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 e-mail 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 e-mail 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 101-2015 and NFPA 5000-2015.

TCs are asked to remove requirements from documents. Place requirements in code provisions. 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.

BLD/SAF-DET NFPA 5000/101 Changes Needed for Correlation

NFPA 5000 (21.1.1.1)

21.1.1.1 General.

21.1.1.1.1 The requirements of this chapter shall apply to new buildings or portions thereof used as a detention and correctional occupancy, unless otherwise permitted by the following:

(1) The requirements of this chapter shall not apply to Use Condition I facilities protected as residential occupancies in accordance with 21.1.3.3.

(2) The requirements of this chapter shall not apply to facilities where the authority having jurisdiction has determined equivalent safety has been provided in accordance with Section 1.5.

21.1.1.1.2 Administration. The provisions of Chapter 1, Administration, shall apply. 21.1.1.1.3 General. The provisions of Chapter 4, General, shall apply. Substantiation: Correlation with formatting and mandatory “pointer” references as done in NFPA 101. _____

NFPA 5000 (21.1.1.4 through 21.1.5)

21.1.1.4* Detention and correctional occupancies shall include those occupancies that provide sleeping facilities for one or more residents and are occupied by persons who are generally prevented from taking self-preservation action because of security measures not under the occupants' control. 21.1.1.5* Lockups, in other than detention and correctional occupancies and health care occupancies, shall comply with the requirements of 21.4.5.

21.1.1.6 21.1.1.5 Total Concept.

21.1.1.6.1 All detention and correctional facilities shall be designed, constructed, maintained, and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire emergency.

21.1.1.6.2 Because the safety of all occupants in detention and correctional facilities cannot be adequately ensured solely by dependence on evacuation of the building, their protection from fire shall be provided by appropriate arrangement of facilities; adequate, trained staff; and development of operating, security, and maintenance procedures composed of the following:

(1) Design, construction, and compartmentation

(2) Provision for detection, alarm, and extinguishment

Page 27 of 40

2

(3) Fire prevention; and planning, training, and drilling in programs for the isolation of fire, transfer of occupants to areas of refuge, evacuation of the building, or protection of occupants in place

(4) Provision of security to the degree necessary for the safety of the public and the occupants of the facility

21.1.1.6* Lockups, in other than detention and correctional occupancies and health care occupancies, shall comply with the requirements of 21.4.5.

21.1.2 Classification of Occupancy.

21.1.2.1* For application of the safety requirements that follow, the resident use condition is divided into five groups and shall be as specified in 21.1.2.1.1 through 21.1.2.1.5.

21.1.2.1.1 Use Condition I — Free Egress. Use Condition I shall be that use condition for which free movement is allowed from sleeping areas and other spaces where access or occupancy is permitted to the exterior via means of egress that meet the requirements of this Code.

21.1.2.1.2 Use Condition II — Zoned Egress. Use Condition II shall be that use condition for which free movement is allowed from sleeping areas and any other occupied smoke compartment to one or more other smoke compartments.

21.1.2.1.3 Use Condition III — Zoned Impeded Egress. Use Condition III shall be that use condition for which free movement is allowed within individual smoke compartments, such as within a residential unit comprised of individual sleeping rooms and group activity space, with egress impeded by remote-controlled release of means of egress from such smoke compartment to another smoke compartment.

21.1.2.1.4 Use Condition IV — Impeded Egress.

In many institutions, all, or almost all, the occupancy-type classifications found in this Code are represented. Means of egress and other features are governed by the type of occupancy classification and the hazard of occupancy, unless specific exceptions are made.

All buildings and structures are to be classified using Chapter 21 and Section 6.1 as a guide, subject to the ruling of the authority having jurisdiction where there is a question as to the proper classification of any individual building or structure.

Use condition classification of the institution, as well as individual areas within the complex, is always to be considered by the authority having jurisdiction.

