A compilation of NFPA TechnicalCommittee Reports on Proposals for public review and comment

Public Comment Deadline: August 30, 2011

Information on NFPA Codes and Standards Development

I. Applicable Regulations. The primary rules governing the processing of NFPA documents (codes, standards, recommended practices, and guides) are the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects (Regs). Other applicable rules include NFPA Bylaws, NFPA Technical Meeting Convention Rules, NFPA Guide for the Conduct of Participants in the NFPA Standards Development Process, and the NFPA Regulations Governing Petitions to the Board of Directors from Decisions of the Standards Council. Most of these rules and regulations are contained in the NFPA Directory. For copies of the Directory, contact Codes and Standards Administration at NFPA Headquarters; all these documents are also available on the NFPA website at www.nfpa.org.

The following is general information on the NFPA process. All participants, however, should refer to the actual rules and regulations for a full understanding of this process and for the criteria that govern participation.

II. Technical Committee Report. The Technical Committee Report is defined as the Report of the Technical Committee and Technical Correlating Committee (if any) on a document consisting of the ROP and ROC. A Technical Committee Report consists of the Report on Proposals (ROP), as modified by the Report on Comments (ROC), published by the Association.

III. Step 1: Report on Proposals (ROP). The ROP is defined as a report to the Association on the actions taken by Technical Committees and/or Technical Correlating Committees, accompanied by a ballot statement and one or more proposals on text for a new document or to amend an existing document. Any objection to an action in the ROP must be raised through the filing of an appropriate Comment for consideration in the ROC or the objection will be considered resolved. IV. Step 2: Report on Comments (ROC). The ROC is defined as a report to the Association on the actions taken by Technical Committees and/or Technical Correlating Committees accompanied by a ballot statement and one or more comments resulting from public review of the Report on Proposals (ROP). The ROP and the ROC together constitute the Technical Committee Report. Any outstanding objection following the ROC must be raised through an appropriate Amending Motion at the Association Technical Meeting or the objection will be considered resolved.

V. Step 3a: Action at Association Technical Meeting. Following the publication of the ROC, there is a period during which those wishing to make proper Amending Motions on the Technical Committee Reports must signal their intention by submitting a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion. Documents that receive notice of proper Amending Motions (Certified Amending Motions) will be presented for action at the annual June Association Technical Meeting. At the meeting, the NFPA membership can consider and act on these Certified Amending Motions as well as Follow-up Amending Motions, that is, motions that become necessary as a result of a previous successful Amending Motion. (See 4.6.2 through 4.6.9 of Regs for a summary of the available Amending Motions and who may make them.) Any outstanding objection following action at an Association Technical Meeting (and any further Technical Committee consideration following successful Amending Motions, see Regs at 4.7) must be raised through an appeal to the Standards Council or it will be considered to be resolved.

VI. Step 3b: Documents Forwarded Directly to the Council. Where no Notice of Intent to Make a Motion (NITMAM) is received and certified in accordance with the Technical Meeting Convention Rules, the document is forwarded directly to the Standards Council for action on issuance. Objections are deemed to be resolved for these documents. VII. Step 4a: Council Appeals. Anyone can appeal to the Standards Council concerning procedural or substantive matters related to the development, content, or issuance of any document of the Association or on matters within the purview of the authority of the Council, as established by the Bylaws and as determined by the Board of Directors. Such appeals must be in written form and filed with the Secretary of the Standards Council (see 1.6 of Regs). Time constraints for filing an appeal must be in accordance with 1.6.2 of the Regs. Objections are deemed to be resolved if not pursued at this level.

VIII. Step 4b: Document Issuance. The Standards Council is the issuer of all documents (see Article 8 of Bylaws). The Council acts on the issuance of a document presented for action at an Association Technical Meeting within 75 days from the date of the recommendation from the Association Technical Meeting, unless this period is extended by the Council (see 4.8 of Regs). For documents forwarded directly to the Standards Council, the Council acts on the issuance of the document at its next scheduled meeting, or at such other meeting as the Council may determine (see 4.5.6 and 4.8 of Regs).

IX. Petitions to the Board of Directors. The Standards Council has been delegated the responsibility for the administration of the codes and standards development process and the issuance of documents. However, where extraordinary circumstances requiring the intervention of the Board of Directors exist, the Board of Directors may take any action necessary to fulfill its obligations to preserve the integrity of the codes and standards development process and to protect the interests of the Association. The rules for petitioning the Board of Directors can be found in the Regulations Governing Petitions to the Board of Directors from Decisions of the Standards Council and in 1.7 of the Regs.

