NFPA 505 Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks Including Type Designations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, and Operations 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 505, Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks Including Type Des
33、ignations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, and Operations, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Industrial Trucks. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 28, 2017, with an effective date of August 18, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 505 was appr
34、oved as an American National Standard on August 18, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 505 Chapter 1 (formerly Part A) of this standard was originally designated as NFPA 505A and was rst adopted by the Association in 1951. Chapters 8 and 9 (formerly Parts A and B), “Maintenance of Industrial Truck
35、s” and “Fuel Recharging, Marking, and Operation of Industrial Trucks,” were originally adopted in 1952 and published by NFPA under the designations NFPA 505B and 505C, Standards for the Maintenance and Safe Operation of Industrial Trucks. In 1955, the three documents were combined into one standard,
36、 NFPA 505. Revisions were made in 1955, 1957, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1978, 1982, and 1987. The 1971 edition was the rst edition to be approved by ANSI. In the 1992 edition, Group F was added to the list of classied locations to correlate with NFPA 70 , National E
37、lectrical Code . In the 1996 edition, changes were made to the types of trucks listed for operation in Class I, Division 2 locations, and a new Type DX designation was added. Also, a new section on compressed natural gas (CNG) was added, and related changes to the chapters on dual-fuel trucks and co
38、nverted trucks were made. The 1999 edition was revised to make the entire document more user-friendly and to facilitate its use with NFPA 70. The 2002 edition was editorially reorganized to conform to the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents and to further clarify specic use areas
39、for industrial trucks. Changes to the 2006 edition were primarily editorial reviews that claried requirements and provided additional information on hazardous areas and their classications. The 2011 edition saw an expansion of applicability to address fuel cell systems and conversions. The material
40、on the electric hazard classications was revised to incorporate the Class I, Zone concept, and other language was updated to the 2008 edition of NFPA 70. The 2013 edition expanded the requirements for hydrogen-powered fuel cell systems for powered industrial trucks. Additional requirements and updat
41、ed reference materials and standards were given for the use of these vehicles. The 2018 edition was updated with current references. For this document revision cycle, the document scope was not revised to address other industrial trucks.POWERED INDUSTRIAL TRUCKS 505-2 2018 Edition Technical Committe
