1 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 39-NFPA [ Global Input ] For Chapter 18, replace "spray paint area" with "spray area". "Spray area" is the term that is used throughout the document. This change is for consistency. Submitter Full Name: Geoffrey Raifsnider Organization: Global Finishing Solutions Submittal Date: Thu Nov 14 22:37:31 EST 2013 Committee Accepted Resolution: SR-15-NFPA Statement: "Spray area" is the term that is used throughout the document. This change is for consistency.

2 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 63-NFPA [ Global Input ] Suggested re-wording and comments have been provided below to the proposed wording for Chapter 18, to cover indoor membrane enclosures. Changes are in bold and italicized This additional material would be added to the First Revision 13, new Chapter 18, to cover indoor membrane enclosures Temporary membrane enclosures for spray painting boats in marina s shall be permitted to be installed in buildings provided all of the requirements of this chapter are complied with in design, installation, and conduct of spray paint operations within the enclosure Only shrink wrap material passing NFPA 701 Test 2 requirements shall be used for spray painting boats in marina buildings. The importance of the material is that it meets the requirements of NFPA 701 Test Method * Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall have a minimum of 25% of the exterior walls open and unobstructed Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed that do not have a minimum of 25% of the exterior walls open and unobstructed must exhaust the VOC gases to the exterior of the building through code compliant venting and meeting the venting requirements of chapter 7. In the marine industry it is common to have a building with 25% of the exterior wall open however in many other facilities this will not be the case. The intent is to exhaust gases out of the building in the same manner as other exhaust systems listed in NFPA 33. The will keep the LFL below the required minimum and protect workers from harmful gases released into the shop environment. A The openness requirement serves two purposes. First it helps to insure that any flammable vapors released as a part of spray painting are readily diluted while reducing the possibility of concentrations of flammable vapors in the building. Second, the openness requirement gives better access to responding firefighters in the event of a fire emergency. My concern with this wording is that flammable vapors should not be exhausted into an interior environment of any kind unless meeting the requirements of chapter 7.5. Flammable vapors should be exhausted as per the requirements of chapter 7 from the building Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall be provided with Automatic Sprinkler Systems in accordance with Section The automatic sprinkler system shall be designed for Extra Hazard (Group 2) occupancies, as defined in NFPA 13, Standard for the installation of Sprinkler Systems As per chapter , Pre-engineered extinguishing systems shall not be used for fire protection unless specifically listed for use in temporary membrane enclosures. The proposed changes are designed to incorporate industries including and beyond the marine industry. The changes are designed to improve the safety to operators and protection of the building.

3 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Submittal Date: Fri Nov 15 16:30:35 EST 2013 Committee Rejected but see related SR Resolution: SR-11-NFPA Statement: During the first revision the technical committee developed requirements for the use of membrane enclosures outside buildings based on public input from the marine industry. At that time the committee decided to put draft language into a committee input since there were still a number of unanswered questions that still needed review. A primary concern was the placement of a membrane enclosure inside a building where sprinklers were installed and could be obstructed by the membrane enclosure. The committee asked that NFPA 13 be consulted for further guidance on the issue. During the time between the first and second draft meeting, NFPA 13 had a first draft meeting and developed a Committee input based on a membrane product that had been evaluated by UL using UL Subject 723S and is currently listed as being suitable for being installed beneath sprinklers. The listed membrane product contains seams that will fail during a fire and as such, does not impact the ability of the water to reach the hazard being protected. The technical committee on finishing processes was informed about the new product and the task group on indoor membrane enclosures met to discuss the development of requirements that incorporated the use of such listed products. Since NFPA 13 and NFPA 33 were not in the same revision cycle, the task group of NFPA 33 realized that they would not have the benefit of knowing if the committee input on the use of the listed membrane would be incorporated into the next revision of NFPA 13. Therefore, the task group developed draft language for indoor membrane enclosures that was submitted to a task group of NFPA 13 for consideration and review. The NFPA 13 task group reviewed a draft document that had the same essential requirements as the submitted second revision. Language was incorporated into this second revision based on recommendations received from the NFPA 13 Task Group. The issue with the distance from the building was related to clearances for firefighting and not to exposure protection. There is general consensus in the committee that 15 feet would be a minimum clearance for firefighting. The AHJ always retains the ability to lower the clearances when equivalent protection is in place. The change in distance allowing less than 15 feet was deleted from this revision. The committee removed the requirement for 25% exterior wall opening since the membrane enclosures may be used for workpieces other than in the marine industry where there are not large wall openings. The intent is to exhaust air outside the building regardless of exterior wall openings. The committee discussed limiting the membrane enclosures to marine industry only as was the original intent of the public input. However after lengthy discussions the committee did not see any valid technical reason to limit the enclosures to marine industry only.

