NFPA 1122 Code for Model Rocketry 2018 Edition This edition of NFPA 1122, Code for Model Rocketry, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics. It was issued by the Standards Council on October

12、 10, 2016, with an effective date of October 30, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1122 was approved as an American National Standard on October 30, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 1122 NFPA 1122 was originally created as a tentative code by the Technical Committe

13、e on Pyrotechnics as NFPA 41L, Code for Model Rocketry. It was adopted tentatively in May 1967 and adopted ofcially by the Association in May 1968. In November 1976, a major revision of NFPA 41L, including its redesignation as NFPA1122 L, Code for Unmanned Rockets, was adopted. The 1976 edition was

14、revised by the Technical Committee on Pyrotechnics in 1980 to eliminate the “L” designation and to delete the requirements for cold-propellant model rocket motors, which are no longer allowed because of their use of chlorouorocarbons (Freon 12). Other technical changes were made at that time. Those

15、revisions were adopted at the 1981 NFPA Fall Meeting, and the new document became the 1982 edition. Amendments to the 1982 edition were processed at the 1986 NFPA Fall Meeting, resulting in the 1987 edition. Because of the rapid progress in consumer rocket technology and the emergence of the commerc

16、ial space transportation industry, the 1987 edition was amended, and its title was changed back to NFPA 1122, Code for Model Rocketry, for the 1994 edition. For the 1997 edition, the terminology and provisions relating to reloadable solid-propellant model rockets and reloadable solid-propellant mode

17、l rocket motors were incorporated into the document for consistency with changes made to federal regulations that affected the model rocketry industry. The changes in federal regulations, which occurred after the previous edition of this code had been adopted, were reected throughout the document. I

18、n addition, the citations for federal regulations were updated throughout the document to reect changes made to those regulations since the previous edition of the Code had been prepared. Other changes were editorial in nature to bring the document into compliance with NFPA style. The 2002 edition i

19、ncluded a new edition of the National Association of Model Rocketrys Model Rocket Safety Code. Other changes included the deletion of material covered by NFPA 1125, Code for the Manufacture of Model Rocket and High Power Rocket Motors, that was no longer needed in NFPA 1122. The code also was revise

20、d to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. The 2008 edition incorporated minor revisions to the standard; several denitions were amended to comply with the NFPA Glossary of Terms. The 2013 edition provided updates to federal regulation citations and references. The

21、denitions for model rocket motor and high power rocket motor were revised to more clearly distinguish them from each other. Weight limits for model rockets were modied in accordance with new FAA regulations. Safe spectator distances were established for simultaneous launches of more than 10 rockets.

22、MODEL ROCKETRY 1122-2 2018 Edition The 2018 edition includes a change that allows another option for calculating the minimum launch site dimensions for original rocket designs or rocket kits, which cannot normally be obtained by manufacturers. This change permits a consumer to accurately calculate t

23、he altitude that any rocket will attain with any motor and allows the consumer to obtain an estimate of the ight altitude that is subsequently used for determining minimum launch site dimensions. The 2018 edition also contains an update in Annex B to the National Association of Rocketrys Model Rocke
