruction, especially these elements and components that are directly visible or readily accessible for inspection.

Inspections of sprayed fire-resistive materials and coatings are especially important since they can be subject to delamination,removal, physical abuse, deterioration, and degradation over time. Periodic inspections should be able to identify apparentdeficiencies, especially where they crumble or fall off when touched. When such conditions are identified, they should be furtherinspected or tested by qualified third parties to verify their integrity and effectiveness. Where they are found to be deficient,appropriate corrective action should be taken to restore them to their original condition.

Tested and listed firestop systems should be installed to the listing in order to perform as expected. Systems installed in accordancewith an engineering judgment (EJ) should be installed in accordance with the EJ. The firestop systems should be inspectedperiodically to assure continued performance. To inspect firestops, the listed system design or EJ should be accessible. Firestopinstallations are only able to be identified by the listing design, the listing references, the materials to be used, and installationparameters. Without the listing, neither the inspector, building owner, nor building management company has any idea how toinspect or repair the firestop systems.

Firestop systems can be marked at the location of the installation using a variety of methods from paper labels to complex plastictear-away labels, ceramic fiber, or metal tags. These can be attached to the assembly or to the penetrating item(s). A variety ofmarking methods can be used and they should provide important information, such as the listing number, date, manufacturer, andinstalling contractor.

The installation of backflow prevention devices on services supplying water to existing fire protection systems can result in excessivepressure losses. Therefore, installation of backflow prevention devices to protect public health has to be accomplished with dueregard for the implications on fire protection. The provisions of AWWA Manual 14 M14 , Backflow Prevention and Cross-ConnectionControl: Recommended Practices , should be used as a guide for determining the appropriate protection for public health. Hydrauliccalculations and water supply analysis should be conducted prior to installation to determine the impact on fire protection.

Chapter 61 provides minimum acceptable requirements for fire prevention and protection in facilities that manufacture and storeaerosol products and in mercantile occupancies where aerosol products are displayed and sold. As explained in A.5.1 of NFPA 30B,the hazards presented by each stage of the manufacturing process will vary, depending on the flammability of the base product andon the flammability of the propellant. Considerable judgment will be required of the designer and of the AHJ to provide an adequatelevel of fire protection. (See also Annex B of NFPA 30B, Mechanism of Fire Growth in Aerosol Containers .) [30B:A.1.2]

Aerosol products in storage or mercantile occupancies complying with this chapter, and covered by 60.1.2(9) , are not required tocomply with Sections 60.1 through 60.4 .
