14 of 31 7/9/2014 2:44 PM Public Input No. 2-NFPA [ Section No. 4.1 ] 4.1 Goal. The goal of this standard shall be to provide for a woodworking and wood processing facility that is reasonably protected from fire or deflagration in a cost-effective manner. The proposal clarifies that this standard is to provide fire protection as an affirmative statement. The word reasonably is vague and should not be used in this section.

15 of 31 7/9/2014 2:44 PM Public Input No. 24-NFPA [ Section No ] * Mission Continuity. The facility, woodworking processes and equipment, and human element program shall be designed, constructed, equipped, and maintained to limit damage to levels that ensure the ongoing mission, production, or operating capability of the facility to a degree acceptable to the relevant authority having jurisdiction. The term relevant is unnecessary and causes confusion. The definition of "authority having jurisdiction" addresses the relevancy.

16 of 31 7/9/2014 2:44 PM Public Input No. 25-NFPA [ Section No ] Maintenance of the Design Features. To continue meeting the performance goals and objectives of this standard, the design features required for each hazard area shall be maintained for the life of the facility. This shall include complying with originally documented design assumptions and specifications. Any variation from the design shall require approval of the authority design professional and the authority having jurisdiction prior to actual change. The design professional is responsible for the overall plan. It is important that the design professional agree with changes being made to the plan. A good example is the design change that occurred to the skywalk in Kansas City that collapsed, with devastating effects. In that case, a change was made to the plan that the design professional was unaware. Written permission from the design professional is needed for verification. This is similar to a proposal to NFPA 15, PI #20 to section Submitter Full Name: Jim Muir Organization: Building Safety Division, Clark County, Washington Affilliation: NFPA's Building Code Development Committee (BCDC) Submittal Date: Tue May 20 14:08:27 EDT 2014

22 5 of 31 7/9/2014 2:44 PM Public Input No. 23-NFPA [ Section No ] Where required, draft curtains shall extend down from the roof deck finished ceiling a minimum depth of 10 percent of the floor-to-ceiling height and shall fit tight tightly against the roof deck finished ceiling. The roof deck may not be the lowest point from which a draft curtain must extend. It could be a floor deck, framed ceiling or suspended ceiling. This clarifies the issue by utilizing the term finished ceiling. The change from tight to tightly is editorial. If the change in the related PI #22 is not made, then Section must be changed to reflect this revision.

The use of the abort gate upstream of the AMS is common in the board plants due to higher risk of generating competent igniters in the upstream process and for this or similar industry segments it is a proper solution. However the requirement should not be applied to the rest of the industry with very low posibility of generating competent igniters. The spark detection and extinguishment system provides the protection.

28 0 of 31 7/9/2014 2:44 PM Public Input No. 29-NFPA [ New Section after ] TITLE OF NEW CONTENT Air for Air-material Seperator or dust collectors deemed to have a fire and deflagration hazard and with a combustible concenrtation below LFL or MEC the system shall be designed with following: (1) Install upstream of the AMS a listed spark dection system with a distance upstream of the AMS based on the transport velocity using the formula Velocity (m/s) x 0.3 sec = distance to AMS (m) (2) Install abort gate tested by recognized testing facility to verify full divertion by activation of the spark dection system in (1). (3) AMS with fire hazards must be equipped with a secondary detection downstream of the AMS and upstream of the abort gate. Most incidents develop as a fire incident without entering the deflagration stage and therefore make a pressure activated protection system inefficient. The can cause flame fronts to enter occupied areas. With the combination of pre-deflagration detection and the non-deflagration concentration in the pnumatic transport system the spark detection system with detect competent igniters before they enter the AMS whre deflagration concentrations may exist. The abort gate will be in the aborted position should a deflagration incident happen.

