NFPA 414 Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Vehicles 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 414, Standard for Aircraft

30、 Rescue and Fire-Fighting Vehicles, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting. It was issued by the Standards Council on May 13, 2016, with an effective date of June 2, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 414 was approved as an American

31、 National Standard on June 2, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 414 In 1960, a tentative edition of this standard was adopted by the Association. The original document was further revised in 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1975, and 1978. In 1984, the standard was revised complete

32、ly to identify three types of vehicles and to make the document easier to use. The text also was rewritten to conform with the NFPA Manual of Style. The standard was revised again in 1990, and a chapter was added to provide a test method to verify the design requirements. Notable revisions to the 19

33、95 edition included the removal of requirements for a separate category of rapid intervention vehicle. The major change for the 2001 edition was the combination of major re-ghting vehicles and combined agent vehicles. Additionally, a table concisely provided many requirements that previously were co

34、vered by numerous paragraphs. The 2007 revision included minor changes to the document plus the addition of a new chapter on interior access vehicles. For the 2012 edition of NFPA 414, the committee went through the entire document and made a multitude of changes to the requirements. Those changes i

35、ncluded the addition of an equivalency statement, to provide the AHJ or purchaser some exibility when it comes to meeting the requirements. There was also a new emphasis placed on Chapter 5, which deals with aircraft interior access vehicles. This was due largely to the increase in need for these ve

36、hicles based on the increased size of aircraft as well as some limitations to traditional aircraft rescue and re-ghting (ARFF) vehicles, whose primary function is re ghting. These vehicles assist in the evacuation of passengers from aircraft in addition to the use of evacuation slides or if the slid

37、es are not appropriate for use and deployment. Another important item addressed in the 2012 edition was that many ARFF vehicles are operated by a single person and that many of the devices and warnings/alarms are now designed with a single user/operator in mind. Generally speaking, many of the chang

38、es or enhancements that were introduced into the 2012edition revolved around the development and use of larger aircraft, such as the A-380 and the Boeing Dreamliner, as well as the composite materials from which they are manufactured. The capacities for ARFF vehicles have to be increased to address

39、this change in aircraft as well as to ensure that the vehicles are still able to meet prescribed response time standards. The committee has also addressed the environmental impact some extinguishing agents pose and have either limited them or removed them from the document and replaced them with acc

40、eptable alternatives. The committee also reviewed the entire document to ensure that it is consistent with the source documents, with commonly accepted practices as they relate to the ARFF industry, and with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. The 2017 edition revisions inclu

41、de updates to referenced publications and denitions and a rewrite of Chapter 5, Aircraft Interior Access Vehicles. This rewrite includes the addition of language to address cab visibility, cab construction, equipment, AIAV body, docking platform, acceptance criteria, and testing. Revisions also incl

42、ude extracted language from NFPA 1901 on SCBA mounting and a full extract of NFPA 1901 language for Chapter 6, Electrical System Performance Tests.AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIRE-FIGHTING VEHICLES 414-2 2017 Edition Technical Committee on Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Duane F.
