Public Input No. 13-NFPA 170-2012 [ Global Input ]

3.3.3 Photoluminescent.

A type of sign that is self-energized with respect to luminosity and requires no external power source.

A.4.1.3

Photoluminescent materials in compliance with UL1994 can be used. Consideration needs to be given to the proper mounting of photoluminescent symbols in well-lighted location to ensure charging by exposure to ambient light.

A.5.1.3.

Photoluminescent materials in compliance with UL1994 can be used. Consideration needs to be given to the proper mounting of photoluminescent in well-lighted location to ensure charging by exposure to ambient light.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input

I propose to replace the term "self-luminous" with "photoluminescent" throughout NFPA 170. It is obvious from the material description in A.4.1.3 and A.5.1.3 that the intent of NFPA 170 is to describe the photoluminescent feature. UL924 Standard 9th edition describes the term "self-luminous" as follows: 4.48 SELF-LUMINOUS EXIT SIGN – A sign with an integral legally required legend that is poweredcontinuously by a self-contained energy source other than a battery, such as radioactive tritium gas.Operation of a self-luminous exit sign is independent of external power supplies or other external formsof energy. This definition does not include exit signs dependent upon photoluminescent materials.UL924 Standard 9th edition describes the term "photoluminescent" as follows:4.38 PHOTOLUMINESCENT – Having the property of emitting light that continues for a length of timeafter excitation by visible or invisible light has been removed.Emergency Evacuation Diagrams and Plans are not made using radioactive self-luminous material and not made using reflective material (reflective material is typically used on car license plates and traffic signs). Yet, Emergency Evacuation Diagrams and Plans are quite frequently made using photoluminescent material which charges when ambient lighting is on and emits its (non-electrical, non-radioactive) luminance in full darkness for building occupants to read in darkness scenarios.

Not an ExitAccording to Ms. Sandra Stanek CFPS, the square field characteristic of the symbol describes the emergency exit symbol (see note below). If this is the case, then the first characteristic should be the Red Prohibition Symbol which describes the general shape or field of the concerned symbol. I used the "Red Prohibition Symbol" term in reference to 4.1.3.2.1. where the specifications of the prohibition symbol can be found. This term is also used in the characteristics of "No Fire Fighting" symbol.

The "Background white" characteristic follows right after the "Red Prohibition Symbol" characteristic. This arrangement would naturally describes the background color of the prohibition symbol as white.

Note: I raised the issue of the square field to Ms. Stanek CFPS through email and her reply was: Question #2 Not an exit. The door itself is square encased within the red circle & diagonal slash.

Fire Department Automatic Sprinkler Connection - SiameseThe proposed change will prevent confusion with the first example of Fire Department Automatic Sprinkler Connection - Single.

Emergency TelephoneThe proposed change shall identify the standard field of the symbol. A rectangular field can also be used alternatively. Whichever the shape will be used, it must be included in the corresponding characteristics column of the symbol. The chosen shape or field should be the first characteristic to achieve consistency with other symbols' characteristics.

No Fire FightingHaving the octagonal field as the first characteristic in the column can result in a little bit of confusion until you analyze the symbol and its characteristics more closely. Since the first characteristic of the preceding symbols (except for Emergency Telephone) describes the overall shape of these symbols, the No Fire Fighting symbol should follow also this format. Hence, the proposed change.

SCBA symbolThe symbol should have a square field to achieve consistency with the corresponding characteristic.

Firefighting Hose or Standpipe Outlet SymbolAccording to Ms. Sandra Stanek, CFPS, this symbol can be used for Class II and III standpipes. This symbol should not be used for Class II standpipe (or occupant use) so as not to confuse with Fire Hose or Standpipe symbol for General Use (Table 4.2, page 170-12). For Class III standpipes, the appropriate symbol would be the Fire Department Standpipe Connection symbol (Table 5.2, page 170-14) with a white flame beside it. Having a different symbol for each class of standpipe could prevent confusion and delay in response to fire. A firefighter carrying a hose could be mistakenly led to Class II standpipe instead to Class III in case there is no Class I standpipe in the stairwell.