X. For More Information. The program for the Association Technical Meeting (as well as the NFPA website as information becomes available) should be consulted for the date on which each report scheduled for consideration at the meeting will be presented. For copies of the ROP and ROC as well as more information on NFPA rules and for up-to-date information on schedules and deadlines for processing NFPA documents, check the NFPA website (www.nfpa.org) or contact NFPA Codes & Standards Administration at (617) 984-7246.

A properly installed and maintained system should be free of ground faults. The occurrence of one or more ground faults should be required to cause a trouble signal because it indicates a condition that could contribute to future malfunction of the system. Ground fault protection has been widely available on these systems for years and its cost is negligible. Requiring it on all systems will promote better installations, maintenance and reliability.

Sequence of Events Leading to Issuance of an NFPA Committee Document

Step 1 Call for Proposals

Proposed new document or new edition of an existing document is entered into one of two yearly revision cycles, and a Call for Proposals is published.

Step 2 Report on Proposals (ROP)

Committee meets to act on Proposals, to develop its own Proposals, and to prepare its Report. Committee votes by written ballot on Proposals. If two-thirds approve, Report goes forward. Lacking two-thirds approval, Report returns to Committee.

Report on Proposals (ROP) is published for public review and comment. Step 3 Report on Comments (ROC)

Committee meets to act on Public Comments to develop its own Comments, and to prepare its report. Committee votes by written ballot on Comments. If two-thirds approve, Report goes forward. Lacking two-thirds approval, Report returns to Committee.

Report on Comments (ROC) is published for public review. Step 4 Association Technical Meeting

Notices of intent to make a motion are filed, are reviewed, and valid motions are certified for presentation at the Association Technical Meeting. (Consent Documents that have no certified motions bypass the Association Technical Meeting and proceed to the Standards Council for issuance.)

NFPA membership meets each June at the Association Technical Meeting and acts on Technical Committee Reports (ROP and ROC) for documents with certified amending motions.

Committee(s) vote on any amendments to Report approved at NFPA Association Technical Meeting. Step 5 Standards Council Issuance

Notification of intent to file an appeal to the Standards Council on Association action must be filed within 20 days of the NFPA Association Technical Meeting.

Standards Council decides, based on all evidence, whether or not to issue document or to take other action, including hearing any appeals.

The Association Technical Meeting

The process of public input and review does not end with the publication of the ROP and ROC. Following the completion of the Proposal and Comment periods, there is yet a further opportunity for debate and discussion through the Association Technical Meeting that takes place at the NFPA Annual Meeting.

The Association Technical Meeting provides an opportunity for the final Technical Committee Report (i.e., the ROP and ROC) on each proposed new or revised code or standard to be presented to the NFPA membership for the debate and consideration of motions to amend the Report. The specific rules for the types of motions that can be made and who can make them are set forth in the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects (Regs), which should always be consulted by those wishing to bring an issue before the membership at an Association Technical Meeting. The following presents some of the main features of how a Report is handled.

The Filing of a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion. Before making an allowable motion at an Association Technical Meeting, the intended maker of the motion must file, in advance of the session, and within the published deadline, a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion. A Motions Committee appointed by the Standards Council then reviews all notices and certifies all amending motions that are proper. The Motions Committee can also, in consultation with the makers of the motions, clarify the intent of the motions and, in certain circumstances, combine motions that are dependent on each other together so that they can be made in one single motion. A Motions Committee report is then made available in advance of the meeting listing all certified motions. Only these Certified Amending Motions, together with certain allowable Follow-Up Motions (that is, motions that have become necessary as a result of previous successful amending motions) will be allowed at the Association Technical Meeting.

Consent Documents. Often there are codes and standards up for consideration by the membership that will be noncontroversial and no proper Notices of Intent to Make a Motion will be filed. These Consent Documents will bypass the Association Technical Meeting and head straight to the Standards Council for issuance. The remaining documents are then forwarded to the Association Technical Meeting for consideration of the NFPA membership.

What Amending Motions Are Allowed. The Technical Committee Reports contain many Proposals and Comments that the Technical Committee has rejected or revised in whole or in part. Actions of the Technical Committee published in the ROP may also eventually be rejected or revised by the Technical Committee during the development of its ROC. The motions allowed by NFPA rules provide the opportunity to propose amendments to the text of a proposed code or standard based on these published Proposals, Comments, and Committee actions. Thus, the list of allowable motions include motions to accept Proposals and Comments in whole or in part as submitted or as modified by a Technical Committee action. Motions are also available to reject an accepted Comment in whole or part. In addition, Motions can be made to return an entire Technical Committee Report or a portion of the Report to the Technical Committee for further study.

