NFPA 1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Structural and P

33、roximity Fire Fighting Protective Clothing and Equipment and released by the Correlating Committee on Fire and Emergency Services Protective Clothing and Equipment. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 1, 2017, with an effective date of August 21, 2017, and supersedes all previous editio

34、ns. This document has been amended by one or more Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) and/or Errata. See “Codes PROTECTIVE ENSEMBLES FOR STRUCTURAL FIRE FIGHTING AND PROXIMITY FIRE FIGHTING 1971-2 2018 Edition NFPA 1972, Standard on Helmets for Structural Fire Fighting; NFPA 1973, Standard on Gloves

35、 for Structural Fire Fighting; and NFPA 1974, Standard on Protective Footwear for Structural Fire Fighting, into a single document entitled NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensemble for Structural Fire Fighting. The 2000 edition was the sixth edition and represented a complete revision to the fth (

36、1997) edition. Among other changes, the edition introduced new requirements for evaporative heat transfer through garments through a total heat loss test, for evaluating thermal insulation in areas of garments that are most likely to become compressed through a conductive and compressive heat resist

37、ance test, for evaluating hand dexterity with gloves through a new hand function test, and for evaluating the durability of barrier materials through additional preconditioning prior to selected physical tests of the barrier materials. The sixth edition was presented to the Association membership at

38、 the 1999 Fall Meeting in New Orleans, LA, on November 17, 1999, and issued by the Standards Council with an effective date of February 11, 2000. The 2007 edition of NFPA 1971, the seventh edition, represented a complete revision. The requirements of two former standards, the 2000 (sixth) edition of

39、 NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensemble for Structural Fire Fighting, and the 2000 (second) edition of NFPA 1976, Standard on Protective Ensemble for Proximity Fire Fighting, were combined into a single document entitled NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting an

40、d Proximity Fire Fighting. Other than combining the two documents, the major changes represented in the 2007 edition were the optional requirements for protection from CBRN terrorism agents (specied chemicals, biological agents, and radiological particulate) that could be released as a result of a t

41、errorism attack. These optional requirements could be selected by re departments that were concerned about rst response of their personnel to such WMD incidents where “normal” re ghting protective ensembles offer little or no protection from CBRN terrorism agents, and where supplementary protective

42、ensembles that are certied as compliant with NFPA 1994, Standard on Protective Ensembles for First Responders to CBRN Terrorism Incidents, for protection from CBRN terrorism agents are unlikely to be provided to the vast majority of re ghting rst responders. The CBRN optional protection can be appli

43、ed only to an entire ensemble, including the specied CBRN SCBA for that ensemble, and cannot be applied to individual ensemble elements. The design and performance of the entire ensemble including the CBRN SCBA provides the CBRN protection for the wearer and depends on the proper use of the entire e

44、nsemble to accomplish this protection. No combination of individual ensemble elements short of the entire assembled ensemble will give CBRN protection. These optional CBRN requirements that apply to both structural re ghting protective ensembles and proximity re ghting protective ensembles were buil

45、t into the construction of the “basic” re ghting protective ensemble elements so that nothing had to be added to or subtracted from the basic re ghting protective clothing in order to achieve the protection from CBRN terrorism agents. The optional CBRN requirements did not decrease any of the protec

46、tion for the re ghting environments in which these ensembles are used. The 2007 edition was presented to the Association membership at the 2006 Association Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, on June 7, 2006, and issued by the Standards Council with an effective date of August 17, 2006. The 2013 edi

47、tion of NFPA 1971 represented a complete revision of the document, incorporating many technical and editorial changes. In addition to several new denitions and revised labeling requirements, changes were made to the performance requirements in Chapter 7, including those for garment zippers, fastener

48、 tape, and helmets. Performance requirements for the radiant reective protective areas of proximity re ghting protective glove elements also were added. A number of tests in Chapter 8 were revised, including glove test areas, the ame resistance test procedure, the glove hand function test procedure,

49、 and the slip resistance test. The chemical permeation test and the man-in-simulant test (MIST) also were completely revised. New tests were added to Chapter 8, including a torque test, transmitted and stored thermal energy test, fastener tape strength test, and a glove tool test. For the 2018 edition of the standard, CBRN was removed from NFPA 1971 and put into NFPA 1994, including denitions, design and performance requirements, and test methods related to CBRN. There is a new denition for protective barrier hood, the optional interface el
