    Committee Statement and Meeting Notes

    CommitteeStatement:

    NFPA 853 should reference NFPA 80 for the installation requirements of firedampers. The requirements for installation, testing, and maintenance of firedampers were removed from NFPA 90A and placed in NFPA 80 for the 2007edition. A new Chapter 19 in the document now contains the requirementsthat were previously found in NFPA 90A with regards to installation, testingand maintenance. For the 2009 edition of 90A, the requirements werereplaced with a reference to NFPA 80, where such requirements now reside.

    Committee Statement and Meeting Notes

    CommitteeStatement:

    In 1990 the NEC incorporated specific less flammable liquid-filled transformer requirements into Section 450.23, in effect recognizing less-flammabletransformers as inherently safer than conventional oil-filled transformers.Since at least 1997 FM approval Standard 6933, Less FlammableTransformer Fluids and FM 3990, Less or Nonflammable Liquid-InsulatedTransformers have been available to industry and a number of manufacturershave obtained product listing/approvals to these standards. Standard 340,Tests for Comparative Flammability of Liquids, and Guides EOVK and XPLHare comparable UL documents. Property loss prevention recommendedpractice is described in the Factory Mutual Global Data Sheet 5-4,Transformers. The current edition of NFPA 853 does not have any provisionsthat apply to less flammable liquid-filled transformers.
