29、ational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds2014 EditionThis edition of NFPA 1194, Standard for Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds, wasprepared by the Technical Committee on Recreational Vehicles. It was issued by the Stan-dards Council on November 12, 2013, with an effective date of December 2, 20
30、13, and super-sedes all previous editions.This edition of NFPA 1194 was approved as an American National Standard on December 2,2013.Origin and Development of NFPA 1194The earliest activity of NFPA in the development of standards for recreational vehicle parkswas in 1937, and the first NFPA standard
31、 on the topic, officially adopted in 1940, was entitledStandard forTrailerCoaches andTrailerCoach Camps. A revision of the 1940 standard was adoptedby NFPA in 1952 (postWorld War II), entitled NFPA 501, Standards for Fire Prevention and FireProtection in Trailer Coaches and Trailer Coach Courts. In
32、1960, NFPA acted to approve a revisedversion that divided the earlier text into two parts one designated NFPA 501A, adopted thatyear as Standard for Fire Protection in Trailer Courts, and the other designated NFPA 501B,adopted in 1971 as Standard for Fire Prevention and Fire Protection in Mobile Hom
33、es and TravelTrailers. NFPA 501B was further amended in 1963, and in 1964, a revision of NFPA 501A wasapproved.During the years 19621964, the standards activities of the Mobile Homes ManufacturersAssociation and the Trailer Coach Association were consolidated. They produced standardsunder the Americ
34、an Standards Association (now known as ANSI) entitled American StandardInstallations of Plumbing, Heating and Electrical Systems in Travel Trailers (A119.2-1963) and asimilar Standard on Mobile Homes (A119.1-1963). These interorganizational arrangements werecompleted in 1964, and in 1969, the newly
35、formed Recreational Vehicle Institute was added asa fourth cosponsor.The first standard covering any aspect of recreational vehicle parks completed by thecurrent ANSI-sponsored committee was the Electrical Standard for Recreational Vehicle Parks(NFPA 501D-1971/ANSI A177.2-1972, subsequently redesign
36、ated as ANSI A119.4-1972). Thisedition of NFPA 1194 was prepared and published to update the previous material coveringelectrical safety in the 1964 edition of NFPA 501A, Standard for Fire Prevention and Fire Protectionin Trailer Courts. In the 1971 edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, elec
37、trical require-ments for trailer courts first appeared, based largely on NFPA 501D-1971. Since it obviouslywas necessary to maintain coordination between NFPA 501D and NFPA 70, the sponsoringcommittees established liaison procedures so that the intent of Chapter 6 of the 1977 editionof NFPA 501D was
38、 identical to that of Part B of Article 551 of NFPA 70.Companion NFPA documents to NFPA 501D, besides NFPA 70, were NFPA 1192, Standardon Recreational Vehicles, and NFPA 501A, Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured HomeInstallations, Sites, and Communities.Sponsorship for the 1977 editio
39、n of NFPA 501D was held jointly by the NFPA and theRecreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). The standard was developed by the Sec-tional Committee on Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds, which operated underthe Correlating Committee on Mobile Homes and Recreational Vehicles. The 1977
40、 editionincluded substantive revisions to the previous edition in Chapter 6, Electrical Systems.The 1982 edition, renamed Standard for Fire Safety Criteria for Recreational Vehicle Parks andCampgrounds, was produced by the Committee on Fire Safety for Recreational Vehicles,formed on June 20, 1979. T
41、he committee was responsible for developing a standard for firesafety for recreational vehicles and recreational vehicle parks, and, therefore, the 1982 edi-tion excluded all sections of the previous editions not considered within the committee11941NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are r

Sections dealing with environmental health and sanitation were notably excluded, as were requirements forpark electrical systems, which are addressed by reference to NFPA70. Modifications also were m
43、ade in sections dealingwith definitions and fire safety and to conform to the NFPA Manual of Style.The 1986 edition included very minor reference changes and revised definitions. The 1990 edition contained acompletely revised chapter on fire safety requirements, Chapter 3, so that nonfire safety ite
44、ms could be moved toother chapters handled by the ANSI A119 Committee. The standard was reconfirmed in 1993, and some sections thatwere considered operational concerns were deleted from Chapter 3 in the 1996 edition.The 1999 edition of NFPA 501D was renumbered as NFPA 1194, and the duplicate require
45、ment for a refuse disposalsystem was deleted from Chapter 3.Only minor technical changes were made in the 2002 edition. However, the document was completely reorganizedand editorially revised to comply with the requirements of the Manual of Style for NFPATechnical Committee Documents.Prior to the 20
46、05 edition, the requirements for environmental health and sanitation were developed by the ANSI A119Accredited Standards Committee, of which the RVIA was Secretariat. The requirements for fire safety were added, pub-lished, and distributed under one cover as ANSI A119.4/NFPA 1194 by ANSI, NFPA, and
47、RVIA.Through an agreement with the RVIA, responsibility for development of the standard was transferred to NFPA;therefore, the requirements for the design and construction features for recreational vehicle parks and campgroundsthat are appropriate to provide adequate environmental health and sanitat
48、ion, safety of electrical distribution systems,safety of LP-Gas storage and dispensing, and fire protection were combined into one standard NFPA 1194.The 2005 edition of NFPA 1194 was also subjected to editorial revisions in accordance with the Manual of Style forNFPA Technical Committee Documents.
49、Technical changes to the standard included revisions of requirements to addressthe larger scale of recreational vehicles and to provide specific requirements for wildland/urban interface areas.The 2008 edition provided new requirements for dead-end roads in excess of 100 feet in length. Associated annexmaterial was added to depict a range of dead-end situations. New requirements also were added to address propanecontainers.The 2011 edition included an updated and expanded definition of recreational vehicles as well as supporting materialin the annex that described the vari