4 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 64-NFPA [ Global Input ] Incorporate the indoor use of membrane enclosures for marinas into Chapter 18. As advocates for boatyards and boat builders in the marine industry for 70 years, The American Boat Builders and Repairers Association is very aware of the use of temporary membrane enclosures both in boatyeards indoors and outdoors. In our observation, professional use of this spray-painting method includes use of necessary precautions accounting for safety and environmental conditions.

Spray painting in the marine industry is vital to the survival of repair and fabricating facilities throughout the country. This procedure has been performed for many years and membrane enclosures have been an intrigal part of the process to facilitate an acceptal finish. It is a containment source for smaller facilities and protection of the environment and air quality.

The use of membrane enclosures is important to this industry by allowing us to provide acceptable dust free finishes. On top of that, they allow us to reduce the release of overspray and contamination into the surrounding environment. For many years their use has reduced impact on air quality and environment.

Related Item Committee Input No. 14-NFPA [Global Input] Submitter Full Name: Roland Asp Organization: National Fire Sprinkler Association Submittal Date: Fri Nov 08 13:22:24 EST 2013 Committee Resolution: Rejected See Second Revision # 11 and committee statement explaining the reason why the committee decided after lengthy deliberations to include indoor membrane enclosures into Chapter 18 requirements. The concern for sprinkler obstruction is a valid concern which is the reason the committee asked the NFPA 13 committee to review the proposed change.

15 Comment to Committee Input 14 NFPA Identification of Submitter: Roland Asp, National Fire Sprinkler Association. Identification of NFPA Standard: NFPA Identification of paragraph: proposed sections , , , A , , Comments on CI No. 14 NFPA : This CI is exploring the possibility of expanding the first revision to create a new chapter 18, which will be applicable to temporary membrane enclosure in the outdoor environment, and allowing this practice in an indoor setting. The National Fire Sprinkler System is speaking against this proposed allowance and does not believe that it is good practice to allow spray painting, in unsprinklered temporary enclosures within buildings. As stated in this CI, the committee is soliciting public comments on allowing spray painting in temporary shrink wrap enclosures within a building. The challenge is to mitigate the potential for fire and not to increase the fire risk to the building where these temporary enclosures are located. Some of the proposed safeguards that have been proposed are to require the enclosure to be constructed of shrinkwrap material passing NFPA 701 Test 2, The building in which these enclosures are located must have the exterior walls at least 25% open in order to prevent vapor build up and allow fire department access and finally, the building must be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system designed for Extra Hazard (Group 2). The installation standards have long based effective fire protection on the principle of applying water or another extinguishing agent to the fire at the early stages so that the fire does not propagate to a size that may overwhelm the sprinkler system. The key is to control or suppress the fire when it is still of a manageable size. An unsprinklered enclosure by its very nature will make this accepted fire protection methodology difficult if not impossible to achieve. The enclosure will delay the heat from a fire from activating the ceiling sprinklers, and once activated, the discharge from these sprinklers will be obstructed from reaching the fire hazard. The risk is that a fire in this unsprinklered space, which may be filled with flammable vapors, will grow to the extent that it will not be able to be contained by the ceiling sprinkler system even one designed to Ordinary Hazard Group 2 densities. The you tube video of the fire demonstration in these enclosures does not rise to the standards of fire testing and may not be used to demonstrate that these unsprinklered temporary enclosures are safe on the inside of buildings. This demonstration did however raise several concerns: The fire (wooden crib) was relatively small and not indicative of a potential fire in spray painting application which would include significant flammable vapors in an enclosed space. Although the fire did burn through the shrink wrap enclosure directly over the fire, the hole in the enclosure above the active fire would certainly not allow an unimpeded discharge of water to reach the fire and is a significant obstruction to sprinkler discharge. Further the enclosure would delay the heat from activating the ceiling sprinklers. All these factors taken together indicate that the practice of allowing spray operations, inside buildings in unsprinklered enclosures is not acceptable and would significantly increase the risk of fire to the building, occupants, and fire fighters.

