25、12/11Copyright 2012 National Fire Protection Association . All Rights Reserved. NFPA 75 Standardforthe FireProtectionofInformationTechnologyEquipment 2013Edition This edition of NFPA 75, Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment, was prepared by the Technical Committee on

26、Electronic Computer Systems. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 9, 2012, with an effective date of July 29, 2012, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 75 was approved as an American National Standard on July 29, 2012. OriginandDevelopmentofNFPA75 The Committee on El

27、ectronic Computer Systems was formed by the action of the NFPA Board of Directors in January 1960, following a request for standardization of fire protection recommendations by the computer industry. The committee first submitted theStandardfortheProtectionofElectronicComputerSystems to the 1961 NFP

28、AAnnual Meeting, and it was tentatively adopted. At the 1962 Annual Meeting, it was officially adopted as an NFPA standard. Revisions were adopted in 1963, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1981, 1987, and 1989. The document was completely rewritten for the 1992 edition. The document was revised in 1995, 1999

29、, and again in 2003. The 2003 edition incorporated the Manual of Style forNFPATechnical Committee Documents revisions. In editions of this standard prior to 2003, the terms “electronic computer/data processing equipment” and “electronic computer system” were used where the current terms “informa- ti

30、on technology equipment” and “information technology equipment system,” respectively, are used. Similarly, the terms “computer room” and “computer area” were replaced by “infor- mation technology equipment room” and “information technology equipment area,” respec- tively. While the title and some te

31、rminology were changed in the 2003 edition to more closely align this standards terminology with terminology being used in other standards, such as NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, and UL 60950, Safety of Information Technology Equipment, the scope of this standard and any definitions associated w

32、ith those like terms remained the same. For the 2009 edition, Section 4.2, Telecommunications Risks, was updated; many of the UL references were updated; new requirements were added for signage to indicate that equipment will remain energized where continuous power is provided; and flame spread inde

33、xes were provided for many of the materials listed in the standard. For the 2013 edition, the title has again been changed to better reflect the scope of the document and to be clear that the standard is strictly for fire protection. The 2013 edition features a new section on the emerging use of ais

34、le containment systems for information technology equipment and how these systems must be assessed for their interaction with fire protection features. A number of definitions have been extracted from NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, to define words used in the body of the standard that previously

35、 were not defined. 751 NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169.TechnicalCommitteeonElectronicComputerSystems RalphE.Transue, Chair The RJA Group, Inc., IL SE JosephA.Spataro, Secretary Liberty Mu
