NFPA 1194 Standard for Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 1194, Standard for Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds, was prepar

12、ed by the Technical Committee on Recreational Vehicles. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 22, 2016, with an effective date of September 11, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1194 was approved as an American National Standard on September 11, 2016. Origin

13、 and Development of NFPA 1194 The earliest activity of NFPA in the development of standards for recreational vehicle parks was in 1937, and the rst NFPA standard on the topic, ofcially adopted in 1940, was entitled Standard for Trailer Coaches and Trailer Coach Camps. A revision of the 1940 standard

14、 was adopted by NFPA in 1952 (postWorld War II), entitled NFPA 501, Standards for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Trailer Coaches and Trailer Coach Courts. In 1960, NFPA acted to approve a revised version that divided the earlier text into two partsone designated NFPA 501A, adopted that year

15、as Standard for Fire Protection in Trailer Courts, and the other designated NFPA 501B, adopted in 1971 as Standard for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Mobile Homes and Travel Trailers. NFPA 501B was further amended in 1963, and in 1964, a revision of NFPA 501A was approved. During the years 1

16、9621964, the standards activities of the Mobile Homes Manufacturers Association and the Trailer Coach Association were consolidated. They produced standards under the American Standards Association (now known as ANSI) entitled American Standard Installations of Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Syste

17、ms in Travel Trailers (A119.2-1963) and a similar Standard on Mobile Homes (A119.1-1963). These interorganizational arrangements were completed in 1964, and in 1969, the newly formed Recreational Vehicle Institute was added as a fourth cosponsor. The rst standard covering any aspect of recreational

18、vehicle parks completed by the current ANSI-sponsored committee was the Electrical Standard for Recreational Vehicle Parks (NFPA 501D-1971/ ANSI A177.2-1972, subsequently redesignated as ANSI A119.4-1972). This edition of NFPA 1194 was prepared and published to update the previous material covering

19、electrical safety in the 1964 edition of NFPA 501A, Standard for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Trailer Courts. In the 1971 edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, electrical requirements for trailer courts rst appeared, based largely on NFPA 501D-1971. Since it obviously was necessary

20、 to maintain coordination between NFPA 501D and NFPA 70, the sponsoring committees established liaison procedures so that the intent of Chapter 6 of the 1977 edition of NFPA 501D was identical to that of Part B of Article 551 of NFPA 70. Companion NFPA documents to NFPA 501D, besides NFPA 70, were N

21、FPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles, and NFPA 501A, Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites, and Communities. Sponsorship for the 1977 edition of NFPA 501D was held jointly by the NFPA and the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). The standard

22、 was developed by the Sectional Committee on Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds, which operated under the Correlating Committee on Mobile Homes and Recreational Vehicles. The 1977 edition included substantive revisions to the previous edition in Chapter 6, Electrical Systems. The 1982 editio

23、n, renamed Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds, was produced by the Committee on Fire Safety for Recreational Vehicles, formed on June 20, 1979. The committee was responsible for developing a standard for re safety for recreational vehicles and recreation

24、al vehicle parks, and, therefore, the 1982 edition excluded all sections of the previous editions not considered within the committee scope. Sections dealing with environmental health and sanitation were notably excluded, as were requirements for park electricalRECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKS AND CAMPGRO

25、UNDS 1194-2 2018 Edition systems, which are addressed by reference to NFPA 70. Modications also were made in sections dealing with denitions and re safety and to conform to the NFPA Manual of Style. The 1986 edition included very minor reference changes and revised denitions. The 1990 edition contai

26、ned a completely revised chapter on re safety requirements, Chapter 3, so that nonre safety items could be moved to other chapters handled by the ANSI A119 Committee. The standard was reconrmed in 1993, and some sections that were considered operational concerns were deleted from Chapter 3 in the 19

27、96 edition. The 1999 edition of NFPA 501D was renumbered as NFPA 1194, and the duplicate requirement for a refuse disposal system was deleted from Chapter 3. Only minor technical changes were made in the 2002 edition. However, the document was completely reorganized and editorially revised to comply

28、 with the requirements of the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. Prior to the 2005 edition, the requirements for environmental health and sanitation were developed by the ANSI A119 Accredited Standards Committee, of which the RVIA was Secretariat. The requirements for re safety

29、were added, published, and distributed under one cover as ANSI A119.4/NFPA 1194 by ANSI, NFPA, and RVIA. Through an agreement with the RVIA, responsibility for development of the standard was transferred to NFPA; therefore, the requirements for the design and construction features for recreational v

30、ehicle parks and campgrounds that are appropriate to provide adequate environmental health and sanitation, safety of electrical distribution systems, safety of LP-Gas storage and dispensing, and re protection were combined into one standard, NFPA 1194. The 2005 edition of NFPA 1194 was also subjecte

31、d to editorial revisions in accordance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. Technical changes to the standard included revisions of requirements to address the larger scale of recreational vehicles and to provide specic requirements for wildland/urban interface areas. The

32、 2008 edition provided new requirements for dead-end roads in excess of 100 feet in length. Associated annex material was added to depict a range of dead-end situations. New requirements also were added to address propane containers. The 2011 edition included an updated and expanded denition of recr

33、eational vehiclesas well as supporting material in the annex that described the various types of recreational vehicles. These sections were modied to be consistent with and match the wording in NFPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles. The 2014 edition included a new requirement for a waste treatment system. For the 2018 edition, the term recreational park trailer has been replaced with park model RV, and a new annex, Annex D, provides guidance on park operations.
