30、Care,Use,andMaintenanceofFlame-ResistantGarments forProtectionofIndustrialPersonnelAgainstShort-Duration ThermalExposuresfromFire 2015Edition This edition of NFPA 2113,StandardonSelection,Care,Use,andMaintenanceofFlame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Short-Duration
31、Thermal Exposures from Fire, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Flash Fire Protective Garments. It was issued by the Standards Council on April 29, 2014, with an effective date of May 19, 2014, and super- sedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 2113 was approved as an American Nati
32、onal Standard on May 19, 2014. OriginandDevelopmentofNFPA2113 The NFPA Standards Council established the Technical Committee on Flash Fire Protec- tive Garments in 1998. Between February and August of 1999, the Technical Committee developed two draft standards NFPA 2112,StandardonFlame-ResistantGarm
33、entsforProtection ofIndustrialPersonnelAgainstFlashFire, and NFPA 2113 which were then released for public proposals and comments. NFPA 2113 specified the minimum selection, care, use, and main- tenance requirements for flame-resistant garments that were compliant with NFPA 2112 for use by industria
34、l personnel in areas at risk from flash fires. The first editions of NFPA 2112 and NFPA 2113 were approved by the NFPA membership at the May 2001 NFPA World Fire Safety Congress and were issued by the Standards Council in July, 2001. The 2007 edition included amendments to the 2001 standard. Definit
35、ions were reviewed and modified to be consistent with both NFPA 2112 and the NFPA Glossary of Terms. The Committee also clarified elements of the hazard analysis and considerations for garment selection. In the 2012 edition, the scope and sections pertaining to workplace hazard assessment were modif
36、ied to reflect that flame-resistant garments for industrial personnel can protect against other types of short-duration flame exposure. New annex material was added that described other types and possible sources of short-duration flame exposure. The definitions were updated to be consistent with NF
37、PA 2112 and the NFPAGlossary ofTerms. In the 2015 edition, the Committee revised the title to better reflect the intended applica- tion for the standard, which is to address protection of industrial personnel from short- duration thermal exposures from industrial fires, not just flash fires. The Com
38、mittee also revised the scope and application provisions of the standard to be consistent with the broader concept of fire. In addition to modifying the scope and application requirements, the Com- mittee added a new section on responsibility to clarify that both the employer and employee have speci
39、fic responsibilities for selection, care, use, cleaning, and maintenance of protective garments. Definitions of extracted terms were modified to be consistent with updated terms in the NFPA Glossary of Terms, and definitions for risk and risk assessment were added to correlate with the new section i
40、n Chapter 4 permitting risk assessments to be used when evaluating where flame-resistant garments should be used. Throughout the standard, the Committee replaced “hazard assessment” with “hazard analysis” as being more appropriate for the application within this standard and more consistent with ind
41、ustry terminology. 21131 NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169.TechnicalCommitteeonFlashFireProtectiveGarments StevenD.Corrado, Chair UL LLC, NC RT StevenAddington, Eastman Chemical Company, TN
