19、ing and Proximity Fire Fighting2014 EditionThis edition of NFPA 1851, Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Protective Ensemblesfor Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, was prepared by the Technical Committeeon Structural and Proximity Fire Fighting Protective Clothing and

20、 Equipment, released bythe Technical Correlating Committee on Fire and Emergency Services Protective Clothingand Equipment, and acted on by NFPA at its June Association Technical Meeting held June1013, 2013, in Chicago, IL. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 26, 2013, with aneffective da

21、te of August 15, 2013, and supersedes all previous editions.This edition of NFPA 1851 was approved as an American National Standard on August 15,2013.Origin and Development of NFPA 1851The first edition of NFPA 1851, in 2001, was titled Standard on the Selection, Care, and Main-tenance of Structural

22、 Fire Fighting Protective Ensembles, and was developed to be a companiondocument for NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting. NFPA 1971,which has been in effect since 1975, specifies product design, performance, testing, andcertification. NFPA 1971 is written for use

23、 by manufacturers to design and produce theirproducts and by certification organizations to evaluate and test those products to determinecompliance with the standard as well as to provide checks on production to ensure continu-ing compliance. While NFPA 1971 is primarily written for those groups, th

24、e standard is alsoused by fire departments and other organizations in developing purchase specifications forstructural fire fighting protective ensembles and ensemble elements to ensure that the prod-ucts they purchase are certified as being compliant with the standard.NFPA 1851 is written for the o

25、rganizations that evaluate the risks their emergency respond-ers face and their particular needs for the protective clothing, that develop purchase specifi-cations, and that purchase structural fire fighting protective ensembles and ensemble ele-ments. It is also written for end users of structural

26、fire fighting protective ensembles andensemble elements to be able to inspect, maintain, and care for the protective ensembles andelements they use during structural fire fighting operations.The overall protection and safety of fire fighting personnel depend not only on adequateprotective clothing b

27、ut equally on the organizations policies, training, and administration ofthe correct use of the proper protective ensembles in fire fighting situations. To satisfy theportion of the organizations overall protective clothing and equipment program that ad-dresses structural fire fighting protective en

28、sembles, this document provides criteria for theselection, care, and maintenance of the protective ensemble and ensemble elements.In this standard, the requirements for several areas are written to begin with the personwho actually uses the protective ensemble being constantly aware of the protectiv

29、e ensemblescondition and need for cleaning, repair, or more in-depth inspection. Users can perform thesimple actions to improve the condition of the protective ensemble. The more involvedactions of advanced inspection, evaluation, cleaning, decontamination, and repair arehandled by the organizations

30、 designated staff who are trained and authorized to performmore advanced duties. In other areas, the requirements are written for the organization toperform the administrative functions of the program and periodic actions to evaluate thestructural fire fighting protective ensemble program to ensure

31、that the program is achievingits goals and that the quality of the protective ensembles and ensemble elements providesoptimum safety to fire fighters.The second edition of NFPA 1851 was a complete revision of the first edition.

33、under theTechnical Committee on Structural and Proximity Fire Fighting Protective Clothing and Equipment, NFPA 1851 wasexpanded to include both structural fire fighting ensembles and proximity fire fighting ensembles.The complete revision followed the new standards format according to the Manual of

34、Style for NFPA TechnicalCommittee Documents, which has Chapter 1 covering scope, purpose, and application; Chapter 2 covering referencedpublications; and Chapter 3 covering definitions. Chapter 4 covered the organizations program; Chapter 5, selection;Chapter 6, inspections; Chapter 7, cleaning and

35、decontamination; Chapter 8, repairs; Chapter 9, storage; Chapter 10,retirement, disposition, and special incident procedures; Chapter 11, new requirements for independent serviceproviders (ISPs); and Chapter 12, testing procedures.New requirements in Chapter 11 for organizations and ISPs and for ver

36、ification of the ISPs by independent,third-party certification organizations set the criteria for organizations and ISPs to perform the tasks of inspection,cleaning, and repairing of protective ensembles and ensemble elements. New requirements for testing methods fortrained personnel in the organiza

37、tion as well as the ISPs set the criteria to determine the functionality and protectionafforded by the ensembles and ensemble elements.Requirements were revised in Chapter 10 for retiring structural fire fighting ensembles and ensemble elements andproximity fire fighting ensembles and ensemble eleme

38、nts to require retirement not later than 10 years from the datethe ensembles or ensemble elements were manufactured. The radiant reflective outer shell of proximity fire fightingensembles and ensemble elements must be replaced a maximum of 5 years from the date the ensembles or ensembleelements were

39、 manufactured. More frequent replacement of fire fighting ensembles and ensemble elements was nowrequired to better ensure that fire fighters have state-of-the-art protection from fire fighting environments. The signifi-cant changes that the technology undergoes within two editions of this standard

40、(approximately 10 years), in additionto the normal “wear and tear” of fire fighting, other emergency incident responses, training, and other factors, dictatethat protective ensembles and ensemble elements be replaced. Fire departments that respond to a higher-than-average number of emergency inciden

41、ts or that have frequent or extensive “working fire” operations might want toplan for replacement of ensembles or ensemble elements on a more frequent cycle.This third edition of NFPA 1851 is a complete revision and features many editorial changes as well as new definitionsfor manufacturer trained o

42、rganization, verified organization, and verified independent service provider (ISP). A new table hasbeen added to Chapter 4 that specifies the responsibilities for garment inspection, cleaning, and repair. Chapter 6,Inspection, now includes inspection for delamination and label integrity and legibil

43、ity. Chapter 7 has changes to thecleaning and decontamination procedure, and Chapter 8 has revised requirements for the repair of ensemble andensemble elements. There are also several changes to Chapter 11, Verification, that affect how an organization or ISPis to be verified, and two new tables hav

44、e been added that address advanced inspection and advanced cleaningevaluations.18512 SCAM OF PROTECTIVE ENSEMBLES FOR STRUCTURAL FIRE FIGHTING AND PROXIMITY FIRE FIGHTING2014 EditionTechnical Correlating Committee on Fire and Emergency Services Protective Clothing and EquipmentWilliam E.
