3. Approval of Prior Meeting Minutes. The October 19, 2010 meeting minutes were

approved as written and distributed.

4. Review Re-Engineered NFPA Codes and Standards Development Process. Staff

reviewed the new codes and standards process, which is in effect for the 2015 editions of

NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000. See pg. 10 of the meeting agenda for the PowerPoint slides.

Full details on the new process are available online at www.nfpa.org. Committee

members are required to review and become familiar with the new regulations. Any

questions should be directed to NFPA staff.

5. Correlating Committee: Accessibility Scoping. Item deferred to discussion on related

public inputs. See the NFPA 5000 First Draft Report.

6. Correlating Committee: Dormitory Requirements. Item deferred to discussion on

related public inputs. See the NFPA 101 First Draft Report.

7. CO Detection Task Group Report. S. Orlowski reviewed the options presented in the

task group report addressing fireplaces (see pg. 4). Following discussion, the committee

created several first revisions based on the task group recommendations – see the NFPA

of 35

http://www.nfpa.org/


101 and NFPA 5000 First Draft Reports. The task group members included: J. Versteeg,

Chair; D. Finnegan; R. Nickson; and S. Orlowski.

8. NFPA 101 New Construction/NFPA 5000 Requirements Correlation. The committee

reviewed staff-prepared draft first revisions based on a comparison of NFPA 101 and

NFPA 5000 requirements to eliminate discrepancies between the codes, as directed by

the Building Code and Life Safety Code Correlating Committees. Numerous first

revisions were created – see the NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000 First Draft Reports.

9. Review of NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000 Core Chapter First Revisions. Staff led a

discussion on core chapter first revisions affecting occupancy chapter provisions.

Following discussions on each of the items, numerous first revisions were created. See

the NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000 First Draft Reports.

10. NFPA 101 Public Input. The committee reviewed and discussed the public inputs

submitted on NFPA 101 and created numerous first revisions. See the NFPA 101 First

Draft Report.

11. NFPA 5000 Public Input. The committee reviewed and discussed the public inputs

submitted on NFPA 5000 and created numerous first revisions. See the NFPA 5000 First

Draft Report.

12. Other Business. R. Solomon led a discussion on several recent apartment building fires

in which the buildings were protected by NFPA 13R automatic sprinkler systems,

resulting in no loss of life, but significant property damage (total losses in some cases). In

some cases, it was documented that fire propagation in unprotected attics contributed to

the property loss. Although these events can be characterized as sprinkler “successes”

because of the lack of life loss, public perception is a serious concern. After much

discussion, it was agreed that the issue is a valid concern and should be addressed by the

codes. A motion passed to create committee inputs (CIs) on NFPA 101 (8.6.11.6) and

NFPA 5000 (8.14.1.5) addressing attics in buildings with residential sprinkler systems –

see the NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000 First Draft Reports. The item will flagged for review

by the Correlating Committees for further review by the TC on Fire Protection Features

during the second draft (comment) stage.

13. Future Meetings. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for June 24, 2013 (location

to be determined). Meeting notices will be distributed when the details are finalized.

14. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 11:00 AM (CDT), August 14, 2012.

Task Group on Fireplaces & Carbon Monoxide Detection

August 10, 2012 To: Warren Bonisch, Chair

Residential Occupancies Technical Committee Gregory Harrington, P.E. Principal Fire Protection Engineer NFPA

From: Joe Versteeg, Task Group Chair JHV

Subject: Report of Findings - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Shortly after issuance of the 2012 editions of NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000, the Technical Committee on Residential Occupancies was asked to evaluate a Request for Formal Interpretation that asked the TC to determine if a fireplace constitutes a fuel-burning appliance. Although a majority of the TC members voted in the affirmative, the ballot did not receive the required ¾ majority agreement. The Task Group’s objective is evaluate whether or not fireplaces constitute a hazard with respect to carbon monoxide in residential occupancies; and develop proposed text for review by the Residential Technical Committee, if appropriate. Task Group Members:

Daniel P. Finnegan, Automatic Fire Alarm Association (AFAA) Ronald Nickson, National Multi Housing Council (NMHC) Steven Orlowski, National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Richard Roberts, National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Joseph Versteeg, Versteeg Associates

Documents Reviewed:

1. Non-Fire Carbon Monoxide Deaths Associated with the Use of Consumer Products – 2006 Annual Estimates prepared by the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, September 2009.

