Copyright 2017 National Fire Protection Association . All Rights Reserved. NFPA 1192 Standard on Recreational Vehicles 2018 Edition This edition of
32、NFPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Recreational Vehicles. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 1, 2017, with an effective date of August 21, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1192 was approved as an Amer
33、ican National Standard on August 21, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 1192 19371970. The earliest activity of NFPA in the eld of mobile homes and recreational vehicles was the formation of an NFPA Committee on Trailers and Trailer Camps in 1937. Its rst standard was adopted in 1940. That edition
34、 remained unchanged until after World War II, when a 1952 revision was approved. These editions were entitled Standards for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Trailer Coaches and Trailer Courts. In 1960, NFPA acted to approve a revised version, dividing the text into two parts one designated 501
35、A, covering trailer courts, and the other designated 501B, covering trailer coaches. In 1961, a new edition of 501B was adopted under the title Standard for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Mobile Homes and Travel Trailers, and in 1963, a revision of same was approved. Revisions of both NFPA 5
36、01A and 501B were acted upon in 1964. In the early 1960s, the Mobile Homes Manufacturers Association (MHMA) and the Trailer Coach Association (TCA) prepared, under the aegis of the American Standards Association (now ANSI), two standards that subsequently were approved as the American Standard Insta
37、llations of Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Systems in Travel Trailers (A119.2-1963) and Standard for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Mobile Homes and Travel Trailers (A119.1-1963). As of October 16, 1964, the two separate standards activities were consolidated with the approval of the Unite
38、d States of America Standards Institute (formerly American Standards Association and subsequently ANSI). In 1969, the Recreational Vehicle Institute (RVI) was added to the MHMA, NFPA, and TCA as the fourth cosponsor of the project. The rst Standard for Recreational Vehicles, developed under the cons
39、olidated efforts of NFPA, MHMA, TCA, and RVI, was approved by NFPA in 1970 and by ANSI in 1971 and replaced ASA Standard A119.2-1963. The MHMA and the TCA were merged in 1975 to become the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI). The RVI was redesignated the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVI
40、A) also in 1975, absorbing the Recreational Vehicle Division of the TCA. 19701977. Previous editions of the Standard on Recreational Vehicles were published in 1970 (approved by NFPA May 20, 1970), 1972 (approved by NFPA May 16, 1972, and approved by ANSI on April 19, 1973), 1974 (approved by NFPA M
41、ay 21, 1974, and approved by ANSI on February 5, 1975), and 1976 (adopted by NFPA November 17, 1976). The 1977 edition of the standard was developed by the Sectional Committee on Recreational Vehicles; processed through the Correlating Committee on Mobile Homes and Recreational Vehicles; approved by
42、 NFPA at its 1977 Annual Meeting held in Washington, DC, May 1619; and approved by ANSI on October 18, 1977. The only substantive changes in the 1977 edition were revisions to Part 8 on mobile home park electrical systems. Some editorial revisions were made in other parts, and references to other st
43、andards were updated. 1977present. Subsequent to the 1977 edition, NFPA withdrew as a cosponsor of the ANSI project and established its own project, covering only the subject of re safety for recreational vehicles. The 1982 edition of the standard was produced by the newly formed committee (June 20,
44、 1979) that was charged with the responsibility of developing a standard for re safety for recreational vehicles and recreational vehicle parks. Therefore, the 1982 edition and the 1986 edition bothRECREATIONAL VEHICLES 1192-2 2018 Edition excluded all sections of the previous editions not considere
45、d within the committee scope. Notably excluded were sections dealing with plumbing. Modications were made in sections dealing with heating, re, and life safety and included conformance with the NFPA Manual of Style. The 1986 edition included minor changes in all chapters and a new Chapter 5 to repla
46、ce Appendix C so that all mandatory provisions were contained in the body of the document. The 1990 edition contained minor revisions to Chapters 2 and 3, and one new denition was added to Chapter 1. A few denitions were revised in the 1993 edition, and minor changes were incorporated in Chapters 2
47、and 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; the requirement for an LP-Gas detector, 3-4.7; and the expansion of provisions for recreational vehicles used for transporting or storing inter
48、nal combustion 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 and connectors were updated. Changes also included modications to Chapter 3 requirements for exit facilities and special transportation prov
49、isions. The 2002 edition consisted of a major editorial reorganization of the document in accordance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents, 2000 edition. Other changes occurred in the language of caution and warning labels. In the 2005 edition, the committee completed the editorial revision to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee 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 t