16 5 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 15-NFPA [ New Section after 3.3 ] TITLE OF NEW CONTENT 3.3.XX Hybrid water mist fire protection system. An extinguishing system that introduces both inert gas and water as an extinguishing media such that the oxygen concentration is between 12.5% and 16% at extinguishment. I have included water mist and hybrid fire protection systems to be allowed to be used as protection options in this standard. I have included the definition of a hybrid system since there is not an NFPA definition of this type of system. The committee resolved my public input stating that "NFPA 33 does not define other suppression systems. The definition is the responsibility of the committee for the applicable standard." The problem is the definition of a hybrid system is not covered by another NFPA standard. At the July 2013 Standards Council meeting, the Council rejected the request for the creation of a new standard covering hybrid extinguishing. NFPA 750 is the document most applicable to these types of systems, but the TC has yet to define them. Because of this, a definition of these types of systems in this document is appropriate. Submitter Full Name: Peter Thomas Organization: Victaulic Company Submittal Date: Tue Nov 12 10:52:53 EST 2013 Committee Resolution: Rejected NFPA 33 does not define any other suppression system within the document. NFPA 33 is not the appropriate document to define suppression systems.

21 0 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 7-NFPA [ New Section after ] Replace the new definition of Ventilation with a generic one from the glossary of terms Ventilation. The changing of air within a compartment by natural or mechanical means. As a representative of the GOT Committee, I can report that the GOT committee is against this change as it is written. The GOT Committee's work has been to create general and consistent definitions of the same term throughout the NFPA system of documents. The definition of Ventilation as used in NFPA 33 (before and after its ROP revision) is unique. The glossary of terms presently has too many definitions of Ventilation. In keeping with the goals of the GOT Committee as dictated by the Standards Council, the definition as proposed by this commenter is the most generic definition in the glossary, which is used by 4 documents (1925, 302, 402, 69). The specifics of the definition as proposed by NFPA 33 could be put in the annex material in order to use the generic definition.

22 1 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 23-NFPA [ Section No ] Ventilation. The natural or powered movement of conditioned or unconditioned air that is sufficient to prevent the accumulation of vapor to air concentrations greater than 25 percent of the lower flammable limit to or from any space. The first revision change does not fit well with how "Ventilation" is used throughout the document. There are many instances where ventilation is preceded with "mechanical", "positive pressure", and "positive mechanical". The requirement for 25% of the LFL is removed from the definition and allows the term to be used for both ventilation of flammable vapor areas and combustible dust areas. Submitter Full Name: Geoffrey Raifsnider Organization: Global Finishing Solutions Submittal Date: Wed Nov 13 20:53:09 EST 2013 Committee Rejected Resolution: See SR 2.

