12 TO: FROM: Technical Committee on Commissioning Fire Protection Systems Linda Fuller DATE: August 11, 2011 SUBJECT: Proposed New Document NFPA 4, Standard for Integrated Testing of Fire Protection Systems I am transmitting to you herewith the following action of the Standards Council (August 8-11, 2011): At the February/March 2011 meeting, the Council reviewed the request of the Technical Committee (TC) on Commissioning Fire Protection Systems to develop a new document, NFPA 4, Standard for Integrated Testing of Fire Protection Systems. At that time, the Council voted to solicit public comments on the need for the project, information on resources on the subject matter, those interested in participating if established, and other organizations actively involved with the subject. The Council received 20 public comments. After review of all the information before it, the Council has voted to approve the development of NFPA 4, Standard for Integrated Testing of Fire Protection Systems. The Council believes that a single Technical Committee ought to be responsible for developing both NFPA 3, Recommended Practice on Commissioning and Integrated Testing of Fire Protection and Life Safety Systems, and the new NFPA 4. The new NFPA 4, however, calls for a review of the committee structure of the current TC and a fresh consideration of the interests and balance appropriate to a technical committee responsible for both NFPA 3 and NFPA 4. In particular, the new NFPA 4 will need a technical committee makeup that maximizes the ability to provide the coordination among the many documents and responsible committees that will be necessary to make this complex effort a success. Accordingly, the Council intends to reconstitute the TC under a new name and updated committee scope, and it will do so after conducting a full review of the structure and membership of the TC to ensure the expertise and the representation of the membership is appropriate to the expanded tasks before the Committee. The Council is requesting staff to provide it with recommendations concerning the name and scope of the reconstituted TC and to issue a call for members for the TC. All current members of the TC on Commissioning Fire Protection Systems members who are interested are encouraged to submit a committee application so that they can be considered for membership on the newly constituted committee. Anyone wishing to be considered for committee membership should send their application to NFPA no later than September 1, The Council will review all candidates for the new TC at the October 2011 Council meeting. So as to provide guidance as to the scope of the new NFPA 4 integrated testing document that the Council will be assigning to the new committee to develop, the Council is providing the following draft document scope as follows:

13 The standard shall provide the minimum requirements for integrated testing of fire protection and life safety systems. These requirements include protocol for testing procedures, responsibilities for various parties, methods and documentation for verifying the operational readiness and sequence of integrated systems. The standard is designed to ensure that interconnected active and passive fire protection and life safety systems operate as intended. The standard shall not require integrated testing but shall provide minimum requirements for integrating testing where such testing is required by another code, standard, or design document or by an Authority Having Jurisdiction. The standard shall not provide testing requirements, including test procedures or test frequencies, for individual systems. c: M. Brodoff, A. Cronin, C. Dubay, R. Bielen, M. Klaus, D. Baio, C.

14 TO: FROM: Technical Committees on Signaling Systems Linda Fuller DATE: September 20, 2011 SUBJECT: Report of the Summit Task Group on Inspection Testing and Maintenance I am transmitting to you herewith the following action of the Standards Council (August 8-11, 2011): The Council heard a report from the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance Summit Task Group. This Task Group was made up of various NFPA Committee members that participated in the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance Summit held in May of The Report that was received by the Council requested the Council review and consider the following three areas: 1. A request for the Council to revise the scope of the NFPA 72 Technical Committee on Testing and Maintenance of Fire Alarm Systems (SIG-TMS) to include the authority to require limited testing of other interconnected fire protection or life safety systems in accordance with the requirements of standard(s) that have primary jurisdiction of these other systems in order to ensure the integrity of the systems interface. 2. A request for the Council to allow the Technical Committee on Testing and Maintenance of Fire Alarm Systems (SIG-TMS) to temporarily revise their scope to include the authority to require complete end-to-end testing of other interconnected fire protection or life safety systems, at the initial acceptance test, in accordance with the requirements of standard(s) that have primary jurisdiction of these other systems. This temporary scope shall be in force only until such time as a standard is available addressing mandatory requirements for complete testing of interconnected systems. 3. A request for the Council to issue a general directive for all committees that are involved with systems or components that interconnect with fire alarm and signaling systems to coordinate requirements for both limited and complete end-to-end integrated testing of interconnected systems. This coordination needs to specifically identify and address the interfaces between systems and provide a degree of consistency and overlap between standards sufficient to ensure that system interfaces are operational and remain intact.

15 In reviewing this Report, the Council acknowledges that integrated systems and maintenance is an important issue and should be addressed. After review of all the material before them, the Council voted not to take the actions requested in the Report. The Council determined that NFPA 72 Committees (TCs) should stay focused on their individual systems relating to fire alarms and signaling systems. The Council has approved the development of NFPA 4, Standard for Integrated Testing of Fire Protection Systems, which is intended to cover all testing of interconnected systems, including interface testing, integrated testing and end-to-end testing. The Council directs the NFPA 72 Committees to address issues of integrated testing related to its systems by providing input on the content of NFPA 4 through the submission of proposals and comments and through TC member representation that is anticipated will be appointed to the NFPA 4 Committee. During the Proposals stage of the A2012 cycle, the NFPA 72 TC s accepted proposals addressing testing of interconnected systems, including testing at the interface with other systems. These revisions should be rejected by the NFPA 72 TCs during the Comment stage, as they address concepts outside of their scope. This proposed language, along with all of the supporting material, should then be submitted to the NFPA 4 TC, as appropriate, as proposals (public input) during the A2014 cycle. The Council understands and appreciates the efforts that are being made to consider and address integrated testing. The Council believes, however, that the best and most effective approach to developing requirements on integrated testing is to work, through the process that is now beginning, to develop the new NFPA 4 as a dedicated document on the subject. To that end, the NFPA 4 Committee will require cooperation and input from the related systems Committees and the Council encourages all relevant Committees to participate to the fullest. c: L.
