NFPA 1962 Standard for the Care, Use, Inspection, Service Testing, and Replacement of Fire Hose, Couplings, Nozzles, and Fire Hose Appliances 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 1962, Standard for the Care, Use, Inspection, Service Testing, and Replacement of Fire Hose, Coupli
33、ngs, Nozzles, and Fire Hose Appliances, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Hose. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 10, 2017, with an effective date of November 30, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1962 was approved as an American National
34、 Standard on November 30, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 1962 NFPA originally developed a recommended practice for the care, maintenance, and use of re hose in 1936 through its Committee on Field Practices. This document was designated NFPA 198, Care of Fire Hose, and was revised extensively t
35、hrough the years. In 1954, the Fire Hose Committee assumed responsibility for the document. In 1979, NFPA 1962, Standard for the Care, Use and Maintenance of Fire Hose Including Connections and Nozzles, was issued as a new standard. The standard was completely rewritten but still contained portions
36、of NFPA 198. The requirements were carefully developed to ensure a reasonable level of reliability for re hose that is in service. The 1993 edition recognized the increased use of hose testing machines in the test procedure section. The test requirements for booster and suction hose were revised by
37、incorporating the information in the standard rather than referring to a different standard. The 1998 edition dened separate test procedures for using a hose testing machine and using a stationary re pump or pumper as the pressure source. It also required that unlined re hose be replaced with lined
38、re hose when the unlined re hose came due for testing. In the 2003 edition, the title was changed to Standard for the Inspection, Care, and Use of Fire Hose, Couplings, and Nozzles and the Service Testing of Fire Hose. The requirements for service testing new hose for the rst time were revised. Disc
39、ussion about using supply hose was revised to remove the implication that it can be used in certain attack applications, and the requirements related to the use of relief valves were more closely tied to the service test pressure of the hose. New requirements were added for inspection of the hose li
40、ner and attachment of shank-type couplings. Record-keeping requirements for occupant-use hose were revised to reect that such hose is inspected and serviced similar to a re extinguisher. The document was completely revised in accordance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents
41、, and changes were made to improve understanding of the requirements. The 2008 edition of NFPA 1962 included a new chapter for the use, inspection, and testing of re hose-connected appliances. NFPA 1965, Standard for Fire Hose Appliances, which was issued in 2008, provided for minimum performance an
42、d operational requirements for new re hose appliances, while NFPA 1962 provided testing criteria so that hose appliances could be tested and maintained in an equivalent manner. In addition to a reorganization, the 2013 edition added “replacement” to the title of the standard and to the title of Chap
43、ter 4. Table 7.1.1.1, the guideline for testing hose manufactured prior to July 1987, was removed and replaced with language indicating the removal of any hose over 25 years old from service. A new chapter was created just for nozzles, separating them from gaskets and couplings. Finally, a new annex
44、, Annex B, Specifying and Procuring Fire Hose, was added.CARE, USE, INSPECTION, TESTING, AND REPLACEMENT OF HOSE, COUPLINGS, NOZZLES, AND APPLIANCES 1962-2 2018 Edition The 2018 edition of NFPA 1962 makes several changes or updates to address advancements in technology, specically in the area of pre
45、ssure control devices as they relate to re department apparatus and pumps on re department apparatus. The committee also includes changes to ensure that occupant-use hose is included in the service testing portions of the document.COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 1962-3 2018 Edition Technical Committee on Fire H
