Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 3-601-02 8 September 2010 FOREWORD The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and moderniza
5、tion criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DOD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT i.e., measures could range from minor operational changes to completely ceasing operations. Determining factors vary from testing-related impairments and maintenance
6、activities during normal business through extensive impairments to high-value, high-hazard situations. 1-11.3.1 The maintenance activity must inform installation and operational commanders of new impairments not corrected within 72 hours, of the jointly developed compensatory measures being recommen
7、ded, and of the remaining mission risk exposure. 1-11.3.2 Commanders may require evacuation of the workplace until impairments are corrected (OSHA general industry standard: 29 CFR Part 1910 Subpart L App A).

9、watch responsibilities as mitigating or compensatory measures would not be expected to have other duties beyond fire safety, occupational safety, or security. Normally, dedicated fire safety, occupational safety, or security personnel may be assigned to conduct mitigating or compensatory fire watch
10、activities as part of their normal functions. 1-12 SYSTEM IMPAIRMENTS AND REPAIRS AND CORRECTIONS REPORTING The maintenance activity must regularly inform installation and operational commanders, not less than twice a year, of the system impairments, compensatory measures in place, projected correct

RCM analysis identifies any defects responsible for system malfunc
13、tion and how they can be detected and corrected before a fire. A byproduct of RCM analysis is a list of ITM tasks and how often they must be accomplished (frequencies) to achieve a desired reliability (0.99 for this UFC; see paragraph 1-6). The methodology used to develop the ITM tasks in this UFC i
14、s summarized in AFCESA/CES Technical Report 01-10, “Risk Based Reliability Centered Maintenance of DOD Fire Protection Systems.” The model used in the report assumed a system demand of one event in fifty (1/50) years and a task effectiveness (ITM done right) of 99 percent. This RCM analysis emphasiz
15、ed task effectiveness (“Is it the right thing to do and is it done right?”) and timeliness (“Is it done before a demand?”). The resulting list of tasks and frequencies, therefore, considered frequency and probabilities of demands and failures. 2-1.1 Features Requiring Maintenance All fire protection
16、 features installed in DOD facilities must be maintained in accordance with this UFC. Features that have been disabled in place pending removal are not considered installed. 2-1.2 Unrequired Features A critical component of any reliability-centered maintenance program is ensuring that the components
17、 being maintained are required to be present. Fire protection features not specifically required by UFC 3-600-01 shall be removed to minimize the maintenance workload burden. Unrequired features can be abandoned in place pending final removal if all public interface devices are removed. 2-2 ITM TASK
18、 DESCRIPTIONS AND FREQUENCIES Note: Military family housing (MFH) systems are addressed in Chapter 3. 2-2.1 Task Descriptions The ITM tasks in tables 2-1 through 2-26 and 3-1 and 3-2 were selected to ensure that the fire protection system would function on demand. Technical tasks must be performed a
19、ccording to the manufacturers instructions. 2-2.1.1 Supervised Components Supervision of components increases the likelihood that conditions or faults will be detected without an inspection activity. In these cases, the ITM task is to respond to the alarm and to test the supervisor device (e.g., val
20、ve tamper switch) periodically. Accordingly, the tables reflect the improved fault or condition detection by specifying less frequent inspections. Different frequencies are recommended for monitored and for unmonitored fire alarm control equipment. A monitored system is a system that transmits troub
21、le alarms to a supervisory station. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 3-601-02 8 September 2010 10 2-2.1.2 Event-Driven Tests Some tests should be event driven. For example, a main drain test is intended to verify the open condition
22、 of a control valve to a sprinkler or water spray system, and needs to be done only when the control valve has been operated for maintenance or testing. 2-2.1.3 Excluded National Fire Code Tasks Some tasks recommended in the National Fire Codes are not included in these frequency tables. The detaile
23、d analysis documented in AFCESA/CES Technical Report 01-10 excluded tasks that did not contribute to the overall system operational reliability and did not need to be performed. These deleted tasks do not improve the operability of the systems because: (1) the faults they detect are not significant;
24、 (2) the faults are detected by other tasks or means; or (3) the faults will be self-evident (“fix it when it breaks”) and do no significantly impair the system. The deleted tasks are not required to be accomplished and shall not be included in reoccurring maintenance programs. 2-2.1.4 Non-ITM Activ
25、ities Inspection activities listed at the end of each ITM table are not part of the ITM program but are part of building overall inspection and are listed for information only. They were not included in the model used to develop the 99 percent reliability requirements; however, they should be incorp
26、orated into each DOD component activitys fire prevention, safety, facility condition, and related inspection or evaluation program. 2-2.1.5 Medical Facilities For medical facilities that require Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accreditation, follow the tasks
27、 frequencies indicated in the related NFPA codes and standards. 2-2.1.6 Fire Extinguishers Fire extinguisher and fire extinguisher cabinet maintenance are not addressed in this UFC. 2-2.2 Fire Detection and Alarm Systems The type and frequency of ITM tasks for fire detection and alarm systems depend
28、 on whether the system is monitored or not. Guidance on the tasks in Table 2-1 is contained in the “Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance” section of NFPA Standard 72 (NFPA 72). Residential smoke detectors are addressed in Chapter 3 of this UFC. Fire alarm systems with more than two abnormal conditio
29、ns (trouble conditions) are outside their minimum tested or listed operating parameters and may not meet their performance requirement for receipt or transmission of subsequent alarm or additional trouble conditions. WARNING Any fire alarm system with more than three unexplained activations (fire in
30、dication conditions) in a 6-month period is experiencing a system instability that should be evaluated by a technician or engineer, and appropriate corrective measures should be implemented immediately. WARNING Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from
31、 IHS-,-,-UFC 3-601-02 8 September 2010 11 Alarm systems in a TROUBLE condition should be able to transmit an ALARM condition while in trouble; however, because this is not considered to be a normal or acceptable alarm system status, immediate maintenance action is indicated. CAUTION Any fire alarm s
32、ystem with more than three explained activations (fire indications) resulting from non-fire events being mistaken for actual fires should be evaluated by a technician or engineer to determine if corrective actions are necessary.