NFPA 5000. NFPA 5000 offers the following four definitions:3.3.674.3 Fire Barrier Wall. A wall, other than a fire wall, having a fire resistance rating.3.3.674.4 Fire Wall. A wall separating buildings or subdividing a building to prevent the

spread of fire and having a fire resistance rating and structural stability.3.3.474.2 Smoke Partition. A continuous membrane that is designed to form a barrier to limit

the transfer of smoke.3.3.51.2 Smoke Battier. A continuous membrane, or a membrane with discontinuities

created by protected openings, where such membrane is designed and constructed to restrict the movement of smoke.Most noticeably, there is a technical difference between a fire wall and a fire barrier wall and

Table 6.3.3 does not recognize this difference. Furthermore, Table 6.3.3 does not provide a symbol for a smoke partition, which is different than a smoke barrier.As an example, Table 6.3.3 provides a symbol for a 2-hour fire rated wall. Thus, using the

definition in NFPA 5000, which is used throughout the NFPA standards, this symbol is to be used for a free-standing wall having structural stability (i.e., a wall separating bays in a warehouse or a wall providing separation between transformers). This symbol cannot be used to identify a stairway enclosure in a high rise building because those walls do not have structural stability. The table does not provide a symbol for a 2-hour fire barrier wall typically found in a building.My proposed corrections identifies the additional symbols and definitions that are required to

provide a complete listing. Also please note that no NFPA standard or nationally recognized building code recognizes or requires a 3/4-hour barrier wall; the symbol should eliminated.

Committee Statement

Resolution: FR-4-NFPA 170-2013Statement: The basic shape for "wall" does not need designation therefore we are not

adding other verbiage. The symbol SP is a smoke partition and special terms are not necessary. The submitter's "barrier wall'' designation is not changed by the Technical Committee because there is varied terminology for fire rated construction and we are not removing 3/4 fire rated wall because there may besituations where it could be used by a designer. The technical committee is adding the new designation "F" to denote a firewall to the "2 hour", "3 hour", 4 hour" symbols. See attachment for new artwork

All of the rated designations are shown as fire rated walls. NFPA differentiates between fire walls and fire barriers. There should be a way to differentiate between these on the drawings. By changing the line type and the description of the line type, it is easier for a designer to indicate what is intended by the fire resistance rating applied to the partition. In addition, the current line types are not standard AutoCad line types and as such, using them requires additional steps to be taken to import the line type to the .dwg file. This creates problems when files are transferred digitally and edited by multiple architects/engineers.

Committee Statement

Resolution: The use of double lines would signify the symbols would be lost on small scale drawings. The submitter may use these line types in his work but the TC recognizes that this same idea is due to the control of the placement of the symbols. The TC has always rejected the use of color to differentiate the line type.

1. The line type shown for "Water Main Under Building" is not a standard AutoCad line type. As such it must be created for each drawing in order to follow this standard. When this happens, extra files are required to be transmitted with the digital version of the drawing in order for the line type to appear properly on another machine. 2. Meter types were not specified even though the comment noted "indicate type." Meter types were added in order to standardize subscripts that are associated with the meter symbol.


Submitter Full Name: ADAM GRAYBEALOrganization: KOFFEL ASSOCIATESSubmittal Date: Mon Jun 11 11:17:54 EDT 2012

Committee Statement

Resolution: The technical committee recognizes that the symbol for "water main under building" is left up to the design professional, he or she can use the one in Table 7.2 or use their own. The symbol change for “flow meter” is not being changed because the basic symbol indicates the type of meter. The user is always free toadd his own supplemental data using local terminology and subscripts such as this public input.

Window sprinklers


The sprinkler guard symbol can easily be mistaken for a sprinkler or standpipe riser because the "X" goes through the whole circle. With the X removed from the middle and only showing on the outside, not only is the symbol less confusing, but also it lets the plan reviewer see more easily what type of sprinkler is being represented, especially if there is only one sprinkler guard in a room.



Committee Statement

Resolution: It is the individual designer's option to show sprinkler designations in his sprinkler head legend on his drawing. There is no support from the TC for shading in the designation for dry pendent.

1. Combined combination heat detector/smoke detector into 1 symbol. When the 2 symbols are next to each other, they are easily mistaken for 2 separate devices placed next to each other. By combining this into 1 symbol, it allows for easier delineation between the two meanings.2. Added return air and supply air subscripts to the duct detector symbol. This type of differentiation is already being used, but standard symbols do not yet exist. 3. Added symbol for fire alarm isolation module. This device is required in many installations and as such there should be a standard symbol for it.



