12、 Fire Apparatus 2016 Edition This edition of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Department Apparatus and acted on by NFPA at its June Association Technical Meeting held June 2225, 2015, in Chicago, IL. It was issued by the Standards Cou

13、ncil on August 18, 2015, with an effective date of September 7, 2015, and supersedes all previous editions. This document has been amended by one or more Tentative Interim Amendments (TIAs) and/or Errata. See “Codes & Standards” at www.nfpa.org for more information. This edition of NFPA 1901 was app

14、roved as an American National Standard on September 7, 2015. Origin and Development of NFPA 1901 The 2009 edition of NFPA 1901 was a general update of the 2003 edition. The text was reorganized to present the requirements better, text was added to clarify requirements, and the requirements for deliv

15、ery of documentation and test results with the apparatus were standardized. Annex material was added throughout to assist the user in understanding and meeting the requirements. A new chapter on trailers transporting equipment or other vehicles under emergency response conditions was added, and chan

16、ges were made throughout the document where necessary to address the requirements for the vehicle that is to tow the trailer. A requirement was added for a vehicle data recorder to capture data that can be used to promote safe driving and riding practices. The requirements for vehicle stability were

17、 changed to require tilt table testing, a calculated center of gravity no higher than 80 percent of vehicle height, or a vehicle stability system. The 2009 edition introduced the concept of estimated in-service weight as a basis for designing the apparatus and measuring certain stability requirement

18、s and links the maximum top speed of the apparatus to the GVWR and agent tank capacity or the tire manufacturers ratings. A “Statement of Exceptions” required the manufacturer to deliver either a certication that the apparatus meets the standard or a statement that describes specically what is not f

19、ully compliant and identies who is responsible for achieving compliance. Because of diesel particulate lters being installed on re apparatus, requirements for operation and performance of those devices were added. Requirements for the minimum length of seat belts were established, together with inst

20、ruction for how they are measured. A seat belt warning device to indicate when seat belts are not being properly used was required. Those new requirements also allowed seat belts to be bright orange in addition to red. The cabs on apparatus with a GVWR over 26,000 lb (11,800 kg) had to meet standard

21、s on occupant protection during crashes. In addition, the document discouraged the wearing of re helmets in the cab and required provisions for proper storage of helmets while the vehicle is moving. More specic requirements for the retroreective material used for striping apparatus were added, and s

22、triping on the rear of the apparatus was changed to require retroreective striping in a chevron pattern sloping downward and away from the centerline of the vehicle at an angle of 45 degrees.AUTOMOTIVE FIRE APPARATUS 1901-2 2016 Edition The chapter on industrial supply pumps rated over 3000 gpm (12,

23、000 L/min) was integrated with the chapter on re pumps rated 3000 gpm (12,000 L/min) or less, and differences in requirements based on rated capacity were spelled out in the revised re pump chapter. A requirement was added for testing the accuracy of the gauges and owmeters during the pump certicati

24、on testing. A change to the aerial ladder and elevating platform requirements allowed for electronic envelope control, with electronics and interlocks used to prevent an aerial device from moving into an area where it cannot support its rated capacity. Foam systems are required to be type tested for

25、 accuracy and certied by the system manufacturer and, after installation, to be tested and certied by the nal installer for proper operation. In addition to reorganization of material in the line voltage electrical system chapter for clarication, changes included requiring the protective ground from

26、 a shoreline inlet to be bonded to the vehicle frame, requiring the neutral conductor to be switched through the transfer switch if there are multiple power sources, establishing a minimum wire size for cord on permanently mounted reels, requiring xed scene lighting devices to be tested and listed,

27、and additional testing. In Chapter 24, Air Systems, requirements for who is to train re department personnel were revised. A high-temperature alarm is required in the compressor compartment together with a label cautioning users not to obstruct the airow. Compressors are required to be equipped with

28、 an air qualitymonitoring system. If a compressor is driven by an electric motor, a shoreline connection to the electric motor is required. High-pressure air hose and couplings are to have a pressure rating equal to or greater than the highest pressure expected to be encountered, with a safety facto

29、r of 4 to 1. Requirements for the testing and certication of breathing air ll stations were changed to add systems lling SCUBA, the section on system testing was changed to be specic to breathing air systems, and a new was added for testing utility air systems. The 2016 edition of NFPA 1901 includes

30、 a new chapter on ultra-high pressure (UHP) re pumps and associated equipment due to the increased use of UHP re pumps. This edition provides guidance to manufacturers and purchasers as to the design, testing, and performance of UHP re pumps with a rated discharge pressure of 1100 psi (7600 kPa) or

31、greater. The Committee also claried the requirements within Chapter 16 for pump controls and added updated tables to the body of the chapter for the engine speed advancement interlock test. Additional changes have been made throughout the document to remove redundant language and to clarify requirem

32、ents.
