Public Input No. 13-NFPA 170-2012 [ Global Input ]

3.3.3 Photoluminescent.

A type of sign that is self -energized with respect to luminosi ty and requi res noexternal power source.

A.4.1.3

Photoluminescent materials in compliance with UL1994 can be used.Consideration needs to be given to the proper mounting of photoluminescentsymbols in well-lighted location to ensure charging by exposure to ambientlight.

A.5.1.3.

Photoluminescent materials in compliance with UL1994 can be used.Consideration needs to be given to the proper mounting of photoluminescent

in well-lighted location to ensure charging by exposure to ambient light.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input

I propose to replace the term "self-luminous" with "photoluminescent" throughout NFPA170. It is obvious from the material description in A.4.1.3 and A.5.1.3 that the intent ofNFPA 170 is to describe the photoluminescent feature.UL924 Standard 9th edition describes the term "self-luminous" as follows:4.48 SELF-LUMINOUS EXIT SIGN A sign with an integral legally required legend that ispoweredcontinuously by a self-contained energy source other than a battery, such as radioactivetritium gas.

Operation of a self-luminous exit sign is independent of external power supplies or otherexternal formsof energy. This definition does not include exit signs dependent upon photoluminescentmaterials.UL924 Standard 9th edition describes the term "photoluminescent" as follows:4.38 PHOTOLUMINESCENT Having the property of emitting light that continues for alength of timeafter excitation by visible or invisible light has been removed.Emergency Evacuation Diagrams and Plans are not made using radioactive self-luminousmaterial and not made using reflective material (reflective material is typically used on carlicense plates and traffic signs). Yet, Emergency Evacuation Diagrams and Plans are quitefrequently made using photoluminescent material which charges when ambient lighting ison and emits its (non-electrical, non-radioactive) luminance in full darkness for buildingoccupants to read in darkness scenarios.

Not an ExitAccording to Ms. Sandra Stanek CFPS, the square field characteristic of the symboldescribes the emergency exit symbol (see note below). If this is the case, then the firstcharacteristic should be the Red Prohibition Symbol which describes the general shape orfield of the concerned symbol. I used the "Red Prohibition Symbol" term in reference to4.1.3.2.1. where the specifications of the prohibition symbol can be found. This term is alsoused in the characteristics of "No Fire Fighting" symbol.

The "Background white" characteristic follows right after the "Red Prohibition Symbol"characteristic. This arrangement would naturally describes the background color of theprohibition symbol as white.

Note: I raised the issue of the square field to Ms. Stanek CFPS through email and her replywas: Question #2 Not an exit. The door itself is square encased within the red circle &diagonal slash.

Fire Department Automatic Sprinkler Connection - SiameseThe proposed change will prevent confusion with the first example of Fire Department

Automatic Sprinkler Connection - Single.

Emergency TelephoneThe proposed change shall identify the standard field of the symbol. A rectangular field canalso be used alternatively. Whichever the shape will be used, it must be included in thecorresponding characteristics column of the symbol. The chosen shape or field should bethe first characteristic to achieve consistency with other symbols' characteristics.

No Fire FightingHaving the octagonal field as the first characteristic in the column can result in a little bit ofconfusion until you analyze the symbol and its characteristics more closely. Since the firstcharacteristic of the preceding symbols (except for Emergency Telephone) describes theoverall shape of these symbols, the No Fire Fighting symbol should follow also this format.Hence, the proposed change.

SCBA symbolThe symbol should have a square field to achieve consistency with the correspondingcharacteristic.

Firefighting Hose or Standpipe Outlet SymbolAccording to Ms. Sandra Stanek, CFPS, this symbol can be used for Class II and IIIstandpipes. This symbol should not be used for Class II standpipe (or occupant use) so asnot to confuse with Fire Hose or Standpipe symbol for General Use (Table 4.2, page 170-12). For Class III standpipes, the appropriate symbol would be the Fire DepartmentStandpipe Connection symbol (Table 5.2, page 170-14) with a white flame beside it.Having a different symbol for each class of standpipe could prevent confusion and delay inresponse to fire. A firefighter carrying a hose could be mistakenly led to Class II standpipe

instead to Class III in case there is no Class I standpipe in the stairwell.

