14 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #14 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, Make any needed editorial changes to assure that the moved and renumbered text is correlated with the remainder of the chapter. The action taken at the ROP stage by SAF-HEA will provide correlation among occupancy chapters, but may need to be correlated within each occupancy chapter Log #18 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, a Revise the definition of Gross Leasable Area to read: The total floor area Fifty percent of major tenant areas, and one-hundred percent of all other floor areas designated for tenant occupancy and exclusive use, including storage areas. The area of tenant occupancy is measured from the centerlines of joint partitions to the outside of the tenant walls. All tenant areas, including areas used for storage, are part of the gross leasable area. The last sentence of the definition currently starts with the words all tenant areas which include major tenants and then the newly added text adds in 50 percent of the major tenant areas so as to create a conflict in language Log #23 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, Develop an occupant load factor specific to high density call centers. The Comment on Affirmative submitted by SAF-MER member Frable correctly identifies the need to address non-typical, commercial office building work settings such as high-density call centers now that the occupant load factor for business occupancies is being changed from 100 sq ft per person to 150 sq ft per person Log #199a SAF-MER Dave Frable, U.S. General Services Administration Revise text to read as follows: Portions of Table not shown remain unchanged Business Use (other than below) 150 (ft 2 per person) 13.9 (m 2 per person) Concentrated use f (ft 2 per person) 9.3 (m 2 per person) f For example, telephone call centers Several Technical Committee members raised a concern that revising the occupant load factor for business occupancies from 100 ft 2 per person to 150 ft 2 per person has not take into consideration non-typical commercial office building work settings such as "concentrated use" call centers. Therefore, I have attempted to address this concern by including a separate condition for determining the occupant load factor for non-typical commercial office building work settings (i.e., "concentrated use") that will remain at 100 ft 2 per person. The term "concentrated use" has been taken from the assembly use occupancy. 1 Page 14 of 28

15 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #203a SAF-MER Dave Frable, U.S. General Services Administration Revise text to read as follows: Portions of Table not shown remain unchanged Business Use (other than below) 150 (ft 2 per person) 13.9 (m 2 per person) Concentrated use f ft 2 per person) 9.3 (m 2 per person) f For example, telephone call centers Several Technical Committee members raised a concern that revising the occupant load factor for business occupancies from 100 ft 2 per person to 150 ft 2 per person has not take into consideration non-typical commercial office building work settings such as "concentrated use" call centers.

The term "concentrated use" has been taken from the assembly use occupancy Log #239a SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric, and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #240a SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #276a SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric, and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load. 2 Page 15 of 28

16 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #280a SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric, and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #281a SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric, and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #295a SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric, and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #296a SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #30 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, c Review the TC s occupancy chapter provisions applicable to smoke barriers and, if it is the TC s desire, revise text so as to specifically exempt latching in the appropriate locations. The occupancy chapters might need to be correlated with the change made to Page 16 of 28

17 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #270 SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Accept In Part.. Interior wall finish materials complying with 10.2 shall be Class A, B, or C and interior ceiling finish materials complying with 10.2 shall be Class A or B. Substantiation is based on wall finishes. The ceiling finish should remain unchanged Log #138 SAF-MER James K. Lathrop, Koffel Associates, Inc b Reject Proposal b. Although jockey pumps and air compressors serving dry pipe and pre-action systems are secondary as noted by the TC, lack of power to these devices during a power failure can result in tripping a dry pipe or unnecessary activation of a fire pump. Both are undesirable and both could lead to failures that could lead to uncontrolled fires. This is only for new construction and only in a high rise building. If the generator can handle the fire pump it can easily handle these devices Log #42 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, b Do one of the following: (1) Delete proposed , or (2) Coordinate through SAF-FUN the placement of correlative text in [as revised by Proposal a] that will recognize exemptions from its rule where such exemption appears in an occupancy chapter. The procedures for the life safety committees do not permit an occupancy chapter to allow a leniency to a core chapter provision without the placement of correlative text in the core chapter to recognize such exemption Log #44 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, c Make changes to address the issues raised in member Thornberry s and Gumkowski s Comment on Affirmative. The text as revised is confusing and incorrect. It can be fixed by addressing the issues raised by members Thornberry and Gumkowski. 4 Page 17 of 28