The NFPA Annual Meeting, also known as the NFPA Conference & Expo, takes place in June of each year. A second Fall membership meeting was discontinued in 2004, so the NFPA Technical Committee Report Session now runs once each year at the Annual Meeting in June.

Who Can Make Amending Motions. NFPA rules also define those authorized to make amending motions. In many cases, the maker of the motion is limited by NFPA rules to the original submitter of the Proposal or Comment or his or her duly authorized representative. In other cases, such as a Motion to Reject an accepted Comment, or to Return a Technical Committee Report or a portion of a Technical Committee Report for Further Study, anyone can make these motions. For a complete explanation, the NFPA Regs should be consulted.

Action on Motions at the Association Technical Meeting. In order to actually make a Certified Amending Motion at the Association Technical Meeting, the maker of the motion must sign in at least an hour before the session begins. In this way a final list of motions can be set in advance of the session. At the session, each proposed document up for consideration is presented by a motion to adopt the Technical Committee Report on the document. Following each such motion, the presiding officer in charge of the session opens the floor to motions on the document from the final list of Certified Amending Motions followed by any permissible Follow-Up Motions. Debate and voting on each motion proceeds in accordance with NFPA Regs. NFPA membership is not required in order to make or speak to a motion, but voting is limited to NFPA members who have joined at least 180 days prior to the Association Technical Meeting and have registered for the meeting. At the close of debate on each motion, voting takes place, and the motion requires a majority vote to carry. In order to amend a Technical Committee Report, successful amending motions must be confirmed by the responsible Technical Committee, which conducts a written ballot on all successful amending motions following the meeting and prior to the document being forwarded to the Standards Council for issuance.

Standards Council Issuance

One of the primary responsibilities of the NFPA Standards Council, as the overseer of the NFPA codes and standards development process, is to act as the official issuer of all NFPA codes and standards. When it convenes to issue NFPA documents, it also hears any appeals related to the document. Appeals are an important part of assuring that all NFPA rules have been followed and that due process and fairness have been upheld throughout the codes and standards development process. The Council considers appeals both in writing and through the conduct of hearings at which all interested parties can participate. It decides appeals based on the entire record of the process as well as all submissions on the appeal. After deciding all appeals related to a document before it, the Council, if appropriate, proceeds to issue the document as an official NFPA code or standard. Subject only to limited review by the NFPA Board of Directors, the decision of the Standards Council is final, and the new NFPA code or standard becomes effective twenty days after Standards Council issuance.

The TCs action on ROP 80-2, which requested that the committee update all references to other organizations documents, was to complete this task at the ROC stage but it was not addressed. Throughout this current revision process for NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, the Technical Committee overlooked updates to other organizations references. References to ASTM E2074 and ASTM E 2010 have been withdrawn by ASTM and are removed as references in Annex D. This TIA, which is of emergency nature as defined by the Regulations Governing Committee Projects Section 5.2 (a), updates the references throughout the document. Committee Meeting Action: Accept in PrincipleAccept proposed revisions with the following modification: ASME A17.1-2007/CSA B44-07, Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators, 2004 including Addenda ASME A17.1a-2005 and ASME A17.1S-2005 .Committee Statement: The Committee has reviewed the referenced documents and, assuming there may be additional revisions necessary, will make final updates at the ROC meeting.

The bottom part of an opening over which a fire door closes. Substantiation: Currently, there is no definition of sill in NFPA 80. Providing this definition clarifies the use of the term throughout the document and supports the changes made in 80-13 (Log #CP17).

