NFPA 901 Standard Classications for Incident Reporting and Fire Protection Data 2016 Edition This edition of NFPA 901, Standard Classications for Incident Reporting and Fire Protection Data, was prepared by the Tech
31、nical Committee on Fire Reporting. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 14, 2015, with an effective date of December 4, 2015, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 901 was approved as an American National Standard on December 4, 2015. Origin and Development of NFPA
32、 901 As the objectives of re defense management have narrowed from the control of conagrations early in the 20th century toward the control of res in rooms, the need for uniform information about re incidents as well as for an effective method of collecting and using that information has become reco
33、gnized. In 1938, a re reporting system prepared by NFPA was published by the International City Managers Association. This system served as a start toward the uniform reporting of re incident information. In 1951, the NFPA Committee on Fire Casualty Statistics was formed. The report of that committe
34、e was adopted as NFPA 3 in May 1953. In its introduction, that document contained the following statement: “The absence of accurate and detailed statistics on re casualties has hindered attempts by educational and other means to reduce the number of deaths and injuries from re.” In 1961, the NFPA Bo
35、ard of Directors, after two years of surveying the need, called a national conference on re reporting. On the recommendation of that conference, an NFPA committee was formed in February 1963 to devise a uniform and useful system of re reporting adaptable to the needs of the re service in the United
36、States and Canada. From 1963 to 1969, the committee strived to develop a uniform language for re defense management and issued tentative documents as work progressed. In 1969, the ve tentative documents were combined and ofcially adopted as the rst edition of NFPA 901, Coding System for Fire Reporti
37、ng. The document was updated in 1971 with minor revisions. With the 1973 edition, the title was changed to Uniform Coding for Fire Protection, and data elements were added to report mobile property and details of re casualties (deaths and injuries). By the time of the 1976 edition, the committee was
38、 getting feedback from persons using the data elements in reporting systems and was able to effect modications to improve the understanding of the data elements. Data elements were also added to report structural re defenses and their performance at the time of an incident. In 1981, data elements we
39、re added to enhance the reporting of wildland res, re ghter casualties, and pre-hospital medical care administered. The 1986 edition introduced data elements for reporting hazardous material. Those data elements were expanded in the 1991 edition to a comprehensive set of hazardous materials data ele
40、ments. The 1995 edition reorganized the document editorially to better group the data elements as they relate to each other. Discussion of how the data elements are intended to be used was added, and classications within some of the data elements were revised to reect changing needs when capturing o
41、r using data. Also, the title for the 1995 edition was changed to Standard Classications for Incident Reporting and Fire Protection Data. The 2001 edition added several new data elements and extensively revised others based on a detailed analysis by the U.S. Fire Administration and the National Fire
42、 Information Council of the way that data are collected and used by re departments. Some of the changes split data elements so that a data element focuses on a single question or issue rather than multiple issues, as had sometimes been done in the past. The changed technology available for data capt
43、ure and storage noINCIDENT REPORTING AND FIRE PROTECTION DATA 901-2 2016 Edition longer placed limitations on record size and data manipulation that had sometimes been obstacles in the past. The 2006 edition was revised to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. Vario
44、us sections were updated editorially for clarication. The 2011 edition was a reconrmation of the 2006 edition. There were no substantive edits or changes made to the document. The 2016 edition features changes to align the language and information with the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NF
45、IRS). An effort has been made to tie the two more closely together, and additional tables have been included in NFPA 901 to reect changes in NFIRS.COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 901-3 2016 Edition Technical Committee on Fire Reporting David J.