18 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #168 SAF-MER Rick Thornberry, The Code Consortium, Inc. / Rep. 3A Composites USA, Inc a Reinstate the current text proposed to be deleted by Proposal a in (1) (b) and (1) (b) so that they read as follows: Kiosks and similar structures (temporary or permanent) shall not be considered as tenant spaces and shall meet the following requirements: (1) Combustible kiosks and similar structures shall be constructed of any of the following materials: (b) Light-transmitting plastics complying with Chapter 48 of NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code Kiosks and similar structures (temporary or permanent) shall not be considered as tenant spaces and shall meet the following requirements: (1) Combustible kiosks and similar structures shall be constructed of any of the following materials: (b) Light-transmitting plastics complying with Chapter 48 of NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code Without the specific references to Chapter 48 of the NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code in Section Kiosks and Kiosks, there is no way to determine what exactly light-transmitting plastics would have to comply with if a different building code were adopted by the jurisdiction enforcing NFPA 101. It is very important that the specific requirements in Section 48.7 of Chapter 48 of NFPA 5000 which are applicable to light-transmitting plastics be applied for proper enforcement of these requirements for kiosks. Otherwise, another option available to assure compliance would be to extract the specific text from Section 48.7 of Chapter 48 of NFPA 5000 and incorporate it into this section. A less desirable approach would be to include Annex A notes to Sections and to indicate that the specific requirements can be found in Section 48.7 of Chapter 48 of NFPA 5000 for light-transmitting plastics. 5 Page 18 of 28

19 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #CC5 SAF-MER Technical Committee on Fundamentals, Revise text as follows: The storage, arrangement, protection, and quantities of hazardous commodities shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the following: (1) NFPA 1, (2) NFPA 13, (3) NFPA 30, (4) NFPA 30B, (5) (6)NFPA 400,, Chapter 14 for organic peroxide formulations NFPA 432, (6) (5) NFPA 400,, Chapter 15 for oxidizer solids and liquidsnfpa 430, (7) NFPA 400,, various chapters depending on characteristics of a particular pesticide NFPA 434, (8) NFPA 1124, The storage, arrangement, protection, and quantities of hazardous commodities shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the following: (1) NFPA 1, (2) NFPA 13, (3) NFPA 30, (4) NFPA 30B, (5) (6)NFPA 400,, Chapter 14 for organic peroxide formulations NFPA 432, (6) (5) NFPA 400,, Chapter 15 for oxidizer solids and liquids NFPA 430, (7) NFPA 400,, various chapters depending on characteristics of a particular pesticide NFPA 434, (8) NFPA 1124, NFPA 430, 432 and 434 were withdrawn and incorporated into new NFPA 400. NFPA 400 replaces the withdrawn documents and should serve as the mandatory referenced publication for the three categories of products addressed in 36/ (5) through (7). 6 Page 19 of 28

20 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #77 SAF-MER Marcelo M. Hirschler, GBH International / Rep. American Fire Safety Council Revise text to read as follows: The provisions of shall not apply to new upholstered furniture and mattresses. Upholstered furniture items that meet the heat release criteria specified in will exhibit improved fire performance. Mattresses that meet the heat release criteria specified in will exhibit improved fire performance. This comment changes the requirement in from newly introduced to new and it will therefore affect only upholstered furniture items and mattresses purchased new after the new edition of NFPA 101 goes into effect. It therefore does not apply to antique furniture or mattresses. As explained in the proposal, very few new upholstered furniture items are not resistant to smoldering ignition since UFAC and BIFMA have required for some 30 years that the upholstered furniture be smolder-resistant. Moreover, mattresses have been required by CPSC in the United States to be smolder resistant since the 1970s. Therefore, what this action does is eliminate the permission for stores to go out in a search for upholstered furniture items or mattresses that do smolder as opposed to the normal ones that do not. Moreover, it is an important message that NFPA 101 recognizes the potential problem of smoldering ignition and requires upholstered furniture to be smolder resistant. The annex note is information and does not incorporate requirements Log #41 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, Make the same change to The change to only makes the requirements for existing interior finish stricter than that for new. The provisions of must be correlated with those of Page 20 of 28

21 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #78 SAF-MER Marcelo M. Hirschler, GBH International / Rep.

