30、s edition of NFPA 15 was approved as an American National Standard on August 17, 2006.Origin and Development of NFPA 15The Standard for Water Spray Fixed Systems for Fire Protection, formerly Water Spray Nozzles andSystems, first prepared by the Committee on Manufacturing Hazards, was tenta-adopted
31、in 1939, with final adoption in 1940. Subsequently, this standard was placedthe jurisdiction of the Committee on Special Extinguishing Systems, and a new editionadopted in 1947. In 1959 the committee organization was further changed to placeresponsibility in the hands of the Committee on Water Spray
32、, under the generalof the General Committee on Special Extinguishing Methods. In 1966 the Gen-Committee on Special Extinguishing Methods was discontinued, and the Committee onater Spray was constituted as an independent committee.
