31 0 of 259 5/17/2016 9:43 AM Public Comment No. 199-NFPA [ Section No ] 4.1.3* Hazardous Materials Emergencies. An additional goal is to provide reasonable life safety during emergency events involving hazardous materials regulated by NFPA 30, NFPA 45, NFPA 54, NFPA 55, NFPA 58, NFPA 400, and NFPA Buildings with occupants at high risk for falls shall be designed, constructed and maintained to reduce the probability of injury, including death, to occupants from falls during normal use of means of egress as well as during emergency use. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment This is one of those concepts which is intuitive and common sense at first review but upon further meditation would lead to the question: Should we expect the scope of NFPA 101 to soon require occupants to wear head protection? Our concern is for the additional cost which cannot be correlated with proportional benefit in, for example, student residence facilities. In the safety space, every safety expert has their special hazard, frequently without regard for the 999 other hazards that exist in the built environment. Only the user/owner/final fiduciary has to reconcile the good intentions of safety experts with the economic risk that the organization, with 100% conformity to the 1000 s of standards of care,cannot remain in business. The proposal, while well-meaning and justified is just another one of the 1000 s of fractional percentage costs that accumulate every year. The modification that we propose is one that permits a distinction between an elderly residence, a college dormitory, and other risk profiles in between.

A material shall be considered a limited-combustible material where all the conditions of and , and the conditions of either or , are met The material shall not comply with the requirements for noncombustible material in accordance with The material, in the form in which it is used, shall exhibit a potential heat value not exceeding 3500 Btu/lb (8141 kj/kg) where tested in accordance with NFPA The material shall have the structural base of a noncombustible material with a surfacing not exceeding a thickness of 1 8 in. (3.2 mm) where the surfacing exhibits a flame spread index not greater than 50 when tested in accordance with ASTM E84, Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, or ANSI/UL 723, Standard for Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials The material shall be composed of materials that, in the form and thickness used, neither exhibit a flame spread index greater than 25 nor evidence of continued progressive combustion when tested in accordance with ASTM E84, Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, or ANSI/UL 723, Standard for Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, and shall be of such composition that all surfaces that would be exposed by cutting through the material on any plane would neither exhibit a flame spread index greater than 25 nor exhibit evidence of continued progressive combustion when tested in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL An alternate approach for a material to be considered a limited combustible material is where the material is tested in accordance with ASTM E2965, Standard Test for Determination of Low Levels of Heat Release Rate for Materials and Products Using an Oxygen Combustion Calorimeter at an incident heat flux of 75 kw/m 2 for a 20 minute exposure and: (a) the peak heat relase rate does not exceed 150 kw/m 2 for longer than 10 seconds and (b) the total heat released does not exceed 8 MJ/m Where the term limited-combustible is used in this Code, it shall also include the term noncombustible. (Also, add ASTM E2965, Standard Test for Determination of Low Levels of Heat Release Rate for Materials and Products Using an Oxygen Consumption Calorimeter, 2016, into chapter 2 on referenced ASTM standards) Additional Proposed Changes File Name Description Approved Tables_showing_test_results.docx Test results from Urbas 2002 Tables_showing_test_results_Janssens.docx Test results from Carpenter & Janssens NFPA_101_PI_189_MMH_limited_combustible.pdf Original public input Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment The technical committee has stated that it would like to see more data and would perhaps consider a lower heat release rate threshold once it understands what the criteria are based on. I attach information on tests conducted on a variety of materials with the equipment (and with slight variations in testing which will not make a significant difference for limited combustible materials). The proposed test (ASTM E2965) is a variation of the cone calorimeter (ASTM E1354) with a much larger test specimen (150 mm x 150 mm instead of 100 mm x 100 mm), a larger radiant heat source and a slower duct flow rate. This test has been developed specifically to identify materials that are of very low levels of heat release. If a material has very low levels of heat release it will have very low levels of combustibility. The scope of ASTM E2965 includes the following: "This test method differs from ASTM E1354 in that it prescribes a different specific test specimen size, specimen holder, test specimen orientation, and volumetric flow rate for analyses via oxygen consumption calorimetry. It is intended for use on materials and products that contain only small amounts of combustible ingredients or components e.g. test specimens that yield a total heat release of less than 15 MJ/m2." The significance and use states as follows: "This test method is used primarily to determine the heat evolved in, or contributed to, a fire involving materials or products that emit low levels of heat release. The recommended use for this test method is for materials with a total heat release rate measured of less than 10 MJ over the first 20 min test period, and which do not give peak heat release rates of more than 200kW/m2 for periods extending more than 10 seconds. Also included is a determination of the effective heat of combustion, mass loss rate, the time to sustained flaming, and (optionally) smoke Page 34 of 137