23 Public Comment No. 8-NFPA [ Section No ] Vessel. Any watercraft or Every description of watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on water, including special-purpose floating structures not primarily designed for or used as a means of transportation on water. [306: 2014] As a representative of the GOT Committee, I can report that the GOT committee is against this change as it is written. The GOT Committee's work has been to create general and consistent definitions of the same term throughout the NFPA system of documents. Adding this definition creates another unique definition in the glossary of terms. There is already a definition of Vessel used by NFPA 306; this definition should extract from 306.

24 3 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 14-NFPA [ Section No ] Limited Finishing Workstation. An apparatus that is capable of confining the vapors, mists, residues, dusts, or deposits that are generated by a spray application process and that meets the requirements of Section 14.3, but does not meet the requirements of a spray booth or spray room, as herein defined. A Limited finishing workstations meet the requirements of Section 14.3 of this standard. Definitions are not supposed to contain requirements. This public comment is submitted on behalf of the Glossary Committee on Terminology. Submitter Full Name: Marcelo Hirschler Organization: GBH International Affilliation: NFPA GOT Submittal Date: Sun Nov 10 13:18:41 EST 2013 Committee Rejected Resolution: The deletion as suggested change the meaning of the definition completely. A limited finishing workstation is a very specific type of ventilation enclosure and it must meet the requirements listed in Chapter 14. Without the reference to Chapter 14 the definition simply states that it is not a spray booth or spray room but is ANY apparatus that confines vapors. This could mean that it is any portable ventilation system including a flexible ventilation duct. No alternative wording was suggested by the submitter. The committee would consider alternative wording if suggested but there must be a reference to the requirements in Chapter 14.

25 Public Comment No. 24-NFPA [ Section No. 4.3 ] 4.3 * Locations Below Grade Basements. Spray booths, rooms, and areas shall not be located below the surrounding grade level in cases where flammable vapors are heavier (denser) than air Spray application operations conducted from pits to paint the underside of a workpiece shall be permitted in a basement unless all the following requirements are met: (1) A means of egress is provided that meets the requirements of Chapter (2) An access means is provided for emergency response personnel. The use of the term "Basement" better captures the location where it may be more hazardous to perform spray application processes. From NFPA 101, Basement: Any story of a building wholly or partly below grade plane that is not considered the first story above grade plane. The ventilation requirements of Chapter 7.2 address the hazards of vapors that may be heavier than air within a spray area. The new language addresses the egress and accessibility concerns.

These systems are perfectly acceptable for many applications including small mix rooms, large automotive refinish booths, dipping and coating operations. Either new Listings could be obtained or existing Listings for machine space applications can be utilized if acceptable to the AHJ. Water mist and hybrid systems are not only acceptable for many of these applications, they may be preferred due to the large clean-up operations that would be associated with some other types of extinguishing systems. By not including water mist and hybrid water mist extinguishing systems in the list of acceptable systems it may discourage their use by the assumption they are not allowed or are unsuitable. Including water mist and hybrid systems in the list can also encourage further testing and Listings by manufacturers.

38 7 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 21-NFPA [ Chapter 18 [Title Only] ] Spray Application Operations in Membrane Enclosures Revise Chapter 18 to address only Paint Spraying Using Marina Membrane Enclosures changing workpiece to vessel after all comments are addressed for this chapter. The Committee improperly opened the door to any type of temporary membrane enclosure without fully understanding what would be placed in the membrane enclosure, what portable enclosures exist that do and no established safety performance record for membrane enclosures in a non-marine environment. Temporary membrane enclosures for spray painting of marine vessels has been an established practice for well over a decade inside the United States and internationally without a single instance where a fire occurred inside of a membrane enclosure during spray painting or any other operation. Submitter Full Name: Gregory Cahanin Organization: Cahanin Fire & Code Consulting Affilliation: None Submittal Date: Wed Nov 13 17:39:21 EST 2013 Committee Resolution: Rejected The committee discussed the issue of limiting the chapter on membrane enclosures extensively and saw no technical reason to limit the requirements established in this chapter to the marine industry.

