29、 Rights Reserved. NFPA 412 Standardfor EvaluatingAircraftRescueandFire-FightingFoamEquipment 2014Edition This edition of NFPA 412,StandardforEvaluatingAircraftRescueandFire-FightingFoamEquip- ment, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting. It was issued by the Sta
30、ndards Council on May 28, 2013, with an effective date of June 17, 2013, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 412 was approved as an American National Standard on June 17, 2013. OriginandDevelopmentofNFPA412 Work on this material started in 1955 when the NFPA Subcommittee on Ai
31、rcraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (as then constituted) initiated a study on methods of evaluating aircraft rescue and fire-fighting vehicles. A tentative text was adopted by the Association in 1957, and a revised text was officially adopted in 1959. Revisions were made in 1960, 1964, 1965, 1969, 1973
32、, and 1974. With the introduction of new types of foam liquid concentrates over the years for this specialized service, the text has been broadened to cover these concentrates. In 1987, the standard was completely revised to bring it into conformance with the NFPA Manual of Style and to refine the t
33、est methods. The 1993 edition of the standard established a single test method for expansion and drainage for all foams and also added information on using the conductivity meter for deter- mining foam solution concentration. Problems with the apparatus of the single test method in the 1993 edition
34、and with accurately determining results indicated a need to reinstate the simpler method for the 1998 edition as an alternative method. The simpler method is also in general field use. The standard was revised for the 2003 edition with only minor editorial changes. For the 2009 edition, the Technica
35、l Committee reaffirmed the requirements of the 2003 edition, and minor editorial changes were made. For the 2014 edition, the Technical Committee has revised many of the requirements regarding foam and the testing and test method requirements for foam. These updated requirements allow for a broader
36、use and application of foams along with the methods and equipment that are used to evaluate the foam. The Technical Committee also made several changes according to the Manual of Style for NFPATechnical Committee Documents, and updated references to NFPA and non-NFPA documents. 4121 NFPA and Nationa