35 3 of 259 5/17/2016 9:43 AM production. These properties are determined on small size test specimens that are representative of those in the intended end use. " In this public comment I also propose a lower threshold, of 150 kw/m2, as this would be the first cycle where the proposed approach would be used. I don't want to repeat all the information provided earlier, during the public input, as this information is clearly already available to the committee. Please note that this is not intended to replace the NFPA 259 test for the assessment of limited combustibility but is an alternate approach and will, thus, have no influence on any material or product assessed in the traditional way in the past. Information in terms of the abstract from a study made with the cone calorimeter before developing ASTM E2965 by J. Urbas (2002) and from a follow-up study by M. Janssens and K. Carpenter (2005) follows. Attached tables from Urbas indicate that (out of 16 materials assessed) 1 material would qualify easily under the criteria shown, namely SPRF (sprayed fire resistant material on non-combustible backing), and that 5/8" Type X Gypsum Board would most likely qualify (in 3 out of 4 labs) while several other materials would fail primarily on total heat released (the most severe property). On the other hand paper-faced glass wool would fail on peak heat release rate and not on total heat released. Attached tables from Carpenter & Janssens (one of the labs used by the Urbas study) indicates similar types of results as above. This shows that the criteria used are consistent with what would happen for limited combustible materials under the present criteria and that nothing unacceptable would "sneak" in. The data in the attached tables was taken at exposures to 75 kw/m2 for 20 min, just like the proposed new criteria. BDMC interlaboratory cone calorimeter test programme by Joe Urbas (Fire Mater. 2002; 26: 29 35) Abstract: In the spring of 1997, seven companies and industry associations from the USA and Canada decided to sponsor the cone calorimeter interlaboratory test programme. Reproducibility and repeatability were determined for the scalar variables measured in the cone calorimeter (ASTM E1354) according to the protocol developed by the Board for the Coordination of the Model Codes. The main requirement of the protocol was that the sample irradiance should be 75kW/m2. The purpose of the project was to assist the model building code organizations, NFPA and various other groups in the development of a system to determine degrees of combustibility of building materials. Three US and one Canadian laboratory agreed to conduct tests on 16 materials. The results of this round robin show that the cone calorimeter, following the Board for the Coordination of the Model Codes protocol, can provide precision similar to that cited in the current cone calorimeter standards. It is recommended that further improvements of the standards are pursued and provisions are made to improve the quality of operation of the cone calorimeter in commercial laboratories to maintain and possibly improve its repeatability and reproducibility. Using Heat Release Rate to Assess Combustibility of Building Products in the Cone Calorimeter by Karen Carpenter and Marc Janssens (Fire Technology , 2005) Abstract: Building codes generally permit unlimited use of materials that contribute negligible quantities of heat in the event of a fire. These materials are referred to as non-combustible. Whether a material qualifies as being non-combustible is generally based on performance in a small-scale furnace test, or on its potential heat content measured in an oxygen bomb calorimeter. However, furnace and oxygen bomb methods to assess combustibility have serious limitations. The most significant limitations are that materials cannot be evaluated in their end use configuration, that test conditions are not representative of real fire exposure conditions, and that the test results do not provide a realistic measure of the expected heat release rate. These limitations lead to the idea of exploring the use of small-scale heat release calorimeters to assess material combustibility. The Cone Calorimeter has emerged in recent years as the most widely used apparatus for this application. In this paper, an overview is presented of past efforts to assess combustibility based on heat release rate measurements. The main results of the most recent Cone Calorimeter round robin conducted in North America are discussed. It is concluded from the results of this round robin that the Cone Calorimeter is indeed suitable for measuring heat release rate from materials and products with low heat content. Limitations due to Cone Calorimeter specimen size can be alleviated by using a larger calorimeter, such as the Intermediate Scale Calorimeter or ICAL (ASTM E 1623.) However, more research is needed to extend the correlation between Cone Calorimeter and ICAL data to a wider range of materials. The biggest challenge is perhaps the implementation of a system to assess combustibility on the basis of heat release rate in the building codes. Implementation could consist of a classification system that is accepted as an alternative to the present prescriptive requirements and/or promoting the use of heat release rate data in performance-based design.