34 5 of 31 7/9/2014 2:44 PM Public Input No. 17-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A Refer to Section 3-10 Section of FM 2 7-8N, Installation of Sprinkler Systems 14, Fire Protection for Chemical Plants. FM 2-8N, Installation of Sprinkler Systems is now obsolete and has been replaced with FM 2-0, Installation Guidelines for Automatic Sprinklers. However the previous reference in section 3-10 of FM 2-8N is now only found in FM 7-14, Fire Protection for Chemical Plants. This reference is to address protection of sprinkler piping, valves and fittings against damage from explosions. It was previously referenced in both FM 2-8N and FM However when FM 2-0 was created and FM 2-8N superseded, it was not included. This was the previous FM 2-8N section 3-10 reference: 1. Risers should be located in areas cut off by pressure resistant walls or shielded by structural columns. 2. Feed and cross mains should be located away from reactors or pressure vessels insofar as it is practical (e.g., in the aisles or off to the sides of reactors or pressure vessels but never directly above this equipment). 3. Generally, water supply mains to hazardous process areas should be buried, looped, and equipped with divisional valves so that any breaks due to explosion damage can be isolated. 4. All piping over 2 in.(51mm) should be welded or have welded flanged fittings. Welding should conform to the ANSI standard for pressure piping, B Power Piping. Welded flanged fittings should conform to ANSI Standard B 16.0 Wrought Steel Buttwelding Fittings or B 16.25, Buttwelding Ends for Pipe, Valves, Flanges and Fittings. Welding should be prohibited in an occupied structur; however, welded subassemblies may be prepared outside the area and assembled (flanged) within the areas. Piping 2 in.(51mm) or smaller may be welded; otherwise, malleable iron on steel fittings of 150 lb of steam rating (300 lb W.O.G. rating)should be used. These fittings should conform to ANSI Standard B 16.3, Malleable Iron Screwed Fittings, 150 and 300 lb or B 16.5, Steel Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings. Note; Flexible couplings may be used in lieu of welded pipe or welded flanged fittings. 5. Piping should be supported from the building or structural framework; however, outdoor piping may be attached to self-supporting process equipment. 6. For processing structures located indoors or outdoors, a readily assible manual shuof valve should be provided for each system. All manual sutof valves and automatic sprinkler control valves (alarm check, deluge, etc.) should be located at least 50 ft(15.2m) from the building or structures. Where a greater than average explosion hazard exists, these valves should also be barricaded or located in a dry, readily accessible belowgrade vlave house (manhole-type entrance not acceptable). Also, see Data Sheet This is the reference in FM 7-14 Section 2.4.3: Locate risers in areas cut off by pressure-resistant walls or shielded by structural columns Locate feed and cross mains away from reators or pressure vessels (eg., in the aisles or to the sides of reactors or pressure vessels, but never directly above this equipment) Bury and loop water supply mains to hazardous process areas. Provide divisional valves so any breaks due to explosion damage can be isolated Ensure all piping over 2 in. (51mm) is welded or has welded flanged fittings. Welding should conform to the ANSI/ASME standard for pressure piping, B31.1 Power Piping. Welded flanged fittings should conform to ANSI/ASME Standard B16.9 Factory-Mde Wrought Steel Buttwelding Fittings or ANSI/ASME STandard B16.25, Buttwelding Ends. Prohibit welding in an occupied structur; however, welded subassemblies may be prepared outside the area and assembled (flanged) within the area. Piping 2 in.(51mm) or smaller may be welded; otherwise, use malleable iron-on-steel fittings of 150 lb steam rating (300 lb W.O.G. rating). These fittings should conform to ANSI/ASME Standard B16.3, Malleable Iron Threaded Fittings, 150 and 300lb; or ANSI/ASME Standard B16.5, Steel Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings. Do not use flexible couplings Ensure piping is supported from the building or structural framework. However, outdoor piping may be attached to self-supporting process equipment Provide a readily accessible manual shutoff valve for each system within the processing structure located indoors or outdoors. Locate all manual shuoff valves and automatic sprinkler control valves (alarm check, deluge, etc.) at least 50 ft(15.2m) from the building or structures.
