If such services are required, the assistance of an appropri-ate professional should be sought.NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code (“NFPA 30”), and NFPA 30A, Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages (“NFPA 30A”), are, like all NFPA codes, stan

9、able and Combustible Liquids Code Handbook is based on the 2015 editions of NFPA 30 and NFPA 30A. All NFPA codes, standards, recommended practices, and guides (“NFPA Standards”) are devel-oped in accordance with the published procedures of the NFPA by technical committees comprised of volunteers dra

The handbook contains the complete text of NFPA 30 and NFPA 30A and any applicable Formal Interpretations issued by the NFPA at the time of publication. These NFPA Standards are accompanied by explanatory commentary and other supplementary materials.The c

13、uids Code, and NFPA 30A, Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, like all NFPA codes, standards, recommended practices, and guides (“NFPA Standards”), may be amended from time to time through the issuance of Tentative Interim Amendments or corrected by Errata. An official NFPA

14、Standard at any point in time consists of the current edition of the document together with any Tentative Interim Amendment and any Errata then in effect. In order to determine whether an NFPA Standard has been amended through the issuance of Tentative Interim Amendments or corrected by Errata, visi

15、t the Document Information Pages on NFPAs website. The Document Information Pages provide up-to-date, document specific information including any issued Tentative Interim Amendments and Errata. To access the Document Information Page for a specific NFPA Standard go to http:/www.nfpa.org/document for

16、 a list of NFPA Standards, and click on the appropriate Standard number (e.g., NFPA 30). In addition to posting all existing Tentative Interim Amendments and Errata, the Document Information Page also includes the option to sign-up for an “Alert” feature to receive an email noti-fication when new up

19、 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code Handbook to then-Technical Com-mittee Chair Donald M. Johnson. At the time, Don had been a member of the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code Com-mittee for 26 years and had been chair for 10 years.As I stated then, “I have come to appreciate (Dons) integ-ri

20、ty, his commitment to the cause of fire safety, his fairness and insight in viewing all facets of an issue (not just those two that are diametrically opposed), and most importantly his ability to focus the Committees deliberations, not infrequently by divid-ing a problem into several smaller, more e

21、asily resolved pieces, all without losing sight of the central issue.” Don was truly a terrific technical committee chair.Donald M. Johnson passed away July 14, 2014, at 93 years of age. This ninth edition of the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code Handbook is dedicated to his memory.Don graduate

22、d from Washington State University with Bachelor Degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. In between, he served honorably in the U.S. Army in the Euro-pean Theater during World War II and attained the rank of Captain. His career encompassed 37 years with Standard Oil of California / Chevron Co

23、rporation, where he was responsible for their corporate fire protection programs worldwide. Upon retirement, he entered into private consulting practice.Dons service to the National Fire Protection Association began in 1964 with his appoint-ment to the Technical Committees on General Storage of Flam

24、mable Liquids (NFPA 30) and Transportation of Flammable Liquids (NFPA 385). He served on the former until 1990 and the latter until 1985. During that time, he was appointed to the Correlating Committee on Flam-mable Liquids and became its chair in 1981. Don also initiated NFPAs Technical Committee o

25、n Automotive and Marine Service Stations (NFPA 30A) in 1981 and chaired that committee until 1988. He was also much involved with the fire safety activities of the American Petroleum Institute. Don held life memberships in the International Association of Fire Chiefs and the Western Fire Chiefs Asso

26、ciation.Don was a Master Mason of the Burlingame, California, lodge for more than 60 years. He was also an avid supporter of the Northern California Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Founda-tion, in support of his great-granddaughter Hayley, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.I have been quite fort

27、unate to have had many mentors at various stages of my career. Don was one of the best. He was one of the most knowledgeable and most respected fire protection engineers with whom I have ever worked. It was an honor and privilege to have worked with him for so many years.30HB15_CH00_FM.indd 3 1/23/1
