29、essels2013 EditionThis edition of NFPA 1925, Standard on Marine Fire-Fighting Vessels, was prepared by theTechnical Committee on Marine Fire Fighting Vessels. It was issued by the Standards Councilon November 27, 2012, with an effective date of December 17, 2012, and supersedes allprevious editions.
30、This edition of NFPA 1925 was approved as an American National Standard on December17, 2012.Origin and Development of NFPA 1925This standard resulted from a request by the NFPA Fire Service Training Committee stat-ing that there was a need for a document addressing construction, testing, and operati
31、on ofmarine fire-fighting vessels. The Technical Committee on Marine Fire Fighting Vessels wasappointed and began work on developing this document in 1991. The committee met manytimes during the 1990s to draft the first edition of the standard, which was issued by NFPA inthe summer of 1998.The 2004
32、edition of NFPA 1925 was a complete revision of the document to comply withthe NFPA Manual of Style. Many of the changes in the document are editorial in nature andinclude updating definitions for consistency with the NFPA Glossary of Terms. In addition, theCommittee eliminated waterline length as a
33、 consideration of the designation of class of fire-fighting vessel to focus on vessel functionality; operational requirements were streamlined toeliminate those provisions not essential as design considerations by marine fire-fighting vesseldesigners; and some existing requirements were reworded to
34、state equipment usage in per-formance language so the requirement would be applicable to the activity being conductedby the designated class of marine fire-fighting vessel.For the 2008 edition, the committee completely revised the standard to redesignate themarine fire-fighting vessel classification
35、s and capabilities from three to five categories to beconsistent with the NIMS DHS Table for Emergency Support Function (ESF) #4, shown inChapter 5. With this change, the standard included vessels that had been designated as beingequipped with fire-fighting capabilities according to the NIMS DHS Tab
36、le for ESF #4. Thiseffort provided a consistent methodology for defining the capabilities for marine fire-fightingvessels that support resource sharing in mutual aid applications.Also for the 2008 edition, the committee reorganized and updated the information in thedocument to make it consistent wit
37、h current industry design and specification practices. Thecommittee updated the equipment specification listings for each class of marine fire-fightingvessel.For the 2013 edition, the committee has completely reorganized Chapter 6, Fire-FightingSystem Capabilities, to remove redundant requirements a
38、nd assist the user with applying thestandard. In addition to updating the definition of fire-fighting vessel, the committee alsoadded new definitions for CategoryAmachinery space and net positive suction head. Extinguishingsystems, optical warning devices, installation of navigation equipment, and t
39、esting of commu-nication and signaling equipment are some of the other requirements that have been up-dated in this edition of the standard.DedicationThe Marine Fire Fighting Vessels Committee dedicated the 2004 edition of the standard tothe late Timothy Stillman, who was a member of the Committee f