Table 6.3.3 fails to recognize and differentiate between the types of construction defined inNFPA 5000. NFPA 5000 offers the following four definitions:3.3.674.3 Fire Barrier Wall. A wall, other than a fire wall, having a fire resistance rating.3.3.674.4 Fire Wall. A wall separating buildings or subdividing a building to prevent the

spread of fire and having a fire resistance rating and structural stability.3.3.474.2 Smoke Partition. A continuous membrane that is designed to form a barrier to

limit the transfer of smoke.

3.3.51.2 Smoke Battier. A continuous membrane, or a membrane with discontinuitiescreated by protected openings, where such membrane is designed and constructed torestrict the movement of smoke.Most noticeably, there is a technical difference between a fire wall and a fire barrier wall

and Table 6.3.3 does not recognize this difference. Furthermore, Table 6.3.3 does notprovide a symbol for a smoke partition, which is different than a smoke barrier.As an example, Table 6.3.3 provides a symbol for a 2-hour fire rated wall. Thus, using thedefinition in NFPA 5000, which is used throughout the NFPA standards, this symbol is tobe used for a free-standing wall having structural stability (i.e., a wall separating bays in awarehouse or a wall providing separation between transformers). This symbol cannot beused to identify a stairway enclosure in a high rise building because those walls do nothave structural stability. The table does not provide a symbol for a 2-hour fire barrier walltypically found in a building.My proposed corrections identifies the additional symbols and definitions that are required

to provide a complete listing. Also please note that no NFPA standard or nationallyrecognized building code recognizes or requires a 3/4-hour barrier wall; the symbol shouldeliminated.

All of the rated designations are shown as fire rated walls. NFPA differentiates betweenfire walls and fire barriers. There should be a way to differentiate between these on thedrawings. By changing the line type and the description of the line type, it is easier for adesigner to indicate what is intended by the fire resistance rating applied to the partition. Inaddition, the current line types are not standard AutoCad line types and as such, usingthem requires additional steps to be taken to import the line type to the .dwg file. This

creates problems when files are transferred digitally and edited by multiplearchitects/engineers.

1. The line type shown for "Water Main Under Building" is not a standard AutoCad linetype. As such it must be created for each drawing in order to follow this standard. Whenthis happens, extra files are required to be transmitted with the digital version of thedrawing in order for the line type to appear properly on another machine.2. Meter types were not specified even though the comment noted "indicate type." Metertypes were added in order to standardize subscripts that are associated with the metersymbol.

The sprinkler guard symbol can easily be mistaken for a sprinkler or standpipe riserbecause the "X" goes through the whole circle. With the X removed from the middle andonly showing on the outside, not only is the symbol less confusing, but also it lets the planreviewer see more easily what type of sprinkler is being represented, especially if there isonly one sprinkler guard in a room.

Section 12 - Fire Apparatus Safety Symbols

Please see pdf attachment.

Addi tional Proposed Changes

File Name Description Approved

FAMA_Automotive_Fire_Apparatus_Safety_Signs_120906.pdfProposedSection 12


Background Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services Department took delivery of a new 100aerial platform in the fall of 2011. The first thing to impress me about this new fire truckwas the abundance of safety symbols for everything imaginable. I counted 24 differentsymbols. In January I walked the vendor exhibit floor at Fire Rescue East, Daytona Beach,Florida and noted that several apparatus manufacturers were also using safety symbols,however they were all different. NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatusrequires signage, but not symbols as follows:Section 4.9.4 requires that these signs be in compliance with ANZI Z535.4.Section 14.1.3.8 requires a seat belt sign.Section 15.7.5 requires a sign prohibiting riding on the rear step.Section 19.18.3 requires a sign on aerials about the electrocution hazard.Section 19.23.1.2 requires additional signage on aerials.

