A three-dimensional space that is Structures, usually enclosed by walls and a roof and a wall or walls that cover more than one-half of the possible area of the sides of the space, is of sufficient size to allow entry by personnel, will likely limit the dissipation of heat or dispersion of vapors, and restricts access for fire fighting., constructed to provide support or shelter for an intended occupancy.

Table 4.2.3.1(a) Location of Process Vessels Process Vessels Having Emergency Relief Venting to Permit Pressure (psig) Stable Liquids Unstable Liquids 2.5 >2.5 For SI units, 2.5 psig = gauge pressure of 17.2 kpa.

Exception: As provided for in 4.2.3.2 Process vessels located in accordance with Section need not meet the distances specified in Tables 4.2.3. 1(a) or 4.2. 3. 1(b). This proposal eliminates one of six exceptions in the document as recommended by NFPA s Manual of Style.

Public Input No. 14-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 4.2.3.3 ] 4.2.3.3 The distances required in 4.2.3.1 shall be permitted to be waived where both of the following criteria are met: (1) The vessels are housed within a building. (2) The exterior wall of the building facing the line of adjoining property that can be built upon is a blank wall without openings having a minimum 2-hour fire resistance rating. The term blank wall is undefined, and can mean many things such as without graphics or color or appurtenances. This change clarifies that the intent is a wall without openings. Also, it is assumed that no openings includes no penetrations.

Public Input No. 2-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 4.2.3.3 ] 4.2.3.3 The distances required in 4.2.3.1 shall be permitted to be waived modified where approved by the AHJ and both of the following criteria are met: (1) The vessels are housed within a building. (2) The exterior wall of the building facing the line of adjoining property that can be built upon is a blank wall having a minimum 2-hour fire resistance rating. The AHJ should have the final say on any reduction of protection. 1.5 deals with equivalency no where should the standard waive a requirement the correct term is modify.

Public Input No. 3-NFPA 35-2013 [ Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 ] Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 5.1.1 The buildings shall be of fire-resistive or noncombustible construction without basements. 5.1.2 The building shall have no basements. 5.1.3 The first floor of the buildings shall be at or above the grade to provide water drainage and vapor diffusion. As written, 5.1.1 can be construed as meaning that buildings of other types of construction are permitted with basements. In essence there are two distinct requirements; 1) building must be fire-resistive or noncombustible and 2) they are not permitted to have basements.

Public Input No. 4-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 5.4.1.2 ] 5.4.1.2 Ventilation shall be provided at a rate of not less than 1 cfm/ft 2 (0.3 m 3 solid floor area. (300 L /min / per m 2 ) of No change in ventilation rate criteria, but current conversion is unconventional. Recommended metric conversion is more suitable; such as that found in NFPA 88A: section 6.3.1.

Public Input No. 15-NFPA 35-2014 [ Section No. 5.6.5 ] 5.6.5 Where the provisions of this section require the installation of Class I, Division 1 or Class I, Division 2 electrical equipment, ordinary electrical equipment, including switch gear, shall be permitted to be used if the following requirements are met: (1) The electrical equipment shall be installed in a room or enclosure that is maintained under positive pressure with respect to the classified area in accordance with NFPA 496, Standard for Purged and Pressurized Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. (2) Ventilation makeup air shall not be contaminated. (3) Pressurized rooms and enclosures in classified areas shall be designed to prevent the flow of liquids into the rooms or enclosures. (4) Electrical wiring and equipment within pits of elevator and dumbwaiter hoistways shall be intrinsically safe or meet Class1, Division 2 wiring methods. Elevators and hoistways locations are often not recognized for wiring method requirements for buildings. There are conflicts between ASME A17.1 and the NEC for wiring methods in hoistway pits. This clarifies that the provisions for the NEC must be followed, especially given the nature of this hazardous location.

Public Input No. 7-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 6.1.1.1 ] 6.1.1.1 Where liquid transfer is by gravity flow, one or more fail-closed, remotely actuated valves shall be provided at suitable locations in the piping system to stop the flow of liquids in an emergency. Operation of these valves shall be by means of emergency shut-offs located near each point of use and at the storage tanks. Exception: Emergency 6.1.1.1.1 Emergency shut-offs shall not be required at the storage tanks if the remotely actuated valves are closed automatically by a fire detection, fire suppression, or fire alarm system. This proposal eliminates one of six exceptions in the document as recommended by NFPA s Manual of Style.

0 Public Input No. 8-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 6.1.1.2 ] 6.1.1.2 * Where liquid transfer is by pumps, one or more emergency switches shall be provided to shut down all pumps and to stop the flow of liquids in an emergency. The emergency switches shall be located at exits from the process areas, at other safe locations outside the process areas, and at the pumps. Exception: Emergency 6.1.1.2.1 Emergency switches shall not be required at the pumps if the pumps are shut off automatically by a fire detection, fire suppression, or fire alarm system. This proposal eliminates one of six exceptions in the document as recommended by NFPA s Manual of Style.

1 Public Input No. 9-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 9.5.1.6 ] 9.5.1.6 * Bonding clamps for portable equipment shall be of the opposed-point type and shall be attached so that metal-to-metal contact with bonded equipment is assured. Exception: Other 9.5.1.6.1 Other types of clamps that provide secure metal-to-metal contact shall be permitted to be used. This proposal eliminates one of six exceptions in the document as recommended by NFPA s Manual of Style.

2 Public Input No. 5-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 9.5.2 ] 9.5.2 Plastic Piping. Powders shall not only be conveyed through solid plastic piping that is not antistatic is antistatic. The current language employs a double negative that can be confusing to the reader. The revised wording would seem to make more sense antistatic plastic piping is the only acceptable means to convey powders.

3 Public Input No. 10-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 10.2 ] 10.2 Basic Requirements. Organic coatings manufacturing operations that involve the use of flammable and combustible liquids handled at temperatures at or above their flash points shall be reviewed to ensure that fire and explosion hazards resulting from loss of containment of liquids are provided with corresponding fire prevention and emergency action plans. Exception: Operations that involve only the use of Class II or Class III liquids handled at temperatures below their flash points and that do not involve the use of Class I liquids need not undergo this review. This proposal eliminates one of six exceptions in the document as recommended by NFPA s Manual of Style. Submitter Full Name: Doug Hohbein Organization: Northcentral Fire Code Develop Submittal Date: Tue Oct 15 16:44:40 EDT 2013
4 Public Input No. 11-NFPA 35-2013 [ Section No. 12.2.3 ] 12.2.3 Provisions shall be made for training, inspection, and testing of associated alarms, interlocks, and controls. Exception: Where 12.2.3.1 Where shutdown of an operation would increase the hazard, other emergency procedures shall be permitted to be established. This proposal eliminates one of six exceptions in the document as recommended by NFPA s Manual of Style.