Spray application operations for parts removed from the workpiece shall be conducted in accordance with the other provisions of applicable NFPA 33 provisions. The proposed changes better express the intent of the scope statement with regard to the temporary nature of these enclosures and the reasoning that the Chapter 18 provisions are applied as being equal to existing permanent booths covered in NFPA 33.

40 9 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 31-NFPA [ New Section after ] Inner Membrane Material Where there is an interior disposal membrane, the membrane must meet the requirements of NFPA 701 test method 2. The inner membrane is to be changed after every spray operation which could include multiple coats for a single workpiece. Inner membrane is to be attached to the interior metal structure in order to create a smooth and continuous surface. This inner lining serves the purpose of capturing overspray by creating a smooth and continuous wall on the inside of the enclosure. This in turn eliminates buildup of overspray on the metal structure and exterior membrane. Submitter Full Name: RYAN WATT Organization: DUROAIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Submittal Date: Thu Nov 14 19:14:49 EST 2013 Committee Resolution: Rejected The existing standard does not preclude the use of liners. This language is not needed. See Chapter 10 of NFPA 33.

41 0 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 30-NFPA [ Section No ] Membrane material Any contaminated membrane material or membrane material with overspray build up shall not be reused for any other spray application operations. It is believed that a disposable inner membrane lining rated to NFPA 701 is a safer approach. This will provide a smooth and continuous inner surface which will protect the metal structure and exterior membrane from overspray build up and potential fire hazard. Submitter Full Name: RYAN WATT Organization: DUROAIR TECHNOLOGIES INC Submittal Date: Thu Nov 14 19:08:48 EST 2013 Committee Resolution: Rejected This comment relates to liners which are not precluded in the standard. Membrane enclosures are to be single use and are not to be reused.

42 1 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 45-NFPA [ Section No ] * Operations conducted within the enclosure other than spray applications shall meet the fire and safety requirements for those operations and are not addressed in this standard. These operations shall not take place while the spray application operation is in progress Hot work shall be in compliance with Chapter 10. Because of the size of marine vessels that began this new chapter is such that they cannot be moved, sanding and repairing of the vessel with the attendant advantage of controlling environmental conditions on the site is often performed while the enclosure is erected and not as a part of or during spray painting on the vessel. The clarifications in are intended to more clearly state NFPA 33 does not apply and the annex now better emphasizes the changes. Submitter Full Name: Gregory Cahanin Organization: Cahanin Fire & Code Consulting Submittal Date: Fri Nov 15 09:27:21 EST 2013 Committee Resolution: Rejected The scope of the document is clearly defined as is the scope of Chapter 18 and does not need to be further defined by indicating what is outside the scope of the standard.

43 2 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 42-NFPA [ New Section after 18.3 ] Incorporate the language into the new Chapter 18 for Membrane Enclosures. Spray painting in the marine industry in temporary enclosures has been performed indoors and outdoors for decades without a single fire event. The requirements for sprinkler protection as required for the storage of boats as a part of the use of membrane enclosures will provide a level of safety that exceeds the NFPA 33 requirements for dry chemical suppression systems alone. The material used for membrane enclosures in the marine environment in and of itself will not hinder the movement of heat to the ceiling of buildings or the activation of fire sprinklers to extinguish any possible fires from spray painting. Submitter Full Name: Gregory Cahanin Organization: Cahanin Fire & Code Consulting Submittal Date: Fri Nov 15 09:18:30 EST 2013 Committee Rejected but see related SR Resolution: SR-11-NFPA Statement: During the first revision the technical committee developed requirements for the use of membrane enclosures outside buildings based on public input from the marine industry. At that time the committee decided to put draft language into a committee input since there were still a number of unanswered questions that still needed review. A primary concern was the placement of a membrane enclosure inside a building where sprinklers were installed and could be obstructed by the membrane enclosure. The committee asked that NFPA 13 be consulted for further guidance on the issue. During the time between the first and second draft meeting, NFPA 13 had a first draft meeting and developed a Committee input based on a membrane product that had been evaluated by UL using UL Subject 723S and is currently listed as being suitable for being installed beneath sprinklers. The listed membrane product contains seams that will fail during a fire and as such, does not impact the ability of the water to reach the hazard being protected. The technical committee on finishing processes was informed about the new product and the task group on indoor membrane enclosures met to discuss the development of requirements that incorporated the use of such listed products. Since NFPA 13 and NFPA 33 were not in the same revision cycle, the task group of NFPA 33 realized that they would not have the benefit of knowing if the committee input on the use of the listed membrane would be incorporated into the next revision of NFPA 13. Therefore, the task group developed draft language for indoor membrane enclosures that was submitted to a task group of NFPA 13 for consideration and review. The NFPA 13 task group reviewed a draft document that had the same essential requirements as the submitted second revision. Language was incorporated into this second revision based on recommendations received from the NFPA 13 Task Group.

