2 Agenda Certified Amending s (CAMs) This Agenda contains Certified Amending s (CAMs) for NFPA Standards in the Fall 2014 and Annual 2015 revision cycles that will be considered at the June 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting (Tech Session). These motions have been certified and determined as proper by the s Committee in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards (Regs) and the NFPA Technical Meeting Convention Rules (Convention Rules). The motions on each Standard will be considered in the order determined by this Agenda. Please make note of, and take into consideration, the following: 1) Agenda Sections. The Agenda is broken into to two distinct sections which are as follows: I. CAM Overview. Page 3 of Agenda lists all the CAMs for NFPA 33 that can be pursued at the Tech Session. It includes a reference to the pages containing text that illustrates the potential impact of the CAMs if they were to pass or fail. This page is repeated for all other NFPA Standards being considered at the Tech Session. II. Effect of CAMs. Page 4 displays the potential text of NFPA 33 if Seq # 33-1 were to pass or fail. These pages immediately follow the applicable CAM Overview page and proceed in the same order as the motion sequence numbers ( Seq #). This layout is repeated for all other NFPA Standards and applicable CAMs. The impact of a successful CAM on the Second Draft text is shown legislatively. The effect of an unsuccessful motion is illustrated by simply showing the applicable Second Draft text, without legislative changes. Please see the editorial legend below used throughout these sections. Draft text is displayed as follows: Strikethrough: indicates the deletion of text Underline: indicates the addition of text 2) NFPA Technical Meeting Consideration. The material provided in this Agenda is intended to illustrate the potential impact of a successful or unsuccessful Amending on the text of an NFPA Standard. The amendment is based on the recommendation of the NFPA membership when an Amending is filed and presented in accordance with the Regs. IMPORTANT NOTE: The text as recommended by the NFPA membership is subject to the entire standards development process. Therefore, the standard, recommended amendment, and associated text cannot be considered final until the responsible committee(s) are balloted, where required by the Regs, and the standard is issued by the Standards Council. Per Table 1 of the Regs, any failed Ballot will result in a recommendation to return the related text to previous edition text. Page 2 of 70

Recommended Text if Passes: 6.13 Fire safety of interior materials FMVSS 302 is a US federal standard that specifies flammability requirements for materials used in the occupant compartments of motor vehicles. Its purpose is to reduce deaths and injuries to motor vehicle occupants caused by vehicle fires, especially those originating in the interior of the vehicle from sources such as matches or cigarettes Any portion of a single or composite material which is within 0.5 inches (13 mm) of the occupant compartment air space is required to meet one of the following requirements: (a) the material shall not burn, nor transmit a flame front across its surface, at a rate of more than 4 inches (102 mm) per minute, or (b) If the material stops burning before it has burned for 60 seconds from the start of timing, and has not burned more than 2 inches (51 mm) from the point where the timing was started, it shall be considered to meet the burn-rate requirement of (a) * NFPA 556, Guide on Methods for Evaluating Fire Hazard to Occupants of Passenger Road Vehicles, has demonstrated that FMVSS 302 does not ensure passenger road vehicle fire safety. A FMVSS 302 is a mandatory test for the flammability of some of the materials contained within the passenger compartment of passenger road vehicles in the US. NFPA 556, Guide on Methods for Evaluating Fire Hazard to Occupants of Passenger Road Vehicles, discusses the usefulness (or lack of it) of compliance with FMVSS 302 to ensure fire safety of occupants of passenger road vehicles. Guide NFPA 556 also provides some guidance into improved flammability requirements for materials and products in various areas of passenger road vehicles. Also: add NFPA 556 into chapter 2 and the annex on referenced NFPA standards.
