30、 Pyrotechnic Articles 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 1124, Code for the Manufacture, Transportation, and Storage of Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics. It was issued by the Standards Council on May 13, 2016, with an effective date of June 2

31、, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1124 was approved as an American National Standard on June 2, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 1124 NFPA 44A was originally developed by the Technical Committee on Explosives of the NFPA Correlating Committee on Chemicals and Exp

32、losives. It was adopted as a Tentative Code at the 1972 NFPA Annual Meeting. It was further revised and ofcially adopted at the 1973 NFPA Annual Meeting. A revised edition was adopted in 1974. In 1980, the Technical Committee on Explosives and the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics voted to transfe

33、r responsibility for NFPA 44A to the Committee on Pyrotechnics. The Correlating Committee on Chemicals and Explosives concurred and petitioned the NFPA Standards Council to effect the change. The Standards Council approved the change in June 1981. The 1984 edition of NFPA 1124 was the result of a co

34、mplete review of the 1974 edition of NFPA 44A by the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics, including the redesignation of the document as NFPA 1124 for consistency with the designations for other documents relating to pyrotechnics. The 1988 edition of NFPA 1124 was the result of a thorough review of

35、and partial revision to the 1984 edition of NFPA 1124 by the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics, including reference updating and incorporation of the latest separation distances as approved by the Institute of Makers of Explosives in May 1983. It included new provisions for salute manufacturing an

36、d storage of salute powder. The 1995 edition of NFPA 1124 included partial amendments to the document and editorial revisions, improving its ability to be used, adopted, and enforced and making it compliant with the NFPA Manual of Style. The committee incorporated the latest separation distances as

37、approved by the Institute of Makers of Explosives in June 1991. The committee also updated the denitions of reworks to be consistent with the new terminology used in the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations that incorporated the United Nations shipping designations for reworks (explosives).

38、 For the 1998 edition, the requirements for reworks laboratories were claried by the addition of a denition and clarication of the storage and separation distances appropriate for them. The committee added an appendix that extracted language from the American Pyrotechnics Association Standard 87-1 t

39、o provide users with the approved denitions used in the Federal Regulations for reworks, novelties, and theatrical pyrotechnics. In 1999, the NFPA Board of Directors revised its policy in order to permit the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics to develop provisions for the retail sales and storage o

40、f consumer reworks, subject to Standards Council oversight. At the same time, the Board reafrmed its support of the Model Fireworks Law, which, since 1938, prohibited use of consumer reworks. Although NFPAs Public Education position has continued to advocate against any use of consumer reworks, it i

41、s believed that in the interest of public safety, NFPA standards for the retail sales and storage of consumer reworks should be available in those jurisdictions where such sales are permitted.MANUFACTURE, TRANSPORTATION, AND STORAGE OF FIREWORKS AND PYROTECHNIC ARTICLES 1124-2 2017 Edition As a resu

42、lt of the Board of Directors decision, the 2003 edition incorporated new provisions dealing with the distribution and retail sales of consumer reworks. The code then addressed the re and life safety requirements for construction, siting and separation distances, and storage and display layout for bo

43、th permanent and temporary consumer reworks retail sales facilities. It contained a completely revised Chapter 6 on distribution facilities and a new Chapter 7 on consumer reworks retail sales facilities. The code was also revised to reect the NFPA Manual of Style for technical committee documents.

44、The 2006 edition featured a reorganization of Chapter 7, which brought the requirements for consumer reworks retail sales (CFRS) facilities, stores, and tents and stands into separate, comprehensive sections. The code also added a requirement that all consumer reworks undergo third-party testing and

45、 certication. In addition, the committee revised denitions to make them consistent with NFPA 1123, Code for Fireworks Display. The 2013 edition included updated denitions that correlated with updates to extracted text and complied with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. As a

46、 result of a 2008 research project conducted by the Fire Protection Research Foundation, the committee incorporated several changes to both consumer reworks storage and retail sales facility requirements (Chapters 6 and 7, respectively). The research results provided a more technically sound basis f

47、or requirements on threshold quantities of pyrotechnic composition within venues covered by the code and threshold facility sizes establishing requirements for automatic sprinkler protection. Coordinating with several other committees, the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics established egress capac

48、ity requirements for both storage and retail sales facilities. The code also contained improved requirements for protective features ame breaks and covered fuses by referencing newly developed re test standards. The 2017 edition has removed all provisions dealing with the distribution and retail sal

49、es of consumer reworks as a result of Standards Council Decision #14-1. These requirements were primarily located in Chapters 6 and 7; therefore, those chapters have been deleted in their entirety. Consumer reworks storage requirements in manufacturing facilities have been relocated to Chapter 5.COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 1124-3 2017 Edition Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics Glenn A.
