13、nt of NFPA 17 The Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems Committee was established in 1952. At that time, there was no dry chemical extinguishing system tested and listed by a testing laboratory, but by late 1954, a system was tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. At its meeting in January

14、 1955, the Committee prepared an outline of a standard on dry chemical extinguishing systems and, in the following year, prepared the standard that was tentatively adopted by the National Fire Protection Association on June 7, 1956. Changes to the tentative standard led to approval of the rst ofcial

15、 NFPA standard on dry chemical extinguishing systems in 1957. Further amendments were made in 1958, 1968, 1969, 1972, 1973, 1975, and 1980. The 1985 edition was a complete revision of the standard. The 1990 edition was a partial revision. The 1998 edition of the standard was revised to clarify the r

16、equirements for protection of unclosable openings and equipment shutdown. Changes to the 2002 edition consisted of an editorial restructuring of the standard in accordance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents, a specic reference for the listing of pre-engineered systems, a

17、nd a simplication of the requirements for common ducts. The 2009 edition included requirements for service technician qualications. Denitions were coordinated with the NFPA Glossary of Terms. The 2013 edition of this standard claried the requirements for inspection and maintenance and provided new r

18、equirements for installation acceptance. The 2017 edition includes revisions to clarify the intent of component and system requirements in Chapters 4 and 5, respectively. Editorial changes include an update of the standard to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents.DRY