44 3 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM The issue with the distance from the building was related to clearances for firefighting and not to exposure protection. There is general consensus in the committee that 15 feet would be a minimum clearance for firefighting. The AHJ always retains the ability to lower the clearances when equivalent protection is in place. The change in distance allowing less than 15 feet was deleted from this revision. The committee removed the requirement for 25% exterior wall opening since the membrane enclosures may be used for workpieces other than in the marine industry where there are not large wall openings. The intent is to exhaust air outside the building regardless of exterior wall openings. The committee discussed limiting the membrane enclosures to marine industry only as was the original intent of the public input. However after lengthy discussions the committee did not see any valid technical reason to limit the enclosures to marine industry only.

45 4 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 47-NFPA [ New Section after 18.3 ] Outdoor temporary membrane enclosures and a 5-foot zone outside the enclosure, as stipulated in Section , shall be separated from permanent structures by a minimum of 15 feet or exposure protection shall be provided to all for separations of less than 15 feet The AHJ shall review and accept exposure protection designs and installations where membrane enclosures of less than 15 feet are desired prior to the installation of the membrane enclosure Temporary membrane enclosures shall be permitted to be installed in buildings provided all of the requirements of this chapter are complied with in design, installation, and conduct of spray paint operations within the enclosure * Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall have a minimum of 25% of the exterior walls open and unobstructed Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall be provided with Automatic Sprinkler Systems in accordance with Section The automatic sprinkler system shall be designed for Extra Hazard (Group 2) occupancies, as defined in NFPA 13, Standard for the installation of Sprinkler Systems adds an allowance to reduce the distance from the building with the presence of exposure protection of an acceptable type that could be considered. An acceptable type might be a water spray or deluge system on the exterior of the building operating either automatically or manually. Rather than dictate NFPA 13 provisions for the unknown workpiece in this standard it is better to allow for such protection and then clarify in the new that the AHJ has to approve of such a change. Exposure protection for buildings is well accepted for other applications and should be here as well. Section 3.2 and its subsections is a proposed use of enclosures in buildings with a minimum fire sprinkler classification consistent with the storage provisions for marine vessels. Submitter Full Name: Gregory Cahanin Organization: Cahanin Fire & Code Consulting Submittal Date: Fri Nov 15 09:31:14 EST 2013 Committee Rejected but see related SR Resolution: SR-11-NFPA Statement: During the first revision the technical committee developed requirements for the use of membrane enclosures outside buildings based on public input from the marine industry. At that time the committee decided to put draft language into a committee input since there were still a number of unanswered questions that still needed review. A primary concern was the placement of a membrane enclosure inside a building where sprinklers were installed and could be obstructed by the membrane enclosure. The committee asked that NFPA 13 be consulted for further guidance on the issue.

