12 Page 12 of 15 Based on the First Revision for the addition of the general chapter which added that all doors are to be installed and maintained in accordance with NFPA 80 except as modified, the wanted to make sure that when chutes are taken out of service permanently, the doors are removed properly while maintaining the fire-resistance rating of the chute enclosure. In order to maintain the rating of the chute enclosure (shaft), the openings need to be protected. When a chute is taken out of service, typically, the chute doors are left in place. This is fine, so long as these doors are not secured shut. When a door is permanently secured shut, it is no longer keeping the rating. Part of the fire resistance rating requirement for doors is to be able to inspect the door. If the door is not able to open, it is not considered to have the fire rating. It is this reason that the added in the requirements for decommissioning a chute, to give the users a method to remove the chute door while maintaining the rating of the chute enclosure.

15 Page 15 of 15 Second Revision No. 6-NFPA [ New Section after A.6.4 ] A The intake door in this section is in reference to the door located in the building that is the access opening into the exterior waste compactor. The door opens into the hopper that extends to the compactor. The hopper extension should extend at least 1.83 m (6 ft) beyond the building so that the angle does not cause blockage or a build-up of waste. As always, waste compactors and components should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. A The fire department access is typically a separate door into the compactor. This door allows for the fire department to easily access any potential fire within the compactor. Submittal Date: Wed Apr 03 15:07:11 EDT 2013 The added in some annex material to help further clarify the requirements added on external fed waste compactors. The recommended the distance of 6 ft from the building because during a survey of existing installations, most compactors where located more than 6 ft from the building. The distance of 6 ft is intended to give the user a distance that will allow for an angle to prevent waste building-up in the hopper. Additionally, as with most self-contained and breakaway compactors, there should be a separate fire department access door located on the compactor. The added in clarification for the reason why there should be a separate door and it being maintained.
