NFPA 1142 Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA
30、1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Wildland and Rural Fire Protection. 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
31、NFPA 1142 was approved as an American National Standard on June 2, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 1142 This document originally was issued in 1968 as a tentative document titled NFPA 25, Recommended Practices for Water Supply Systems for Rural Fire Protection. It was reissued in 1969 without t
32、he tentative status. In 1975, the document was changed to a standard and renumbered and retitled as NFPA 1231, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting. The standard continued to be maintained and enhanced with 1984, 1989, and 1993 editions. The 1999 edition was renumbered as
33、NFPA 1142, in keeping with the committees plan to group all its documents within a number range. The 2001 edition incorporated much of the information about the design of dry hydrants, formerly found in the annexes, into the requirements in order to encourage improved design and performance. The 200
34、7 edition was completely revised to better organize the requirements in the standard and to better differentiate between alternative water supplies for re ghting and municipal-type water systems. The material in Annex A on designing dry hydrant systems was reorganized and updated into a separate Ann
35、ex I. The other annexes were reviewed and updated to reect current practices. In the 2012 edition of NFPA 1142, the Technical Committee made multiple updates to denitions in an effort to be consistent with the NFPA Glossary of Terms. Substantial changes in the 2012 edition included new material with
36、 guidance on bridge access to water sources, clarication of the working space surrounding dry hydrants, and additional annex material regarding water eductors and ejectors. For the 2017 edition, the Technical Committee developed new text for alternative methods, modications to the standard, and unit
37、 and formula consistency. The Committee has added text for alternative water supplies from storage tanks, but the storage tanks need to be inspected and maintained to NFPA 25. Before combustibles can be brought to the site location, water supplies for re protection systems need to be established. Th
38、e technical committee removed signicant text and tables relative to re ow requirements, opting instead to utilize the Verisk Analytics website (ISO) information. Finally, Annex J, Geospatial Support for Water Supply Planning, has been added.WATER SUPPLIES FOR SUBURBAN AND RURAL FIRE FIGHTING 1142-2