Changes,not otherwise permitted by this standard, made to a listed assembly or component after it has been manufactured. A.3.3.46 During installation, preparations made to fire door assemblies, such as those contained in Chapter 4, are not considered to be field modifications.Substantiation: This change clarifies the application of Section 5.1.2 on field modifications and also provides further clarification to the Authority Having Jurisdiction as to what changes to a fire door should be regulated as a field modification. The change also helps to differentiate between modifications to a fire door assembly and those allowable changes necessary for job site preparation work. Committee Meeting Action: AcceptNumber Eligible to Vote: 25 Ballot Results: Affirmative: 24 Ballot Not Returned: 1 Patton, V.Comment on Affirmative: JANICAK, T.: Recent discussions have indicated that the language as proposed will need clarification. I believe the intent of the committee is to permit the provisions of Section 4.1.3 to be performed during the useful life of the fire door and not only during the initial installation. The appendix note included with this proposal can be clarified as follows: Preparations made to fire door assemblies as defined in Section 4.3.1 can be performed throughout the useful life of the fire door. They are not to be considered Field Modifications as defined in Section 3.3.46. PARDOE, K.: Substantiation: Section 5.1.2 should be 5.1.4 in New Chapter 5 (80-17 Log #CP15). _______________________________________________________________ 80-7 Log #16 Final Action: Accept(3.3.50 Fire Door Assembly)_______________________________________________________________ Submitter: Kurt A. Roeper, Ingersoll-Rand Security TechnologiesRecommendation: Revise text to read as follows: 3.3.50 Fire Door Assembly. Any combination of a fire door, a frame, hardware, and other accessories that together provide a specific degree of fire protection or fire resistance to the opening.Substantiation: Fire door assemblies provide either fire protection or fire resistance, depending upon the application. Revising the definition as proposed clarifies this fact. Committee Meeting Action: AcceptNumber Eligible to Vote: 25 Ballot Results: Affirmative: 22 Negative: 2 Ballot Not Returned: 1 Patton, V.Explanation of Negative: KOFFEL, W.: I disagree with the revision to the definition. Fire resistance rated doors (and glazing) are not considered opening protectives by the building codes. Paragraph 1.1.4 states that the standard does not address fire resistance rated glazing and certain types of doors. If the change is appropriate, it would seem as if the same change should be made to the definition of fire window assembly. If we consider a fire resistance rated door an opening protective, it would be regulated by the opening protection limits in the building codes. PARDOE, K.: I agree with Mr. Koffels comment that was circulated on March 25th.

Revise text to read as follows:6.1.2* Components. A fire door assembly shall consist of components that are separate products incorporated into the assembly and are allowed to have their own subcomponents. A.6.1.2 The normal components of a fire door assembly include a door, a door frame, hinges, a lock or latch, and a closing device. They also include, but are not limited to, an astragal, a split astragal, an automatic louver, a coordinator, flush or surface bolts, gasketing, a holder/release device, protection plates, and glazing materials. 4.2.5 Components. 4.2.5.1 A fire door assembly shall consist of components that are separate products incorporated into the assembly and are allowed to have their own subcomponents. 4.2.5.2* Except where restricted by individual published listings, a fire door assembly shall be permitted to consist of the labeled, listed, or classified components of different organizations that are acceptable to the AHJ. A.4.2.5.2 Because component elements that are not part of an assembly listing can be interchanged on a listed fire door it is the intent of this committee to permit a component part listed by one organization acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction to be installed on a door listed by another such organization. 2. Revise Annex K as follows and renumber as needed:K.1 Except where restricted by individual published listings, a fire door assembly is permitted to consist of the labeled, listed, or classified components of different organizations that are acceptable to the AHJ Substantiation: The text is consistent with industry practice. In previous editions of the standard, this information has been contained partly in Chapter 6 and partly in the annex but this was not the appropriate location for the requirement. Moving both sections to Chapter 4 allows the requirement to be applied to all fire doors. This change is consistent with changes made by other model Codes.

Roeper, Ingersoll-Rand Security TechnologiesRecommendation: Revise text to read as follows: 4.3.3 Fire doors furnished with or prepared for fire exit hardware shall bear a label stating Fire Door to Be Equipped with Fire Exit Hardware. Substantiation: Section 4.3.2 recognizes that fire doors and builders hardware are permitted to be supplied separately, yet 4.3.3 only covers situations where fire exit hardware is furnished with fire exit hardware. The proposed language reflects the current industry practice as well as the provisions of manufacturers labeling procedures. Committee Meeting Action: AcceptNumber Eligible to Vote: 25 Ballot Results: Affirmative: 24 Ballot Not Returned: 1 Patton, V.

