NFPA 408 Standard for Aircraft Hand Portable Fire Extinguishers 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 408, Standard for Aircraft Hand Portable Fire Extinguishers, was prepared by t

12、he Technical Committee on Portable Fire Extinguishers. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 19, 2016, with an effective date of August 8, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 408 was approved as an American National Standard on August 8, 2016. Origin and Develop

13、ment of NFPA 408 Work on NFPA 408 started in 1947 after requests were received by the National Fire Protection Association for recommendations on aircraft hand re extinguishers. During the intervening years, prior to the adoption of the rst draft of this text in 1955 by the Association, a number of

14、proposals were prepared and circulated for comment and critique. In 1956, a revision was adopted incorporating an appendix on air crew training. Revisions were made in 1964, 1965, 1970, and 1973. The 1984 document was completely revised to recognize state-of-the-art developments in extinguishing age

15、nts and to bring the document into conformance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. The 1989 edition was a reconrmation of the 1984 edition. The 1994 edition was a partial revision. The 1999 edition was a reconrmation of the 1994 edition. Minimum requirements were added t

16、o the 2004 edition for halocarbon agent re extinguishers because they had become acceptable for installation onboard aircraft, in lieu of halon extinguishers, per the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In the 2010 edition, the technical committee enhanced crew and user safety by including r

17、equirements regarding the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective breathing equipment (PBE). The technical committee also addressed alternative extinguishing agents that could be used in training and onboard aircraft and still meet the set requirements. The requirements aroun

18、d the use and inclusion of halocarbons were reviewed extensively by the committee, and many changes were made to those requirements. The document also was updated for compliance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. In 2013, the Technical Committee on Aircraft Rescue and F

19、ire Fighting voted to withdraw NFPA 408 as a standard. The committee argued that lack of adoption, as well as the limited amount of unique material pertaining to aircraft, had diminished the need for a standalone document. In response to public concern over the potential effects of withdrawal, NFPA

20、408 was not withdrawn, but responsibility for the document was transferred to the Technical Committee on Portable Fire Extinguishers. The 2017 edition incorporates updated references and denitions. It also adds new support for water solution type hand re extinguishers in accordance with the FAAs TSO