- Table 2 on page 10 lists the deaths attributed to fireplaces.

2. Development of a Technical Basis for Carbon Monoxide Detector Siting prepared for the Fire Protection Research Foundation by Hughes Associates, Inc., October 8, 2007.

of 35

NFPA Residential Task Group on Fireplaces Page 2 & Carbon Monoxide Detection August 10, 2012

- Page 3 reports that fireplaces contributed to CO poisonings in Colorado. - Page 7 reports that fireplaces are an efficient producer of CO and therefore pose a

potential threat of CO poisoning.

3. Definitions of fuel-burning appliance and fireplace from NFPA 720 and NFPA 211. (Refer Pages 7 & 8 of this report.

Findings:

Based on a review of the data and the three (3) possible options, two task group members (Nickerson & Orlowski) opted for Option 1 and two members (Richards & Finnegan) opted for Option 3. Options: 1. No Action. With consideration of the available data re carbon monoxide occurrences

with fireplaces, no changes to the 2012 NFPA 101 & 5000 wording are necessary. 2. Generate an Annex note to each section within the residential occupancies of NFPA 101

& 5000 that basically states that although fireplaces have not been included as a trigger for the installation of carbon monoxide detectors/alarms within the body of the Code, consideration should be given to the installation of such detectors/alarms when other than masonry or factory-built fireplaces are in use, i.e. free-standing stoves or fireplace inserts that burn wood, wood pellets, coal, natural gas or propane as a fuel source. Refer Attachment A for proposed revisions to implement Option 2 on Page 3 of this report.

3. Amend each section within the residential occupancies of NFPA 101 & 5000 addressing

carbon monoxide detector/alarms to include fuel-burning fireplaces as a trigger for the installation of such detectors/alarms; and

Generate an Annex note to each section within the residential occupancies of NFPA 101 & 5000 that basically states that masonry, factory-built, or decorative electrical fireplaces do not warrant the devices.

Refer Attachment B for proposed revisions to implement Option 3 on Pages 4 through 6 of this report.

Please add the subject of Definitions to each SAF/BLD technical committee Second Draft meeting agenda for which you serve as staff liaison. Each Technical Committee chair is asked to identify a member to serve on the definitions task group. The Minutes item from the SAF-AAC Correlating Committee’s November 6, 2012 meeting follows:

Definitions. The committee agreed to have each defined term assigned to a specific technical committee so that committee would have responsibility for the maintenance and revision of such term. A task group is to be formed after the Second Draft meetings of the current revision cycle. The task group will report to the Correlating Committee (CC) its recommendations for the definitions assignments in time for the CC to review the recommendations at its first meeting of the 2018 revision cycle. Each Technical Committee chair is asked to identify a member to serve on the task group.

Follow Up Flag: Follow upFlag Status: Flagged

Please add the subject of Hazardous Areas to each SAF/BLD technical committee Second Draft meeting agenda for which you serve as staff liaison. Each Technical Committee is asked to decide whether it wants to participate in a task group on the subject of hazardous materials. The Minutes item from the SAF-AAC Correlating Committee’s November 6, 2012 meeting follows:

Hazardous Materials. Jeff Tubbs raised the issue of whether NFPA 101 should address hazardous materials (as done in NFPA 5000 Chapter 34). The committee noted that health hazards are not within the scope of NFPA 101. Conflicts exist among the NFPA codes. It was agreed to:

o Add the subject of hazardous materials to the agenda for all NFPA 101 technical committee Second Draft meetings

o Gather comments from each technical committee including whether it wants to participate in a task group on the subject of hazardous materials

o Report results to the Correlating Committee at its Second Draft review meeting o Ask the Standards Council, after the Correlating Committee’s Second Draft meeting, to

establish a task group from the membership of the NFPA 1, 30, 101, 400 and 5000 committees to address conflicts and overlapping requirements related to hazardous materials

Allan and Tracy, the BLD-AAC Correlating Committee asked that same be done by the NFPA 5000 TCs. Ron Coté, P.E. Principal Life Safety Engineer NFPA - Quincy, MA USA