The annex note is information and does not incorporate requirements Log #193 SAF-MER Masoud Sabounchi, Advanced Consulting Engineers, Inc Add new sections: An atrium design and separation meeting the requirements of shall be permitted to serve as an occupancy separation. An atrium design and separation meeting the requirements of shall be permitted to serve as an occupancy separation. Where separation is provided between the atrium and an adjacent area where the adjacent area has a different occupancy, the separation in conjunction with the smoke control system provides separation equivalent to that required for occupancy separation. Where atrium is open to the adjacent area as permitted by (b), there is no separation between the atrium and adjacent area and occupancy of both is considered to be the same. The noted provision would not be applicable where Provisions of (b) are implemented. Atriums enclosures are permitted to serve in lieu of vertical opening protection when provisions of are met. Provisions of outline how an atrium separation is constructed; it requires the building to be protected by an automatic sprinkler system throughout, smoke control system, etc. As such, the collection of the safety and fire protection features required to allow an atrium are equivalent to that of a shaft enclosure. Even though NFPA does not explicitly allow the atrium separations to be considered as occupancy separation, it considers the separation and the associated safety provisions equivalent to shaft enclosures. Otherwise, construction of an atrium would be construed as less safe than a shaft which is definitely not the case. The collection of the required safety features in construction of an atrium would be equivalent to a fire resistance rated shaft enclosure and should also be accepted as an occupancy separation. In many cases the occupancy that needs separation from the atrium occurs on one level of the atrium and typically this separation is required at the first floor of the atrium. Regardless of the location of the occupancy that requires occupancy separation from the atrium, if the area containing that occupancy is separated from the atrium, other floors that have the same occupancy as the atrium should be regulated as required by Page 21 of 28

22 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #181a SAF-MER Joshua Elvove, U.S. General Services Administration Add the following text to the end of the existing annex as follows: An atrium separation meeting the requirements of shall be permitted to serve as an occupancy separation provided the atrium is separated from the adjacent spaces by fire barriers with not less than a 1-hour fire resistance rating with opening protectives, penetrations, joints and air transfer openings as required for smoke partitions (see Section 8.4). Glass walls and inoperable windows shall be permitted in lieu of fire barriers provided all the provisions of 8.6.7(1)(c) are met. An atrium shall not be permitted to be used as an occupancy separation where any of the following conditions exist (1) where adjacent spaces are directly open to the atrium (2) where an engineering analysis has not been performed to demonstrate that the building is designed to keep the smoke layer interface 6 feet above the highest floor level of exit access open to the atrium for a period equal to 1.5 times the calculated egress time or 20 minutes, whichever is less (3) where an engineering smoke control system, installed to meet the requirements of (2), has not been equipped with a means to be independently activated by a required automatic sprinkler system and manual controls that are accessible to the fire department. Atriums need to be separated from adjacent occupancies so there is a defined location for measuring travel distance to the occupancy separation. Similar to the provisions of 8.6.7(5), an atrium should not be proposed as an occupancy separation unless safe egress can be demonstrated by an engineering analysis. Similar to 8.6.7(6), should the analysis reveal the need for a smoke control system, the smoke control system would need to be equipped with both an automatic and manual means of operation. An atrium separation meeting the requirements of shall be permitted to serve as an occupancy separation provided the atrium is separated from the adjacent occupancy by fire barriers with not less than a 1-hour fire resistance rating with opening protectives, penetrations, joints and air transfer openings as required for smoke partitions (see Section 8.4). Glass walls and inoperable windows shall be permitted in lieu of fire barriers provided all the provisions of 8.6.7(1)(c) are met. An atrium separation shall not be permitted to be used as an occupancy separation where any of the following conditions exist (1) where adjacent spaces are directly open to the atrium (2) where an engineering analysis has not been performed to demonstrate that the building is designed to keep the smoke layer interface 6 feet above the highest floor level of exit access open to the atrium for a period equal to 1.5 times the calculated egress time or 20 minutes, whichever is less (3) where an engineering smoke control system, installed to meet the requirements of (2), has not been equipped with a means to be independently activated by a required automatic sprinkler system and manual controls that are accessible to the fire department. Atriums need to be separated from adjacent occupancies so there is a defined location for measuring travel distance to the occupancy separation. Similar to the provisions of 8.6.7(5), an atrium should not be proposed as an occupancy separation unless safe egress can be demonstrated by an engineering analysis. Similar to 8.6.7(6), should the analysis reveal the need for a smoke control system, the smoke control system would need to be equipped with both an automatic and manual means of operation introduces a new concept which permits atriums to be used as an occupancy separation, should an occupancy so choose, provided as a minimum, the atrium is designed in accordance with Since atriums have always permitted to serve in lieu of up to 2 hr vertical openings protection when the all the provisions of are met, it seems logical that an atrium should also be used as an occupancy separation. Though ROP-185 establishes the base provisions, in order for atriums to be used as occupancy separations in business occupancies, the base provisions need to be further enhanced so the dangers associated with multiple floor openings are mitigated. That is why this provision can only be used if the atrium is completely separated from adjacent spaces (as opposed to what s permitted for atriums by 8.6.7(1)(b), an engineering analysis is performed that demonstrates egress is safeguarded (per 8.6.7(5)) and that smoke control systems, if required to be provided based 9 Page 22 of 28

