1 National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA Phone: Fax: M E M O R A N D U M To: From: NFPA Technical Committee on Water Additives for Fire Control and Vapor Mitigation Sarah Caldwell, Project Administrator Date: August 27, 2015 Subject: NFPA 1150 First Draft TC FINAL Ballot Results (F2016) According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot. 10 Members Eligible to Vote 2 Not Returned (B. Foster, R. Tinsley) 8 Affirmative on All Revisions (w/comment: M. Greiner) 0 Negative on one or more Revisions 0 Abstentions on one or more Revisions The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each first revision. There are two criteria necessary for each first revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2 /3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined. (1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote 2 = = 11) (2) Example for Affirmative 2 /3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote 1 not returned 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = = 12 ) As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

5 First Revision No. 9-NFPA [ Section No ] Labeling. The manufacturer shall provide the following information on a label that is permanently attached to the concentrate container: (1) Manufacturer name and address (2) Product name, lot number, and date of manufacture (3) Emergency and first-aid instructions (4) Volume (liters and U.S. gallons) of concentrate in container (5) Statement that product meets all requirements of NFPA 1150 ( edition) when used within the range of 0.1 and 1.0 percent (6) Statement directing attention of user to product data sheet Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: JACQUELINE WILMOT Organization: NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOC Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Wed Jul 08 09:31:12 EDT 2015 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Response Message: Ballot Results This item has passed ballot 10 Eligible Voters 2 Not Returned 7 Affirmative All 1 Affirmative with Comments 0 Negative with Comments 0 Abstention Updated the reference to NFPA 1150 to the most recent edition in accordance with the NFPA Manual of Style.

Remove statement #5 ==> [ 5) Statement that product meets all requirements of NFPA 1150 (2017 edition) when used within the range of 0.1 and 1.0 percent.] and add in some actual listing criteria: 1. NFPA 11 products are listed and have to pass Class B Fire Test. 2. NFPA 18 products are listed and have to pass both Class A and Class B fire tests. 3. NFPA 18A products are listed and have to pass Class A, Class B, Class B 3D fire Tests. 4. There is no Listing criteria or actual fire test in NFPA Does anyone else find it odd that we are the National Fire Protection Association and we have a complete category of agent, Class A foam, and at not point does this agent have to demonstrate it can actually put out a fire and provide adequate re-ignition resistance! This appears to be a oversight by the previous TC within this standard. I know many manufacturers list to NFPA 18 due to a lack of fire test in NFPA 1150 which could cause confusion for fire service personnel. Are you a Wetting Agent or a Class A Foam?

7 First Revision No. 8-NFPA [ New Section after ] Alternate Viscosity Test Methods * Where the preferred method does not provide usable results, an alternative test method shall be permitted Where an alternative test method is used, the method and test conditions shall be documented and reported with the results.
