Revise text to read as follows:5.2.4 Limited-Combustible Material. Refers to a building construction material not complying with the definition of

noncombustiblematerial that, in the form in which it is used, has a potential heat value not exceeding 3500 Btu/lb (8141 kJ/kg), wheretested in accordance with NFPA 259, Standard Test Method for Potential Heat of Building Materials, and includes either(1) materials that have a structural base of noncombustible material, with a surfacing not exceeding a thickness of 0.125in. (3.2 mm) and having a flame spread index not greater than 50, or (2) materials in the form and thickness used thathave neither a flame spread index greater than 25 nor evidence of continued progressive combustion and that are ofsuch composition that surfaces that would be exposed by cutting through the material on any plane would have neithera flame spread index greater than 25 nor evidence of continued progressive combustion, when tested in accordancewith ASTM E 84, Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials (NFPA 220, Standardon Types of Building Construction).5.2.4.1 Limited combustible materials used in manufactured housing shall be not less than 5/16 in. (8 mm) thick or shallbe gypsum board.5.2.5 Noncombustible Material. A material that, in the form in which it is used and under the conditions anticipated, willnot ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subjected to fire or heat. Materials that arereported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750°C,shall be considered noncombustible materials.

A material that complies with any of the following shall be considered a noncombustible material:(1)* A material that, in the form in which it is used and under the conditions anticipated, will not ignite, burn, support

combustion, or release flammable vapors, when subjected to fire or heat(2) A material that is reported as passing ASTM E 136,

(3) A material that is reported as complying with the pass/ fail criteria of ASTM E 136 when tested in accordance withthe test method and procedure in ASTM E 2652,

. [ 7.1.4.1.1]Where the term limited-combustible is used in this Code, it shall also include the term noncombustible.

[ 7.1.4.1.2]The provisions of 5.2.4.1 do not require inherently noncombustible materials to be tested in order to be

classified as noncombustible materials. [ A.7.1.4.1]Examples of such materials include steel, concrete, masonry and glass. [ A.7.1.4.1.1(1)]

A material shall be considered a limited combustible material where all theconditions of 5.2.5..1 and 5.2.5.2, and the conditions of either 5.2.5.3 or 5.2.5.4 are met. [ 7.1.4.2]

The material does not comply with the requirements for a noncombustible material, in accordance with 5.2.4.[ 7.1.4.2.1]

The material, in the form in which it is used, exhibits a potential heat value not exceeding 3500 Btu/lb (8141kJ/kg), when tested in accordance with NFPA 259, .[ 7.1.4.2.2]

The material has a structural base of a noncombustible material with a surfacing not exceeding a thickness of1/8 in. (3.2 mm) where the surfacing exhibits a flame spread index not greater than 50 when tested in accordance withASTM E 84, or ANSI/UL 723,

. [ 7.1.4.2.3]The material is composed of materials which, in the form and thickness used, neither exhibit a flame spread

index greater than 25 nor evidence of continued progressive combustion when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 orANSI/UL 723, and are of such composition that all surfaces that would be exposed by cutting through the material onany plane would neither exhibit a flame spread index greater than 25 nor exhibit evidence of continued progressivecombustion when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or ANSI/UL 723. [ 7.1.4.2.4]

Where the term limited-combustible is used in this Code, it shall also include the term noncombustible.[ 7.1.4.2.5]

Report on Proposals – November 2012 NFPA 501shall be gypsum board.

Add reference to ASTM E 2652, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Tube Furnace with aCone-shaped Airflow Stabilizer, at 750 Degrees C (2009a) and to ANSI/UL 723, Standard for Test for Surface BurningCharacteristics of Building Materials into the Chapter on referenced standards.

NFPA 101 and 5000 have been revised so that the definitions of noncombustible material and oflimited combustible material have been eliminated and replaced by sections in the code or standard, that will nowcontain requirements for the use of the concepts. Definitions are not enforceable in NFPA documents. The order of thetwo sections has been revised for clarity because this allows the concept of noncombustible to come first.

Note that a material can be tested to be noncombustible in accordance with two test methods: ASTM E 136 and ASTME 2652.

There is no change in requirements.

Add new text to read as follows:5.3.26 Interior finish materials on surfaces of plastic bathtubs, shower units, and tub or shower doors shall exhibit a

flame spread index not exceeding 200. The smoke developed index shall not be limited.Renumber sections 5.3.2.6 through 5.3.2.9 as 5.3.2.7 through 5.3.2.10.

I must apologize to the committee because I made a mistake at the last cycle and inadvertentlychanged the requirements and that then resulted (because of my having submitted a NITMAM) in the whole sectionbeing deleted.In the previous cycle, this section read as follows:

I corrected the language and incorrectly changed the flame spread index limit from 200 to 50. The committee acceptedthat language at the proposal stage. Unfortunately I then added a comment on the same proposal and the committeerejected that and I will not pursue that issue.

Having said all the above, the corrected section should be reinstated into the standard.

Section 5.3.2.6 contains requirements for backsplashes, not bathtubs and shower units. Thesubmitter should revise the proposal to address the requirements in the appropriate section. Section 5.4 contains similarlanguage.

