4 of 29 4/12/2016 9:32 AM Public Input No. 9-NFPA [ Section No ] For artificial Christmas trees, the vertical centerline of the burner shall be located 150 mm ± 2.5 mm (6 in. ± 0.1 in.) inside the outermost portion of the tree located at the worst case position with respect to flame impingement on the branches and within 100 mm (4 in.) vertically from the bottom branches. This proposes a change to the placement of the ignition source when testing artificial trees. Repeat testing experience at UL has shown that placement of the ignition source at 6 inches inside the outermost portion of the tree is not always the location that exposes the highest concentration of tree branches. Depending on the tree construction and configuration, placing the ignition source in a worst case location, where there is the highest concentration of branches, can yield a more representative result. This proposal also adds an Annex commentary that UL Outline 2358 has been successfully used to test and certify pre-lit artificial Christmas trees.

5 of 29 4/12/2016 9:32 AM Public Input No. 5-NFPA [ Section No. 5.5 ] 5.5 Natural Christmas trees In order to investigate the effect of fire retardant treatments on natural Christmas trees the procedure to be followed shall be as shown in through The Christmas tree shall be tested by placing it in the center of a protective barrier, placed above a load cell (see Section 7.5), and exposing it to the gas burner described in with the power level described in The vertical centerline of the burner shall be located 150 mm mm (6 in. - 1 in.) inside the outermost portion of the tree and within 100 mm (4 in,) vertically from the bottom branches The gas supplied to the propane gas burner shall be controlled linearly from a zero flow rate to a flow rate of 234 cm 3 /s (29.8 standard ft 3 /hour) at 2.5 minutes to provide a theoretical net peak heat release rate of 20 kw/m 2 at 2.5 minutes. The gas input shall then be linearly decreased to reach an input of 0 kw (zero flow rate) at 5.0 minutes. 5.6 Other Individual Fuel Packages For individual fuel packages other than those described in through , the individual fuel package shall be centrally positioned on a weighing platform protective barrier covering a load cell as described in Section The weighing platform load cell shall be located centrally under the collection hood The ignition source shall be placed on the protective barrier (see 5.1.3) and in contact with the individual fuel package or located to optimize ignition and fire growth of the individual fuel package. A procedure for studying fire retardant treatments on natural Christmas trees is being added, based on studies at UL. The research suggested that natural Christmas trees cannot withstand 20 kw for 15 min without reaching flashover and a less severe ignition source is being proposed. The change relating to the weighing platform is intended to provide language consistent with the language in 7.5, where the term weighing platform does not appear. The other proposed change to the section on other fuel packages is a correction of the referenced sections.

7 of 29 4/12/2016 9:32 AM Public Input No. 14-NFPA [ Section No ] The weighing platform individual fuel package shall be located centrally under the collection hood. It is more important that the test sample be centered under the hood rather than the weighing device Submittal Date: Thu Jan 07 15:08:14 EST 2016 Resolution: Individual fuel packages may not be symmetrical therefore it is impossible to require them to be located centrally.

Recent experience has indicated that the porous material to be used needs to be the Ottawa sand. One reason is that it is often not possible to know in advance whether a material to be tested will drip. Therefore discussing what material is to be used for dripping materials is unnecessary.

For digital cameras this information can be recorded as part of the electronic test record. Color slides, photographs, or digital images shall be taken at intervals not exceeding 15 seconds for the first 3 minutes of the test and at intervals not exceeding 30 seconds thereafter for the duration of the test.

Many laboratory import the test photographs directly into a LIMs system. These systems store the test information automatically as part of the electronic record.

Remove 1. There is no reason to photograph or record video for every calibration test. Remove 2. There is no practical reason to record velocity and temperature profiles across the duct for every calibration test. Measuring these values would require the installation of an array of temperature and velocity probes across the ducts. These measurements are often performed when commissioning a new hood, but I have never heard of this being done for every test. Remove 3. The raw data from the test will include the bidirectional probe pressure as well as many other instrument readings. There is no reason to single out the bidirectional probe pressure.

An alternate test method that has been used for the tes ng and cer fica on of ar ficial Christmas Trees is UL Subject 2358, Outline of Inves ga on for Fire Tests of Pre Lit Ar ficial Seasonal Use Trees and Other Seasonal Decora ve Items The igni on fire source exposure represents a 5 minute growth and decay fire challenge that peaks at 20 kw. The condi ons of acceptance are as follows :1) peak heat release rate does not exceed 100 kw, 2) total heat release rate does not exceed 15 MJ during the first 10 minutes of the test, and 3) t he sample shall not lose structural integrity such as pping, falling, or loss of branches during the test. This proposes a change to the placement of the ignition source when testing artificial trees. Repeat testing experience at UL has shown that placement of the ignition source at 6 inches inside the outermost portion of the tree is not always the location that exposes the highest concentration of tree branches. Depending on the tree construction and configuration, placing the ignition source in a worst case location, where there is the highest concentration of branches, can yield a more representative result. This proposal also adds an Annex commentary that UL Outline 2358 has been successfully used to test and certify pre-lit artificial Christmas trees.