23 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA 101 upon the engineering analysis, can be activated both automatically and manually (per 8.6.7(6). The applicable provisions from Section 8.4 have been added to ensure opening protectives, penetrations, joints and air transfer opening requirements are applied. Though a one hour fire barrier is the based requirement, an atrium that is separated from adjacent spaces by glass walls in conjunction with all seven requirements of 8.6.7(1)(c) should also suffice as an occupancy separation, since they already suffice for vertical opening protection. Business occupancies should have the option to use this provision. Similar proposals have been submitted for Assembly, Day Care, Educational, Health Care and Ambulatory Health Care occupancies Log #45 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, d Reconsider the proposal so as not to make the change. The current text was written specifically to address two-story townhouse-type office buildings where each tenant has a two-story space that abuts its neighbor s two-story space. The change made by the proposal will no longer permit a single means of egress [with an unenclosed stair as permitted by (2)] within such tenant space. The change was made without technical substantiation as to why the arrangement does not provide adequate life safety Log #139 SAF-MER James K. Lathrop, Koffel Associates, Inc a Reject Proposal a. Although jockey pumps and air compressors serving dry pipe and pre-action systems are secondary as noted by the TC, lack of power to these devices during a power failure can result in tripping a dry pipe or unnecessary activation of a fire pump. Both are undesirable and both could lead to failures that could lead to uncontrolled fires. This is only for new construction and only in a high rise building. If the generator can handle the fire pump it can easily handle these devices Log #46 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, a Do one of the following: (1) Delete proposed , or (2) Coordinate through SAF-FUN the placement of correlative text in [as revised by Proposal a] that will recognize exemptions from its rule where such exemption appears in an occupancy chapter. The procedures for the life safety committees do not permit an occupancy chapter to allow a leniency to a core chapter provision without the placement of correlative text in the core chapter to recognize such exemption. 10 Page 23 of 28

24 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #79 SAF-MER Marcelo M. Hirschler, GBH International / Rep. American Fire Safety Council Revise text to read as follows: The provisions of shall not apply to new upholstered furniture and mattresses. Upholstered furniture items that meet the heat release criteria specified in will exhibit improved fire performance. Mattresses that meet the heat release criteria specified in will exhibit improved fire performance. This comment changes the requirement in from newly introduced to new and it will therefore affect only upholstered furniture items and mattresses purchased new after the new edition of NFPA 101 goes into effect. It therefore does not apply to antique furniture or mattresses. As explained in the proposal, very few new upholstered furniture items are not resistant to smoldering ignition since UFAC and BIFMA have required for some 30 years that the upholstered furniture be smolder-resistant. Moreover, mattresses have been required by CPSC in the United States to be smolder resistant since the 1970s. Therefore, what this action does is eliminate the permission for businesses to go out in a search for upholstered furniture items or mattresses that do smolder as opposed to the normal ones that do not. Moreover, it is an important message that NFPA 101 recognizes the potential problem of smoldering ignition and requires upholstered furniture to be smolder resistant. The annex note is information and does not incorporate requirements Log #48 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, Reconsider the proposal in light of the Committee Statement [first paragraph that mentions sprinklers and detection, not sprinklers or detection] and member Thornberry s Explanation of Negative in which he contends that the committee acted in its ROP meeting so that the text of (1) would require BOTH automatic sprinklers and smoke detection, yet the text balloted connected the two items with the word or. The Committee Statement [first paragraph that mentions sprinklers and detection, not sprinklers or detection] and member Thornberry s point relative to sprinklers and detectors raises the issue of whether members voted for what they thought the action was rather than what was balloted. Was consensus reached on the subject? Log #49 SAF-MER Technical Correlating Committee on Safety to Life, Reconsider the action so as to add the recommended text by using the word replaced in lieu of updated or replaced for correlation with the action by SAF-END on Proposal The action by SAF-END on Proposal addresses SAF-MER s concern with the term updated. 11 Page 24 of 28