The extent and nature of facility utilization will vary according to the type of facility, its function, and its programs. Figure A.21.1.2.1 A.21.1.3.1 illustrates the five use conditions.

****INSERT FIGURE HERE****

FIGURE A.21.1.2.1 A.21.1.3.1 Detention and Correctional Use Conditions.

A.21.1.2.2 A.21.1.3.2 Prompt operation is intended to be accomplished in the period of time between detection of fire by either the smoke detector(s) required by 21.3.4.4 or by other means, whichever occurs first, and the advent of intolerable conditions forcing emergency evacuation. Fire tests have indicated that the time available is a function of the volume and height of the space involved and the rate of fire development. In traditional one-story corridor arrangements, the time between detection by smoke detectors and the advent of lethal conditions down to head height can be as short as approximately 3 minutes. In addition, it should be expected that approximately 1 minute will be required to evacuate all the occupants of a threatened smoke compartment once the locks are released. In such a case, a prompt release time would be 2 minutes.

A.21.1.2.3(2) A.21.1.3.3(2) If the Use Condition I facility conforms to the requirements of residential occupancies under this Code, there are no staffing requirements. If the Use Condition I facility conforms to the requirements of Use Condition II facilities, as

Add a new section to read:

This adds a new section under the Protection from Hazards section to refer users to 9.5 and NFPA 82for these specific hazards. Without this reference it can be inferred that a discharge room where trash is collected at thebottom of a chute could be only 1 hr rated, when it is required to be 2-hr rated. This reference is needed to ensureusers are referred to 82 and 9.5 for these types of specific hazards.

Delete text:22.3.4.2.2* Use of the provision of shall be permitted only as an exemption to 9.6.1.8.1(2) and (3).

The proposal seeks to delete the exception for the fire alarm control equipment to be protected byautomatic smoke detection when the building is protected throughout by an approved, supervised automatic sprinklersystem. The requirement for automatic smoke detection above control equipment is a fundamental reliability concept ofthe fire alarm system and not a building or fire code issue. Protection of the fire alarm control equipment is essential toinsure the system generates the occupant emergency evacuation signal prior to the activation of the automatic sprinklersystem because once the automatic sprinkler system activates it will render the fire alarm control equipmentnon-operational due to water and heat damage because of the following reasons:• Fire alarm control equipment is listed for “Indoor Dry” (NEMA 1 Enclosure) not wet, mist or waterproof. Water and

electronics do not mix.• Heat generated by a fire will trigger a sprinkler head at around 150 degrees F. Fire alarm control panels operate at a

maximum of 120 degrees F. This excess heat can affect the operation of the fire alarm system.• At typical sprinkler activation takes a maximum of 90 seconds of discharge before it triggers the control panel, then the

control panel takes an addition maximum of 10 seconds to notify occupants and alert 1st responders. Electronics andwater don’t mix. Water could be flowing on the control panel or other critical Fire Alarm system components for up to110 seconds, almost 2 minutes prior to activating the system.

Revise Note (1) as follows:(1) Doors in openings in partitions required to be fire rated [FR(1⁄2), FR] in accordance with Table 22.4.4.11, in other

than required enclosures of exits or hazardous areas, are required to be substantial doors of construction that resists firefor a minimum of 20 minutes. Vision panels with an existing installation of wired glass or glass with not less than45-minute fire-rated glazing are permitted. Latches and door closers are not required on cell doors.

As currently worded a new installation of wired glass could be installed in the vision panel when theintent is to allow the continued use of an existing installation of wired glass. Calling out one type of product for use isproprietary and wired glass in and of itself is no longer considered an acceptable product for new installation unlesstested and listed as a fire-rated glazing material. The proposed change will allow the continued use of an existinginstallation of wired glass.The change will also provide for correlation with the language found at NFPA 101 Sections 7.2.6.2 , 8.3.3.9, 8.3.3.11(1)

and 13.3.1(5)(c) where the language provides for continued use of "existing" installations of wired glass.