_______________________________________________________________ 80-11 Log #11 Final Action: Accept in Principle(4.4.3.1 and A.4.4.3.1)_______________________________________________________________ Submitter: Thomas Zaremba, Roetzel and AndressRecommendation: Add at the end of current section 4.4.3.1:Vision panel kits consisting of multiple pieces (stick kits) shall be installed by the manufacturer of the door or a distributor with inspection service procedure under label service. Installation of two piece metal vision panel kits shall be permitted in the field. Revise Appendix A.4.4.3.1: The 2010 version of NFPA 80 has been modified to now require that stick kits containing multiple parts be installed by the door manufacturer. Otherwise, two piece metal vision panels in new wood fire doors may be have the glazing and light kits installed in the fieldat the door manufacturer or under theat manufacturers label service. This ensures that all components of complex stick kitsthe glazed assembly in the new wood door have been properly installed per the manufacturers follow-up service procedure. Substantiation: As currently, written, this provision is unduly restrictive in limiting installation of all light kits in new wood doors to the door manufacturer. Installation by the door manufacturer or a distributor under label service is important when stick kits involving multiple parts, including special clips or tapes, are involved. However, it is totally unnecessary when two piece metal kits are involved since those are made to fit only the cutout in the door and when glass is furnished, it can only fit those kits. The installation of two piece metal kits are routinely and properly installed in the field without special training or qualifications. Committee Meeting Action: Accept in PrincipleRevise text to read as follows: 4.4.3.1 For new wood doors, glazing materials in vision panels shall be installed in labeled glass light kits or in accordance with the fire door listing and shall be installed in accordance with inspection service procedure under label service or by certified or listed personnel. Committee Statement: Over the past years, there has been discussion in the fire door industry regarding glazing certification programs and there is currently a need for a certification and listing requirement for these products. This new requirement is providing an option for compliance by offering both label service and listed personnel. Listed personnel would be required to meet the definition of listed as contained in Chapter 3. The committee will review this requirement at the ROC stage to determine if an adequate glazing certification program has been developed for the time of publication of the 2013 edition of this document. In the event that a program has not been developed the committee will take appropriate action to reevaluate this requirement as needed. Number Eligible to Vote: 25 Ballot Results: Affirmative: 21 Negative: 3 Ballot Not Returned: 1 Patton, V.Explanation of Negative: HAHN, S.: I agree with Mr. Hicks comments. Changing the terms certified or listed to qualified would offer consistency with other sections of the Standard. HICKS, JR., H.: I find it very difficult to promote a code change that establishes a requirement for certification or listing of individuals when no such program exists. The certification process should be developed first and verified that it is functioning and providing sufficient numbers of certified individuals to avoid the appearance of writing a requirement around a specific individual or individuals. SAN PAOLO, D.: No glazing certification program exists, and thereby cannot be referenced by this document. The language should remain unchanged from the 2010 edition. _______________________________________________________________ 80-12 Log #6 Final Action: Accept in Principle(4.7.5.1.1, 4.7.5.1.2, and A.4.7.5.1)_______________________________________________________________ Note: This Proposal originates from Tentative Interim Amendment 80-10-2 (TIA 1001) issued by the Standards Council on October 20, 2010.Submitter: Joseph R. Hetzel, Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association Recommendation: Add new text to read as follows: 4.7.5.1.1 Where fusible links are installed on both sides of the wall, a sleeve shall be installed through the wall to provide an open pathway for the cable/chain connecting the fusible links. 4.7.5.1.2 The sleeve shall be a 1/

2-in. (13-mm) diameter galvanized steel

conduit or pipe, with ends de-burred, and fitted with a collar or bushing at each end to secure the sleeve around the wall and allow free movement of the cable/chain through the sleeve upon fusing of the links. A.4.7.5.1 Wall sleeves required for the installation of fire door fusible links on both sides of a wall are unlike many other wall penetrations for pipes, conduits, ducts and the like. Such sleeves must remain open and unobstructed for free movement of the fusible link cable/chain upon fusing of the links. Firestopping or other sealants should not be used on sleeves because they can encumber movement and prevent automatic closing of a fire door in a fire event.

Sash chain or steel cable

Washer (optional)Set collar or bushing in. EMT conduit or pipe

Concrete, masonry,or approved non-masonry

Substantiation: Rolling steel fire door manufacturers have become aware of an increasing trend towards more frequent and recurring questions from AHJs regarding the correct installation of wall sleeves for through-wall fusible links. Sleeves are referred to, but the method of installing such wall sleeves is inadequately documented in NFPA 80. AHJs are reluctant to accept manufacturers installation instructions, even though such instructions are referenced throughout NFPA 80. This matter is also outside the scope of listing agencies, as they regulate the manufacturing but not the installation of fire door products. Emergency Nature: The incorrect installation of a sleeve, or the misguided attempt to seal it, can create the potential for a life threatening condition resulting from a fire door being prevented from automatically closing. Committee Meeting Action: Accept in PrincipleAdd new text to read as follows: 4.7.5.1.1 Where fusible links are installed on both sides of the wall, a sleeve shall be installed through the wall to provide an open pathway for the cable or chain connecting the fusible links. 4.7.5.1.2 The sleeve shall be a -in. (13-mm) diameter galvanized steel conduit or pipe, with ends de-burred, and fitted with a collar or bushing at each end to secure the sleeve around the wall and allow free movement of the cable or chain through the sleeve upon fusing of the links.