Committee Statement




Resolution: FR-8-NFPA 170-2013Statement: 1. Combined combination heat detector/smoke detector into one symbol. The

TC is changing the shape of symbol only. By combining this into one symbol, it allows for easier delineation between the two meanings. 2. The TC is not adding the smoke detector sensor for the duct as it adds confusion and could cause designer errors. 3. This symbol already exists in Table 8.5 therefore the TC is not adding it. 4. Adding new symbol to "Gas Detector/Sensor SubscriptExamples" (changing name to Gas Detection Types) for designation ofsmoke/heat detector/carbon monoxide detector does exist, and a symbol isrequired. 5. Moving symbols within Table for ease of use

Additional Proposed Changes

Section 12


Background – Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services Department took delivery of a new 100’ aerial platform in the fall of 2011. The first thing to impress me about this new fire truck was the abundance of safety symbols for everything imaginable. I counted 24 different symbols. In January I walked the vendor exhibit floor at Fire Rescue East, Daytona Beach, Florida and noted that several apparatus manufacturers were also using safety symbols, however they were all different. NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus requires signage, but not symbols as follows: Section 4.9.4 requires that these signs be in compliance with ANZI Z535.4.Section 14.1.3.8 requires a seat belt sign.Section 15.7.5 requires a sign prohibiting riding on the rear step.Section 19.18.3 requires a sign on aerials about the electrocution hazard.Section 19.23.1.2 requires additional signage on aerials.

On February 2, 2012 I requested that the NFPA 170 Technical Committee form a Fire Apparatus Safety Symbol Task Group. That Group was approved by Sandra Stanek, NFPA on February 21, 2012.

A survey was mailed to fifty major fire apparatus manufacturers from a FAMA (Fire Apparatus Manufactuers Assocition) list on March 8, 2012.

Many FAMA compnaies responded to the survey.

On or about April 25, 2012 Roger Lakore, a FAMA member, requested that FAMA take the lead on developing a proposal. The NFPA Task Group held further action and transmitted all information received to the FAMA Task Group.

The FAMA Task Group met at least twice and through additional communication developed a "white paper" recommending standard fire apparatus safety symbols.

This proposal seeks to incorporate the work done by the NFPA Task Group and the FAMA Task Group into a new Chapter 12 in NFPA 170.

FAMA Product Safety Signs for Automotive Fire Apparatus - 2 - 3 DEFINITIONS

3.1 Product Safety Sign

Sign, label, or decal affixed to a product that provides safety information concerning the hazard, the degree or level of hazard seriousness, the probable consequence of involvement with the hazard, and how the hazard can be avoided.

4 GENERAL

4.1 New product safety sign ideas should be forwarded to FAMA. The FAMA Product Safety Sign group will consider new ideas at each FAMA technical committee meeting and add new text and artwork as appropriate.

4.2 The product safety signs shown in this document are designed for sufficiency of text and graphic size with respect to each hazard.

4.3 Limitations inherent in some reproduction and display technologies may require increased line thickness or other minor modifications of symbols. Such modifications are acceptable provided the symbol is unchanged in its basic graphical elements and remains easily discernible by the operator.

4.4 To improve the appearance and perceptibility of a safety sign, or to coordinate with the design of the equipment to which the sign is applied, it may be necessary to change the line thickness or round the corners of a symbol. The graphic designer is free to make such changes, provided that the essential perceptual characteristics of the symbol are maintained.

4.5 Some of the product safety signs included in this document are provided with “textless” two-panel versions developed using the guidelines found in ISO ISO 7010. These versions may be used in place of the ANSI Z535.4 signs at the option of the manufacturer.

4.6 Symbols on controls and displays shall have good contrast to their background. Pictorials may use either a light symbol on a dark background or a dark symbol on a light background at the manufacturer’s discretion. When a pictorial image is reversed (for example, from black-on-white to white-on-black and vice versa), it shall be done for the entire pictorial.

4.7 Product safety signs should be located as close as practical to the recommended locations.

4.8 Reference numbers are provided as a convenience to the organization of this document and need not appear on the final product.

4.9 Product safety sign graphic thumbnails are provided in this document. Full scale artwork can be downloaded from the FAMA website at www.FAMA.org.

4.10 All standard ISO version signs are 6.65 in. tall by 3.35 in. wide.

4.11 Font sizes are based on using Microsoft Sans Serif.

5 NFPA APPARATUS STANDARD COMPLIANCE

5.1 NFPA 1901 and NFPA 1906 include certain detailed specifications for safety sign text that address specific hazards. These standards also state that “Safety-related (caution, warning, danger) signs shall meet the requirements of ANSI Z535.4, Product Safety Signs and Labels”. The detailed text spelled out in the NFPA standards, however, does not necessarily conform to the ANSI Z535.4 format. This presents the apparatus manufacturer with a conflict of either providing the text verbatim from the NFPA standard, or modifying the text to comply with the ANSI Z535.4 guidelines. The safety signs provided in this document address this conflict by presenting safety signs that meet the letter of the ANSI Z535.4 guidelines while remaining as true as possible to the intent of detailed text found in the NFPA apparatus standards. It is the intent of the authors of this paper to suggest changes to the NFPA documents that will resolve these conflicts for future revisions.
