Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The NFPA 30 Technical Committee on Fundamentals agrees with the concept presented by the submitter of Public Comment No. 8, but has determined that the text presented is too detailed for a definition. Also, the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents prohibits including mandatory requirements in a definition and the submitter’s proposed amendments border on such. Therefore, the Technical Committee has revised the proposed amendment to conform with the Manual of Style. Note that Second Revision No. 2 also addresses Committee Input No. 27.

Public Comment No. 8-NFPA 30-2013 [Section No. 3.3.48]



Second Revision No. 18-NFPA 30-2013 [ Section No. A.6.5.1(8) ]

A.6.5.1(8)With respect to frictional heat or sparks, it is recognized that there is a need to control sources of ignition, including mechanical sparks from hand tools, that have sufficient energy to ignite flammable vapors. Studies, anecdotes, codes, and referenced standards, and other historical documents (e.g., API 2214, Spark Ignition Properties of Hand Tools) show that there is a potential for hand tool sparks to ignite flammable vapors from a limited number of chemicals and under certain unique conditions. These include flammable liquids with low minimum ignition energies, operations in which flammable or combustible liquids are heated, and atypical spark generation that can occur between specific types of hand tools and struck surfaces (i.e., thermite reactions or impact of steel tools on quartzitic materials). Even spark-resistant tools might not provide suitable protection against ignition. For example, hard metal particles can become imbedded in the relatively soft metal of spark-resistant tools, and these particles can cause sparks when the tools are used.

NFPA 30 requires analyses, such as job safety analyses or activity hazard analyses, of the hazards and risks of a given task and the application of appropriateprotective measures to prevent or mitigate the hazards and risks. This includesidentification and mitigation of ignition risk from multiple sources, including hand tools. Due to the complexity of the numerous operations involving flammableliquids, NFPA 30 cannot address all conditions in which spark-resistant tools should be made mandatory, might be advisable, or are unnecessary to help control the ignition risk of any given operation.

It is recognized that the adoption of the new Globally Harmonized System for labeling by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (29 CFR 1910.1200, Appendix C) creates a generalized mandate for the use of spark-resistant tools. However, based on available technical information, this mandate goes beyond what is considered necessary for fire safety, given the fact that it applies to liquids that present little risk of ignition unless heated to or above their flash points. (See A.6.4.1.2 .)

Committee Statement



CommitteeStatement:

The NFPA 30 Technical Committee on Fundamentals has reviewed and discussed this issue on numerous occasions and remains concerned that a mandatory use of spark resistant tools is not technically justified for all liquids in all applications. The revised Annex discussion provides adequate guidance for companies to determine when such use is appropriate. The Committee considered the use of the GHS labeling standards by the submitter as support for the proposed language. The Committee does not agree with the GHS requirement and has addressed this in the (new) third paragraph of the Annex discussion. Further, the Committee points out the following statement from the final rule, printed in the Federal Register, Volume 77, Number 58, March 26, 2012, Pages 17574 – 17896: “In addition, where there are concerns, supported by evidence, about the applicability of a statement to a particular product, the chemical manufacturer or importer may revise the statements as appropriate for the situation. Appendix C.2.4.8 states: ‘If the chemical manufacturer, importer, or responsible party can demonstrate that a precautionary statement is inappropriate to a specific substance or mixture, the precautionary statement may be omitted from the label.’” Further, thedocument identifies “responsible party” as “someone who can provideadditional information on the hazardous chemical and appropriate emergencyprocedures, if necessary.”
