20 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: NFPA Staff Liaisons Amanda Kimball, Research Project Manager, Fire Protection Research Foundation Amy Cronin, Secretary, NFPA Standards Council DATE: 17 April 2012 SUBJECT: Results of 2012 Research Projects in Support of NFPA Codes and Standards Process In 2011, you received two memorandums from us asking for ideas on possible research projects to help support the work of NFPA Technical Committees. In response we received 74 submittals representing a wide spectrum of NFPA activities, almost double the number from Thanks to those of you who submitted research statements for 2012 proposed projects. The full list of this latest round of submittals is attached for your information. All project submittals were subjected to a thorough review by a project review panel, with consideration of factors such as relevance to mission, likelihood of success, other available funding, required time frame, relation to strategic research agenda, etc. As a result, the following projects have been selected, with the assistance of the Foundation s review panel, to receive full or partial funding support: Determining the Appropriate Emergency First Responder PPE for Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Fires (NFPA 70E, 1851, 1855, 1951, 1971, 1975, 1999) Guide to Applying Reliability Based Decision Making to ITM Frequency for Fire Protection Systems and Equipment (all NFPA standards that have inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements) Development of Quantitative Risk Assessment Examples for Operating Rooms (NFPA 99) Defining Emergency and Non Emergency Use of Buildings by Occupants (NFPA 1, 101, and 5000) Assessment of Emergency Responder Performance Characteristics for All Hazards Response Environments (NFPA 450, 610, 1001, 1003, 1006, 1021, 1026, 1035, 1051, 1061, 1081, 1091, 1201, 1221, 1250, 1404, 1410, 1500, 1521, 1581, 1600, 1620, 1710, 1720, 1851, 1852, 1855, 1951, 1971, 1975, and 1999) Community Paramedicine and the Integration of Health Care (New Project) Assessment of Total Evacuation Systems of Tall Buildings (NFPA 101) Sprinkler Protection for Cloud Ceilings (NFPA 13) Combustible Metals Case Studies (NFPA 484) In addition, several more candidate projects are still being evaluated may still go forward with partial funding, as student projects, or using external funding means. Projects still being considered include: Improved SCBA Face Mask Design and Testing (NFPA 1404, 1852, and 1981) Development of a Quantitative Risk Assessment Methodology Protocol for LNG Facilities Siting (NFPA 59A) Development of a Quantitative Risk Assessment Methodology for Mass Notification Systems (NFPA 72) Hydrant Flow Testing Study (NFPA 13 and 24) Assessing the List of Typical Oxidizers (NFPA 400) Page 20 of 58

These will be collected and reviewed on an annual basis. As you know the Research Foundation provides an important mechanism for facilitating research to support the work of NFPA Technical Committees, and we re fortunate to have this opportunity to address a limited number of projects. For those projects that are not going forward at this time, we will reassess and consider them for funding next year if they are still relevant to the Technical Committee(s) involved. Please contact us if you have any questions; thanks again for your help with this initiative. c: TC and TCC Chairs Page 21 of 58

25 9. Increasing Attendance at Technical Committee Meetings. Robert Solomon reported on the NFPA goal of increasing attendance at technical committee meetings. Efforts are being made to attract participants from the geographic area where the committee meeting is being held via communication with professional groups. Use of social media is being considered. Participation via telephone and Microsoft Live Meeting is being considered for committees with few Public Input items and for which short duration meetings are expected. 10. New Codes and Standards Revision Process. Robert Solomon used a PowerPoint presentation, for which handouts of the slides were distributed by on March 12, to explain terminology and the workings of the new revision process. Approximately 1.5 hours into the review, it was agreed to leave this agenda item and move to the agenda item addressing the identification of subject areas for technical committee focus during the upcoming revision cycle. 11. Subject Areas for TC Focus During 2015 Edition Revision Cycle. The correlating committees reviewed the list of 36 subject areas as prepared by staff mainly from committee meeting minutes distributed with the agenda. Item 36 referenced the subjects detailed in the SAF-AAC meeting minutes of January 6, 2011, also included in the agenda packet. Members introduced additional items for consideration, including those received via from Jim Lathrop, chair of BLD/SAF-MEA who was unable to participate in the meeting. The following is a list of subject areas that the technical committees are already scheduled to address or are asked by the correlating committees to address for preparation of NFPA and NFPA No. Subject Notes 1 Glossary of Terms (GOT) TCs are asked to remove requirements from documents. Place requirements in code provisions. Document or Committee Impacted NFPA 101 NFPA 5000 All TCs All TCs Up-to-date GOT, with designation of assigned TC and preferred definition, does not exist. TCs are asked to respond to PIs relative to definitions and to do their best relative to moving toward standardization. Efforts needed to implement new revision process might preclude much effort from being expended on GOT issues. 2 Update requirements Correlation needed Not AXM, BCF, BLD AAC and SAF AAC pre First Draft planning meeting March 13, 2012 Page 7 Page 25 of 58

Consider formation of a Task Group comprised of members from BLC, BSY, SCM as well as NEC-AAC, FCC-AAA and a representative of the NFPA Fire Service Section to look at the issue and develop a recommendation. 8 Revise or remove Height and Area tables in NFPA 5000 Area limitations in Table were questioned during last cycle.
