It was issued by the Standards Councilon April 29, 2014, with an effective date of May 19, 2014, and supersedes all previous editions.This edition of NFPA 302 was approved as an American National Standard on May 19,2014.Origin and Developme

31、nt of NFPA 302This Fire Protection Standard for Pleasure and Commercial Motor Craft represents the cumulativeresult of over 75 years of attention to fire safety of boats by the NFPA. The first edition of thisstandard was adopted by the Association in 1937. Successive editions were adopted in 1939, 1

32、948,1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1957, 1960, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1972, 1980, 1984, 1989, 1994,and 1998. Prior to 1937, the information was contained in Appendix D of NFPA 301, FirePreventionRegulations for the Construction and Maintenance of Vessels.The 2004 edition of NFPA 302 contained a firs

33、t-time requirement in the industry forsmoke detectors on pleasure boats. The chapters on fire protection equipment and electricalsystems were updated based on the latest technologies. NFPA 302 was completely revised forthe 2004 edition to comply with the latest edition of the Manual of Style for NFP

34、A TechnicalCommittee Documents.The 2010 edition included provisions for the mitigation of carbon monoxide hazards thatinclude but are not limited to revised ventilation requirements and installation of carbon monox-ide detection devices on certain vessels. New requirements addressing the fire hazard

35、 of portableheaters and dehumidifiers were added. Requirements that address electrical systems were up-dated. The 2010 edition offered guidance information for the installation of fire detection equip-ment in the engine rooms of commercial vessels that are 12 meters or more in length.Following the w

36、ithdrawal of NFPA 255, StandardMethodofTestofSurfaceBurningCharacteristicsofBuilding Materials, the Technical Committee on Motor Craft has incorporated ASTM E84, Stan-dard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, into the 2015 edition ofNFPA 302 as the primary test meth

37、od to be used for assessing the flame spread index. This latestedition of the standard introduces a requirement to limit as far as practicable the number ofelbows and other restrictions in the exhaust systems of gasoline-fueled engines to help minimizethe production of carbon monoxide (CO). The stan

38、dard also identifies the test method to beused for determining the flame resistance properties of fabrics used in the construction of motorcraft in accordance with NFPA 701, Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles andFilms. The provisions to protect boats from lightning in C

39、hapter 10 of NFPA 780, Standard for theInstallation of Lightning Protection Systems, are now referenced by NFPA 302.
