30、 edition of NFPA 312, Standard for Fire Protection of Vessels During Construction, Conversion, Repair, and Lay-Up, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Shipbuilding, Repair, and Lay- Up. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 14, 2014, with an effective date of July 29, 2014, and super

31、sedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 312 was approved as an American National Standard on July 29, 2014. OriginandDevelopmentofNFPA312 The first standard on this subject was adopted by NFPA in 1933 on the recommendation of its Marine Committee, predecessor of the Marine Section. The sta

32、ndard was further consid- ered in 1935, 1936, and 1937, and it was finally adopted by the Association in 1938 on the recommendation of the Marine Section Committee on Builders Risk, Repair, and Lay-Up. Editorial changes were made in 1942. With the reorganization of NFPA marine activities in 1948, re

33、sponsibility for the standard fell to the Committee on Shipbuilding, Repair, and Lay-Up. Its recommendations were adopted by the Association in 1950 (Parts I and II) and 1951 (Part III), and revised editions were adopted in 1964, 1968, 1976, and 1984. The 1990 edition of NFPA 312 was a complete revi

34、sion that incorporated expanded re- quirements for vessel lay-up and an update of the fire protection requirements for vessels undergoing construction, conversion, and repair. The 1995 edition consisted of amendments and editorial changes to the 1990 edition. The 2000 edition consisted of amendments

35、 and editorial changes to the 1995 edition. For the 2006 edition, the entire standard was revised in accordance with theManualofStylefor NFPATechnicalCommitteeDocuments. Changes made to OSHA 1915 Subpart P, requirements for fire watch (29 CFR 1915.504), and fixed extinguishing systems (29 CFR 1915.5

36、06) were incorporated into the appropriate sections of the standard. In the 2011 edition, the Committee revised requirements for inspection, maintenance, and testing of fixed extinguishing systems and added recommendations for written fire watch policies. References to various NFPA publications and

37、other publications in the standard were updated. The 2016 edition includes editorial changes and amendments to the 2011 edition. 3121 NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169.TechnicalCommitteeonS
