NFPA 1150 Standard on Foam Chemicals for Fires in Class A Fuels 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 1150, Standard on Foam Chemicals for Fires in Class A Fuels, was prepared by
12、the Technical Committee on Water Additives for Fire Control and Vapor Mitigation. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 11, 2016, with an effective date of December 1, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1150 was approved as an American National Standard on
13、December 1, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 1150 The rst edition of this document was issued in 1989 as NFPA 298, Standard on Foam Chemicals for Wildland Fire Control, in response to a perceived need for a performance standard dealing with the foam chemicals being used in controlling wildland r
14、es. The 1994 edition was a complete revision to make the document consistent with the developing changes in Class A foam technology. The title was changed to Standard on Fire Fighting Foam Chemicals for Class A Fuels in Rural, Suburban, and Vegetated Areas. In 1999, the document was again revised to
15、 reect further advancements in technology and a greater number of Class A concentrates and delivery systems available for use. The document was renumbered as NFPA 1150, which put it within the numerical grouping of documents under the responsibility of the Technical Committee on Forest and Rural Fir
16、e Protection. The 2004 edition was a complete revision to bring the document into conformance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. The title was changed to Standard on Foam Chemicals for Fires in Class A Fuels to recognize that these chemicals are being used not only in r
17、ural and wildland areas but in structural re ghting and urban areas as well. The test procedures for the chemicals as well as the lists of materials tested for compatibility with the chemicals were updated to ensure the product is consistent with the needs of re suppression personnel who are using t
18、he chemicals to control, suppress, or prevent res in Class A fuels. In the 2010 edition, an entirely new section was added regarding exposure protection effectiveness of Class A foams and included a test methodology involving lateral ignition ame spread on substrate treated with foam solutions. That
19、 important information is useful for re departments as well as manufacturers and producers of Class A foam products. For the 2017 edition, a new section has been created within Chapter 5 to provide requirements for alternate viscosity test methods for situations in which the viscosity is too low to
20、obtain meaningful results. Editorial changes include updating the standard to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents.FOAM CHEMICALS FOR FIRES IN CLASS A FUELS 1150-2 2017 Edition Technical Committee on Water Additives for Fire Control and Vapor Mitigation Armand V.
