Fo

32、71970. The earliest activity of NFPA in the field of mobile homes and recreationalvehicles was the formation of an NFPA Committee on Trailers and Trailer Camps in 1937. Itsfirst standard was adopted in 1940. That edition remained unchanged until after World WarII, when a 1952 revision was approved.
33、These editions were entitled Standards forFire Preventionand Fire Protection in Trailer Coaches and Trailer Courts. In 1960, NFPA acted to approve a revisedversion, dividing the text into two parts one designated 501A, covering trailer courts, andthe other designated 501B, covering trailer coaches.
34、In 1961, a new edition of 501B wasadopted under the title Standard for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Mobile Homes and TravelTrailers, and in 1963, a revision of same was approved. Revisions of both NFPA 501A and 501Bwere acted upon in 1964.In the early 1960s, the Mobile Homes Manufacturers
35、Association (MHMA) and the TrailerCoach Association (TCA) prepared, under the aegis of the American Standards Association(now ANSI), two standards that subsequently were approved as the American Standard Instal-lations of Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Systems inTravelTrailers (A119.2-1963) and St
36、andard forFirePreventionandFireProtectioninMobileHomesandTravelTrailers (A119.1-1963). As of October16, 1964, the two separate standards activities were consolidated with the approval of theUnited States of America Standards Institute (formerly American Standards Association andsubsequently ANSI). I
37、n 1969, the Recreational Vehicle Institute (RVI) was added to theMHMA, NFPA, and TCA as the fourth cosponsor of the project. The first Standard for Recre-ational Vehicles, developed under the consolidated efforts of NFPA, MHMA, TCA, and RVI, wasapproved by NFPA in 1970 and by ANSI in 1971 and replac
38、ed ASA Standard A119.2-1963.The MHMA and the TCA were merged in 1975 to become the Manufactured HousingInstitute (MHI). The RVI was redesignated the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association(RVIA) also in 1975, absorbing the Recreational Vehicle Division of the TCA.19701977. Previous editions of the S
39、tandard on Recreational Vehicles were published in 1970(approved by NFPA May 20, 1970), 1972 (approved by NFPA May 16, 1972, and approved byANSI on April 19, 1973), 1974 (approved by NFPA May 21, 1974, and approved by ANSI onFebruary 5, 1975), and 1976 (adopted by NFPA November 17, 1976).The 1977 ed
40、ition of the standard was developed by the Sectional Committee on Recre-ational Vehicles; processed through the Correlating Committee on Mobile Homes and Rec-reational Vehicles; approved by NFPA at its 1977 Annual Meeting held in Washington, DC,May 1619; and approved by ANSI on October 18, 1977. The
41、 only substantive changes in the1977 edition were revisions to Part 8 on mobile home park electrical systems. Some editorialrevisions were made in other parts, and references to other standards were updated.11921NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National

Subsequent to the 1977 edition, NFPA withdrew as a cosponsor of the ANSI project and established itsown project, covering only the subject of fire safety for recreational vehicles.The 1982 edition of the standard was produced by t
43、he newly formed committee (June 20, 1979) that was chargedwith the responsibility of developing a standard for fire safety for recreational vehicles and recreational vehicle parks.Therefore, the 1982 edition and the 1986 edition both excluded all sections of the previous editions not consideredwithi
44、n the committee scope. Notably excluded were sections dealing with plumbing. Modifications were made insections dealing with heating, fire, and life safety and included conformance with the NFPA Manual of Style. The 1986edition included minor changes in all chapters and a new Chapter 5 to replace Ap
45、pendix C so that all mandatoryprovisions were contained in the body of the document.The 1990 edition contained minor revisions to Chapters 2 and 3, and one new definition was added to Chapter 1.A few definitions were revised in the 1993 edition, and minor changes were incorporated in Chapters 2 and
46、3,including the size of alternate exits.Minor changes were made in all chapters of the 1996 edition, including a new section on clothes dryers, 2-6.8; therequirement for an LP-Gas detector, 3-4.7; and the expansion of provisions for recreational vehicles used for transport-ing or storing internal co
47、mbustion engine vehicles, 3-4.8 (formerly 3-4.7).In the 1999 edition, NFPA 501C was renumbered as NFPA 1192. Chapter 2 requirements on LP-Gas containers andconnectors were updated. Changes also included modifications to Chapter 3 requirements for exit facilities andspecial transportation provisions.
48、The 2002 edition consisted of a major editorial reorganization of the document in accordance with the Manual ofStyle for NFPA Technical Committee Documents, 2000 edition. Other changes occurred in the language of caution andwarning labels.In the 2005 edition, the committee completed the editorial re
49、vision to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPATechnicalCommittee Documents and merged the requirements from ANSI A1192.2, which is no longer published, into NFPA 1192.The 2005 edition was revised to contain minimum requirements for the installation of plumbing, fuel-burning,electrical, and other safety-related systems in recreational vehicles. Technical changes to the standard included clari-fication of requirements for location and securing of propane containers, requirements for high-pressure piping andautomatic generator starting systems, and revision of requiremen