On February 2, 2012 I requested that the NFPA 170 Technical Committee form a FireApparatus Safety Symbol Task Group. That Group was approved by Sandra Stanek,

NFPA on February 21, 2012.

A survey was mailed to fifty major fire apparatus manufacturers from a FAMA (FireApparatus Manufactuers Assocition) list on March 8, 2012.

Many FAMA compnaies responded to the survey.

On or about April 25, 2012 Roger Lakore, a FAMA member, requested that FAMA take thelead on developing a proposal. The NFPA Task Group held further action and transmittedall information received to the FAMA Task Group.

The FAMA Task Group met at least twice and through additional communication developeda "white paper" recommending standard fire apparatus safety symbols.

This proposal seeks to incorporate the work done by the NFPA Task Group and the FAMATask Group into a new Chapter 12 in NFPA 170.

FAMA Product Safety Signs for Automotive Fire Apparatus - 2 -

3 DEFINITIONS

3.1 Product Safety Sign

Sign, label, or decal affixed to a product that provides safety information concerning the hazard, the degree or level ofhazard seriousness, the probable consequence of involvement with the hazard, and how the hazard can be avoided.

4 GENERAL

4.1 New product safety sign ideas should be forwarded to FAMA. The FAMA Product Safety Sign group will considenew ideas at each FAMA technical committee meeting and add new text and artwork as appropriate.

4.2 The product safety signs shown in this document are designed for sufficiency of text and graphic size with respecto each hazard.

4.3 Limitations inherent in some reproduction and display technologies may require increased line thickness or otheminor modifications of symbols. Such modifications are acceptable provided the symbol is unchanged in its basicgraphical elements and remains easily discernible by the operator.

4.4 To improve the appearance and perceptibility of a safety sign, or to coordinate with the design of the equipment to

which the sign is applied, it may be necessary to change the line thickness or round the corners of a symbol. Thegraphic designer is free to make such changes, provided that the essential perceptual characteristics of the symboare maintained.

4.5 Some of the product safety signs included in this document are provided with textless two-panel versionsdeveloped using the guidelines found in ISO ISO 7010. These versions may be used in place of the ANSI Z535.4signs at the option of the manufacturer.

4.6 Symbols on controls and displays shall have good contrast to their background. Pictorials may use either a lighsymbol on a dark background or a dark symbol on a light background at the manufacturers discretion. When apictorial image is reversed (for example, from black-on-white to white-on-black and vice versa), it shall be done forthe entire pictorial.

4.7 Product safety signs should be located as close as practical to the recommended locations.

4.8 Reference numbers are provided as a convenience to the organization of this document and need not appear onthe final product.

4.9 Product safety sign graphic thumbnails are provided in this document. Full scale artwork can be downloaded fromthe FAMA website at www.FAMA.org.

4.10 All standard ISO version signs are 6.65 in. tall by 3.35 in. wide.

4.11 Font sizes are based on using Microsoft Sans Serif.

5 NFPA APPARATUS STANDARD COMPLIANCE

5.1 NFPA 1901 and NFPA 1906 include certain detailed specifications for safety sign text that address specifichazards. These standards also state that Safety-related (caution, warning, danger) signs shall meet therequirements of ANSI Z535.4, Product Safety Signs and Labels. The detailed text spelled out in the NFPAstandards, however, does not necessarily conform to the ANSI Z535.4 format. This presents the apparatusmanufacturer with a conflict of either providing the text verbatim from the NFPA standard, or modifying the text tocomply with the ANSI Z535.4 guidelines. The safety signs provided in this document address this conflict bypresenting safety signs that meet the letter of the ANSI Z535.4 guidelines while remaining as true as possible to theintent of detailed text found in the NFPA apparatus standards. It is the intent of the authors of this paper to suggeschanges to the NFPA documents that will resolve these conflicts for future revisions.