Such sleeves must remain open and unobstructed for free movement of the fusible link cable or chain upon fusing of the links. Firestopping, other sealants, or other materials should not be used on sleeves because they can encumber movement and prevent automatic closing of a fire door in a fire event.Committee Statement: The committee accepts the proposed text with a modification to remove the '/' to clarify the intent of the requirement is to provide an open pathway for either cables or chains. In addition, the committee has added or other materials to the proposed annex language to more clearly address the fact that nothing should be used on sleeves that may prevent or encumber the free movement of the chain or cable. Introducing any other possible obstructions to the sleeve should not occur.

Substantiation: There is no guidance in NFPA 80 for what is intended by a special sill. The term is confusing and should be clarified. This proposed change clarifies the application of the section regarding the installation of sills and when sills are required.

_______________________________________________________________ 80-14 Log #9 Final Action: Reject(4.8.4.1)_______________________________________________________________ Submitter: John A. Lee, Hughes Associates, Inc.Recommendation: Revised text to read as follows: 4.8.4.1 The clearance under the bottom of a door shall be a maximum of 3/4 in. 3/8 in. with a tolerance of +1/8 in.Substantiation: The existing section specifies a clearance of 3/4 in under the door, which is inconsistent with the NFPA 252 (2008) test assembly clearance of 3/8 in. under the bottom of the door, as well as the 2001 and earlier California Building Code (CBC) Standard 7-2 for Fire Door Tests, which also specify a 3/8 in. bottom gap. Similarly, the 2007 CBC (and 2006 IBC) reference both NFPA 252 and 80 almost interchangeably throughout Chapter 7. Because NFPA 80 provides no information or guidance as to why the clearance at the bottom of a door is allowed to be twice that which was tested, these apparent anomalies cause enforcement issues in the field. It is proposed to make the installed door bottom clearance consistent with the test condition, while adding a practical tolerance to account for field conditions (uneven floor, etc.,). Committee Meeting Action: RejectCommittee Statement: The test method is not the code. There is a reason that the gaps specified in the standard are smaller than whats allowed in the field. They represent a worse case condition. In the test, the bigger the gap, the more cooling air is drawn into the furnace and keeps the bottom rail cooler. The NFPA 80 limitation on the undercut size is related to limiting air flow into the fire room, not containing the fire. The fire test has no measurement or criteria for air flow under the door. There is currently no evidence that would suggest the current NFPA 80 limitations have resulted in any performance problems in the field.

(19 mm). A.4.8.4.1 The maximum clearance of 3/

4 in. (19 mm.) under fire doors as

permitted by this standard is the accepted practice in the industry. NFPA 252, Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies, is a test standard, not an installation standard, and prescribes clearances and tolerances for swinging doors installed in the test wall opening. The test procedures as specified in NFPA 252 represent a worse case condition for the fire test. Substantiation: The proposed annex language provides clarification as to why there is a difference between the permitted clearance under the bottom of fire doors in NFPA 80 and the clearance used as part of the prescribed NFPA 252 test. It has been brought to the committees attention that there may be confusion in the field as to why the 3/

4 is permitted by this standard. This

annex language provides the necessary background information and clarification regarding the intent of the 3/

4 permission.

Substantiation: As currently worded, 4.9.1 does not require newly installed fire doors and fire windows to be inspected to the same level of detail as required under 5.2. Since 4.9.1 specifically addresses the closing device and the units ability to reach full closure, newly installed fire door and fire windows are not thoroughly scrutinized to ensure they fully comply with NFPA 80 immediately upon installation. Now that annual inspections of fire door assemblies are beginning to take place around the country, it makes sense to make sure the fire doors and fire windows are initially installed correctly. Committee Meeting Action: Accept in PrincipleSee committee action on Proposal 80-17 (Log #CP15). Committee Statement: The committee has reorganized Chapter 5 in Proposal 80-17 (Log #CP15). This reorganization relocates the requirements for testing and inspection required upon the completion of installation of a fire door into Chapter 5. The changes made there should meet the submitters intent. Number Eligible to Vote: 25 Ballot Results: Affirmative: 24 Ballot Not Returned: 1 Patton, V.