47 6 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 49-NFPA [ New Section after 18.3 ] Temporary membrane enclosures for spray painting boats in marina s shall be permitted to be installed in buildings provided all of the requirements of this chapter are complied with in design, installation, and conduct of spray paint operations within the enclosure Only shrink wrap material passing NFPA 701 Test 2 requirements shall be used for spray painting boats in marina buildings * Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall have a minimum of 25% of the exterior walls open and unobstructed Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall be provided with Automatic Sprinkler Systems in accordance with Section The automatic sprinkler system shall be designed for Extra Hazard (Group 2) occupancies, as defined in NFPA 13, Standard for the installation of Sprinkler Systems. A valid concern raised in the discussions of the testing of membrane materials was what about other materials besides shrink wrap material? Section 18.6 says you can use any material that passes the NFPA 701, Test 2 requirements. The simple answer is we don t know how those materials will react in a fire or with fire sprinklers. THEREFORE I am rewording the proposed text for marina use only for consideration. Marinas around the world have been spray painting in these membrane enclosures for well over a decade without a single fire while spray painting in and out of buildings. This standard chapter will add more checks and balances to a painting system that could readily be labeled as being inherently safe and made safer by the publication of this standard.

49 8 of 78 5/30/2014 2:08 PM Public Comment No. 62-NFPA [ New Section after 18.3 ] Temporary membrane enclosures for spray painting boats in marina s shall be permitted to be installed in buildings provided all of the requirements of this chapter are complied with in design, installation, and conduct of spray paint operations within the enclosure * The membrane material shall be listed for installation beneath sprinklers and in installed to meet the requirements of Section of NFPA 13. A There are membrane materials that have been investigated as a ceiling material in accordance with UL Subject 723S, Outline of Investigation for Drop-Out Ceilings Installed Beneath Automatic Sprinklers or as FM Class Number 4651, Plastic Suspended Ceiling Panels. Such membrane materials are designed such that the activation of the sprinkler and the ability of the sprinkler discharge to reach the hazard being protected are not adversely impacted * Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall have a minimum of 25% of the exterior walls open and unobstructed. A The openness requirement serves two purposes. First it helps to insure that any flammable vapors released as a part of spray painting are readily diluted while reducing the possibility of concentrations of flammable vapors in the building. Second, the openness requirement gives better access to responding firefighters in the event of a fire emergency Buildings in which temporary membrane enclosures are installed shall be provided with Automatic Sprinkler Systems in accordance with Section The automatic sprinkler system shall be designed for Extra Hazard (Group 2) occupancies, as defined in NFPA 13, Standard for the installation of Sprinkler Systems. With the exception of and A , the language is consistent with CI No. 14. The reference to NFPA 701 is not required since one of the requirements of complying with UL 723 is to be tested in accordance with UL 723, which is generally considered equivalent to ASTM E84. The actual permitted flame spread index and smoke developed index would be as permitted by the applicable building code, NFPA 101, or fire code. At least one membrane product has been evaluated by UL using UL Subject 723S and is currently listed as being suitable for being installed beneath sprinklers. The listed membrane product contains seams that will fail during a fire and as such, does not impact the ability of the water to reach the hazard being protected. The reference to Section of NFPA 13 brings in the following requirements: Drop-Out Ceilings Drop-out ceilings shall be permitted to be installed beneath sprinklers where ceilings are listed for that service and are installed in accordance with their listing Drop-out ceilings shall not be installed below quick-response or extended coverage sprinklers unless specifically listed for that application Drop-out ceilings shall not be considered ceilings within the context of this standard * Piping installed above drop-out ceilings shall not be considered concealed piping * Sprinklers shall not be installed beneath drop-out ceilings. The drop-out ceiling panels referenced by Section of NFPA 13 are evaluated by the same UL or FM documents as contained in the proposed A A Committee Input to revise Section to specifically reference ceiling materials such as the membrane materials permitted by this Public Comment was developed by the Technical Committee on Sprinkler System Discharge Criteria. It is anticipated that the Committee Input will be further evaluated during the Public Comment period based upon the Public Comments received.
