Give facilities reliable auxiliary power on demand with the updated 2010 NFPA 110. If disruption of the normal utility supply occurs, readiness of emergency power is a key consideration in safeguarding building occupants. NFPA 110: Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems covers performance requirements for power systems providing an alternate source of electrical power in the event that the primary power source fails. Power systems covered include power sources, transfer equipment, controls, supervisory equipment, and all related electrical and mechanical auxiliary and accessory equipment needed to supply electrical power to the load terminals of the transfer equipment. Among the changes in the 2010 edition of NFPA 110 are: * Clarification that the Standard is intended to apply to Level 1 or Level 2 emergency power supply systems (EPSSs) * Operation testing and routine maintenance provisions cover new and existing EPSSs. * Revised definitions of automatic transfer switch and non-automatic transfer switch for consistency with NFPA 111 and correlation with relevant product standards * Revised material on Level 1 and Level 2 EPSSs clarifies the function and applicability of each type of system * Differentiation of requirements for acceptance testing for new and unoccupied buildings versus those for existing occupied buildings and facilities. In addition, criteria for test duration, step-testing intervals, and required documentation have been modified. * Revised rules for operational test durations for diesel and spark-ignited prime movers. Also, the 36 month test requirement has been revised to clarify the maximum duration, the minimum acceptable EPS loading or operating condition, and the method of test initiation.

Major changes in the 2015 NFPA 45 clarify rules and provide up-to- date fire safety requirements for new and existing laboratories. NFPA 45: Standard on Fire Protection for Laboratories Using Chemicals is the comprehensive source for requirements for the fire safe design and operation of instructional, educational, and industrial laboratories to avoid injury to lab occupants. This Standard outlines the maximum allowable quantities of liquids and gases, as well as requirements for laboratory ventilating systems and chemical fume hoods. An expanded scope and new chapter help protect students and staff in school laboratories. NFPA 45 now applies to all educational and instructional laboratories, independent of the quantity of chemicals present. In response to recent incidents involving injuries to students and faculty, a new chapter on Educational and Instructional Laboratories was added to this edition, with requirements intended to protect people during experiments and demonstrations involving hazardous materials. Other changes in the 2015 edition clarify application and help designers, installers, facility managers, and AHJs comply. By spelling out which chapters in NFPA 45 apply to new and existing facilities, the 2015 edition makes it easier for designers, facility managers, owners, and enforcers to ensure the correct protocols are in place. Other changes impact specific facilities, chemicals, and safety controls. Clarified requirements explain where Class A, B, C, and D laboratory units are permitted below grade. New requirements address fire retardant clothing. New requirements for inert atmosphere glove boxes address the need for equipment to prevent fires caused by air- and water- reactive chemicals. New safe handling requirements are provided for handling pyrophoric reagents and water-reactive material. New safety control rules for open flame operations improve safety by reducing risks to personnel. Keep laboratory personnel,

Updates in the 2016 NFPA 13: Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems help designers, engineers, contractors, and installers develop the best fire sprinkler defense for any occupancy. Fire protection challenges have changed along with construction materials and types of storage. Get equipped for today's hazards by getting up-to-code with the new industry standard for the automatic sprinkler system design, installation, and acceptance testing; hanging and bracing systems; underground piping; and seismic protection. Revisions to commodity classification tables in the 2016 NFPA 13 present the most significant update to the tables in over 30 years. Updated classification tables in Chapter 5 Annex based on today's materials help sprinkler system designers avoid common errors in classifying commodities. The new tables improve accuracy and reduce the risk for mistakes that could prove catastrophic in a fire. In a major change that impacts installers, the 2016 NFPA 13 adds a new requirement that a single air vent be installed for each wet sprinkler system to help reduce potential corrosion activity due to trapped air. A task group concluded that venting the trapped air in a wet system can decrease water delivery time, reduce alarm ring delay, reduce water flow alarm cyclic ringing, and reduce corrosion activity. Other changes in this edition provide more flexible options for sprinkler design. Improve automatic fire sprinkler effectiveness and avoid errors using the new research-based 2016 edition of NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems. (Softbound, 488 pp., 2016)