Revise text to read as follows:The metal hood required by 5.5.2 shall not be required where an oven of equivalent metal protection or a

microwave cooking appliance meeting the requirements of ANSI/UL 923, , is installedbetween the cabinet and the range, and all exposed cabinet surfaces are protected as described in 5.5.1.

Add ANSI approval designation to ANSI/UL 923.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________Marcelo M. Hirschler, GBH International

Revise text to read as follows:. Exposed insulation installed in attics on the floor or ceiling forming the lower boundary of the

attic shall have a critical radiant flux of not less than 0.12 watt/cm2 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 970,Standard Test Method for Critical Radiant Flux of Exposed Attic Floor Insulation Using a Radiant Heat Energy Source ()NFPA 253, Standard Method of Test for Critical Radiant Flux of Floor Covering Systems Using a Radiant Heat EnergySource.

The correct standard test method for assessing the critical radiant flux of cellulose loose fill insulationis ASTM E 970. The equipment used to test by NFPA 253 and ASTM E 970 is similar but there are some differences inprocedure. The test included in NFPA 5000 and in other building codes is ASTM E970 and not NFPA 253. The ASTMequivalent of NFPA 253 is ASTM E648 and it is intended for textile materials such as carpets. This proposal is notintroducing a change in requirements but simply points to the correct standard.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________501-7 Log #9

_______________________________________________________________________________________________Marcelo M. Hirschler, GBH International

Revise text to read as follows:5.8.2.3.1 The thermal barrier constructed of the equivalent material shall limit the average temperature rise of the

unexposed surface to not more than 250°F (121°C) after 15 minutes of fire exposure complying with the standardtime–temperature curve of ASTM E 119,NFPA 251, Standard Methods of Tests of Fire Resistance of Building Construction and Materials.

NFPA 251 has been withdrawn and is replaced by ASTM E 119. This proposal is not introducing achange in requirements but simply points to the correct standard. Note that section 13.3.1 already uses ASTM E 119.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________Eddie Phillips, Southern Regional Fire Code Development Committee

Revise text to read as follows:This section establishes minimum requirements when a fire sprinkler system is installed in a manufactured

home. Unless the authority having jurisdiction requires a fire sprinkler system for all detached one- and two-familydwellings, these requirements for sprinkler systems are voluntary. Manufactured homes shall be provided with anautomatic fire sprinkler system in accordance with 13D.

NFPA 1, 101, 500, and the International Residential Code all require that one- and two-familydwellings have automatic sprinkler systems installed in all new construction. It is now time to include it within 501. Thebenefit of residential sprinklers is well documented. To correlate with the other codes that requires sprinkler systems.

See section 5.11 of the current edition.This change was already incorporated into the previous edition (2010) of NFPA 501.

Add new text to read as follows:5.11.2 When water mist sprinkler systems are installed, the systems shall be designed, installed and tested in

accordance with NFPA 13D,

Per Section 5.11.1 “All new manufactured homes shall be protected throughout by an approvedautomatic sprinkler system.”In instances where a water mist system sprinkler system is installed per NFPA 750 Standard on Water Mist Fire

Protection Systems, specific design and installation requirements of that standard shall apply and should be referencedin this section.

Revise language as follows:5.11.2 When water mist sprinkler systems are installed, the systems shall be designed, installed and tested inaccordance with NFPA 13D,

Revised language provides an option for using NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation ofSprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes, or NFPA 750, Standard on Water MistFire Protection Systems. The committee is seeking public input on this change.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________Technical Committee on Manufactured Housing,

Update section 6.5.3 to the new 2010 edition of ASCE 7-10.The wind load chapters in ASCE 7-10 have been updated.

The committee recognizes that revisions have been made to the wind load chapters in ASCE7-10 and will address the specific changes during the ROC stage.

Revise section Vents that extend through the roof shall extend undiminished in size, not less than 2in. (50 mm) above the roof. ……….”not less than 12 in. above the roof or 6 in. above the anticipated snow accumulation,whichever is greater. Where the 97.5-percent value for outside design temperature is 00F (-180C) or less, every ventextension through a roof or wall shall be a minimum of 3 inches in diameter. Any increase in the size of the vent shallbe made inside the structure a minimum of 1 foot below the roof or inside the wall.

Cold climate areas and snow accumulation dictate the necessity for vent system piping to be abovesnow accumulations, and this new text provides greater potential this will be achieved thereby allowing the drainagesystem to properly vent. The diameter increase of the vent in cold climates will reduce the potential the vent will beblocked by frost build-up within the vent piping exposed to the cold. This text is also consistent with ICC plumbing coderequirements.

The phrase "anticipated snow accumulation" is unclear. The submitter should reference specificdata on snow accumulation in specific regions (including breakdowns of specific counties). Data should also be providedto support the 3 in. diameter change.

Delete reference to the referenced editions of the listed standards in this table since this duplicatessuch information listed in Section 14.3.30 which was created to update such information for all referenced standards inthis standard, other than the annex. This would consolidate such information in one section and eliminate the potentialfor conflict and confusion of such information between the two sections of the standard. Recommend that all the otherreferences in this table be edited to delete reference to the referenced editions. If this is not acceptable to thecommittee for some reason, then recommend all references in this table be edited to reference the same referencededitions as listed in Section 14.3.30.