25 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #269 SAF-MER Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Reconsider to Accept as revised by SAF-END. Emergency forces notification shall be accomplished in accordance with when the existing fire alarm system is replaced. The revised text addresses Committee s concerns. It requires emergency forces notification in existing occupancy just as in a new occupancy. The basis of necessity is the same. It allows the occupancy to be improved to requirements of new but not until the system is replaced so as not to be retroactive. The emergency forces notification requirement of replacement systems needs to be explicitly stated Log #80 SAF-MER Marcelo M. Hirschler, GBH International / Rep. American Fire Safety Council Revise text to read as follows: The provisions of shall not apply to new upholstered furniture and mattresses. Upholstered furniture items that meet the heat release criteria specified in will exhibit improved fire performance. Mattresses that meet the heat release criteria specified in will exhibit improved fire performance.

The annex note is information and does not incorporate requirements. 12 Page 25 of 28

26 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #34 Technical Correlating Committee on Building Code, c Revise the definition to read as follows: Fifty percent of all major tenant areas and one hundred percent of all other floor areas designated for tenant occupancy and exclusive use including storage areas. The area of tenant occupancy is measured from the centerline of joint partitions to the outside of the tenant walls. All tenant areas including areas used for storage, are part of the gross leasable area. The last sentence of the definition currently starts with the words all tenant areas which include major tenants and then the newly added text adds in 50 percent of the major tenant areas so as to create a conflict in language. The suggested revision above clarifies these points Log #54 Technical Correlating Committee on Building Code, Review the action taken by BLD-BLC on proposal Proposal considers removal of the story height limits and area criteria from Chapter 7. No correlative action was considered as to how the allowable construction types for the occupancy chapters would be handled (in the Section) without such content Log #66 Technical Correlating Committee on Building Code, a Reconsider the action on this proposal to determine if latching is required or not. Section (3) appears to not require the latching hardware but implies that the occupancy chapters can offer a different option. The Occupancy Chapter TCs should review their chapter provisions applicable to smoke barriers and, if it is the TC s desire, revise text so as to specifically require latching in the appropriate locations. The occupancy chapters might need to be correlated with the change made to (3) Log #77 Technical Correlating Committee on Building Code, The committee is asked to develop an occupant load factor specific to high density call centers. The Comment on Affirmative correctly identifies the need to address non-typical, commercial office building work settings such as high-density call centers now that the occupant load factor for business occupancies is being changed from 100 sq ft per person to 150 sq ft per person. 1 Page 26 of 28

27 Report on Comments June 2011 NFPA Log #125a Dave Frable, U.S. General Services Administration Portions of Table not shown remain unchanged Business Use (other than below) 150 (ft 2 per person) 13.9 (m 2 per person) Concentrated use f 100 (ft 2 per person) 9.3 (m 2 per person) f For example, telephone call centers Several Technical Committee members raised a concern that revising the occupant load factor for business occupancies from 100 ft 2 per person to 150 ft 2 per person has not take into consideration non-typical commercial office building work settings such as concentrated use call centers. Therefore, I have attempted to address this concern by including a separate condition for determining the occupant load factor for non-typical commercial office building work settings (i.e., concentrated use ) that will remain at 100 ft 2 per person. The term concentrated use has been taken from the assembly use occupancy Log #180 Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Delete text to read as follows: Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #181 Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal Deleted text to read as follows: Reconsider to Reject. The substantiation is limited, US centric and a statistically small sample. It will also require reconsideration of single exit, common path, travel distance, and fire alarm thresholds based on occupant load Log #168 Ignatius Kapalczynski, CT Office of State Fire Marshal n Revised/New text to read as follows: Reconsider to Accept In Part. Interior wall finish materials complying with 10.2 shall be Class A, B, or C and interior ceiling finish materials complying with 10.2 shall be Class A or B. The proponents substantiation is based on wall finishes. The ceiling finish should remain unchanged. 2 Page 27 of 28
