12、 Test Method for Developing Toxic Potency Data for Use in Fire Hazard Modeling, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Tests. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 11, 2016, with an effective date of December 1, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 2

13、69 was approved as an American National Standard on December 1, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 269 The rst edition of NFPA 269 was published in 1996. It was desirable to establish a standard test method for the development of data for use in toxic hazard modeling. The basis of this standard wa

The 2007 edition was a complete revision for compliance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. The 2012 edition was revise

15、d to contain new scope statements for testing lethal toxic potency values and new requirements for testing reports. The 2017 edition includes revisions to the reporting section, clarifying the use of animal check tests, as revised in a TIA. Revisions also have been made to the power supply for the s
