1 National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA Phone: Fax: M E M O R A N D U M To: From: NFPA Technical Committee on Helicopter Facilities Elena Carroll, Administrator, Technical Projects Date: July 1, 2014 Subject: NFPA 418 First Draft TC FINAL Ballot Results (F2015 Cycle) According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot. 14 Members Eligible to Vote 6 Not Returned (Aaron, Gammon, Kaisler, Buehler, Kays, Smith) 8 Affirmative on All Revisions (Syms, with comment on one or more Revisions) 0 Negatives 0 Abstentions The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each first revision, if applicable. There are two criteria necessary for each first revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2 /3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined. (1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote 2 = = 11) (2) Example for Affirmative 2 /3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote 1 not returned 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = = 12 ) As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

36 Page 34 of 47 Committee Statement: Sections 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, and 5.10 were reorganized and combined into a single 5.7 to provide clarity (previous 5.7.6): Update reference (new): The standard should identify an appropriate installation standard for fixed foam systems (previous ): The foam discharge duration was revised to be consistent with NFPA 16 and NFPA 409. There are operational and firstresponder issues that would benefit from the increased duration. Rooftop heliports are not easily accessible to first-responders within a five-minute time frame. previous (deleted): Chapter 6 of NFPA 409 no longer provides guidance on the supply calculation method (previous 5.8.2): Combined into a single sentence to meet the Manual of Style (new): It is important that personnel on the rooftop are able to locate and identify the correct activation station during an emergency (new): The new text provides additional guidance on the location of the foam system shutoff. previous (deleted): Chapter 6 of NFPA 409 no longer provides guidance on the supply calculation method (previous 5.7.7: The intent is to provide sufficient foam concentrate for the largest system, based on the supply calculation method. Multiple pads may be covered by a single system or individual systems. The previous terminology, which tied the requirement to "pads", did not accomplish this intent (new): Foam systems installed in accordance with NFPA 11 are not covered by NFPA 25.

Younis, Steven E. Affirmative with Comment Syms, Raymond A An approved manual control for foam system shutdown shall be accessible at all times, including the time of fire and system operation. COMMENTS: This needs to be expanded with requirements for the shutoff being co-located with activation controls. A quick shutoff is needed in the event of an inadvertent discharge, need for rescue persons to reach the helicopter, fire under control to preserve foam or at end of foam duration to shut off foam to prevent the foam blanket from being washed away by the water only discharge. This currently allows for the shutoff to be isolated from the heliport attendant as long as it is accessible which needs to be spelled out.
