30、n Aerosol Products. It was issued by the Standards Council on April 29,2014, with an effective date of May 19, 2014, and supersedes all previous editions.Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) were issued to Section 5.15 on March 14, 2014;to 3.3.2 on December 8, 2015; and to Section 7.2 on April 6, 201

31、6. For further informa-tion on tentative interim amendments, see Section 5 of the Regulations Governing theDevelopment of NFPA Standards, available at http:/www.nfpa.org/regs.This edition of NFPA 30B was approved as an American National Standard on May 19, 2014.Origin and Development of NFPA 30BPrio

32、r to the development of NFPA 30B, Code for the Manufacture and Storage of Aerosol Prod-ucts, fire protection requirements for the storage of flammable aerosols were contained inNFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, where they were treated as Class IA flam-mable liquids. During the late 19

33、70s and early to mid-1980s, because of both actual fireincidents and full-scale fire testing, it became apparent that flammable aerosol productspresented a severe fire challenge, one not fully contemplated by NFPA 30. Industry initiativesled to more full-scale fire testing and, eventually, to the es

34、tablishment of an NFPA TechnicalCommittee Project specifically directed at providing fire protection guidance for both manu-facturing facilities and storage facilities.The Technical Committee on Aerosol Products began its work in January 1988. The com-mittee formed two task groups, one on manufactur

35、ing, the other on storage, to draft thetechnical language of this document. The results of the efforts of the two task groups culmi-nated with adoption of the first edition of NFPA 30B at the 1990 NFPA Annual Meeting.The Technical Committee on Aerosol Products continued to work on improvements toNFP

36、A 30B. The second edition was published in 1994 with several major revisions to clarify thedocuments requirements and to more accurately reflect the fire behavior of aerosol prod-ucts, particularly with regard to classification of aerosol products. The Technical Committeeon Aerosol Products then con

37、tinued its work, resulting in the 1998 edition the thirdedition of NFPA 30B.NFPA 30B implemented extensive revisions in the 2002 edition. A major testing effortresulted in complete revision of the wet-pipe sprinkler system design tables and their associ-ated reference figures. The Technical Committe

38、e added 12 new tables to Chapter 6 (deletingthe 5 tables from the 1998 edition) and 5 new figures demonstrating sprinkler configurationin accordance with these tables. The tables addressed palletized and solid pile storage andrack storage of Level 2 and Level 3 aerosol products, both cartoned and un

39、cartoned. Newsections on damage-limiting construction, fume incinerators, shrink-wrapping of aerosolproducts, and special protection design were added. NFPA 30B was also reformatted to con-form to the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents, including reorganizationand renumbering of

40、chapters, elimination of exceptions, deletion of non-enforceable lan-guage, and clarification of mandatory requirements.The 2007 edition of NFPA 30B clarified the requirements for aisle widths in storage facilities.30B1NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the Na

41、tional Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169.In the 2011 edition of NFPA 30B, the Technical Committee revised the definition of aerosol container to reflect newrequirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation that allow the use of plastic aerosol containers up to amaximum siz

42、e of 1000 ml (33.8 fl oz). The revised definition of aerosol container prompted changes in severallocations of the code to accommodate aerosol products in plastic containers. In support of the revised definition ofaerosol container, the Committee also added new material in Annex B that provided seve

43、ral sets of fire test data on theresults of testing aerosols in plastic containers.The 2015 edition of NFPA 30B incorporates the following major amendments:(1) Appropriate amendments and additions have been made to incorporate coverage of aerosol cooking spray products,including classification of su

44、ch products and protection guidance for such products in Chapters 6 and 7.(2) Appropriate amendments and additions have been made to incorporate coverage of “plastic aerosol 1” and“plastic aerosol X” products, including classification of such products and protection guidance for such productsin Chap

45、ters 6 and 7.(3) Appropriate amendments have been made to Section 1.9, Marking of Packages of Aerosol Products, to accom-modate aerosol cooking spray products and plastic aerosol products.(4) In Chapter 3, Definitions, several terms have been redefined; a number of new definitions, related to manufa

46、c-turing of aerosol products, have been added; and definitions of sprinkler types have been deleted to eliminateany potential conflict with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems.(5) The provisions for hazardous (classified) location area classification have been amended by comb

47、ining theprevious separate requirements for button tippers and test baths into a single set of requirements and by addingadditional requirements applicable to button tippers.(6) The provisions of subsection 5.8.2 for storing finished product in production areas have been amended forclarity. In addit

48、ion, new requirements have been added for storing finished aerosol products in plastic containersin production areas.(7) Subsection 5.13.2 has been improved by extending applicability to under-the-cup (UTC) propellant fillers and byeliminating redundant text.(8) Subsection 5.13.3, Propellant Chargin

49、g Equipment, has been extensively revised to consolidate changes made inprior editions into a single section, making these provisions more coherent.(9) Subsection 5.13.4 has been expanded to apply to propellant heaters, as well as propellant pumps.(10) Section 5.15, Aerosol Product Laboratories, has been amended to designate aerosol product laboratories thathandle flammable gases or flammable liquids as Class A laboratory units, in accordance with NFPA 45, Standard onFire Protection for Laboratories Using Chemicals.(11) Tentative Interim Amendment 11-1 has been incorporated i
