1、 Tentative Interim Amendment NFPA1971 Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting 2013 Edition Reference: Various TIA 13-2 (SC 13-3-18/TIA Log #1092) Pursuant to Section 5 of the NFPA Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards, the National

2、Fire Protection Association has issued the following Tentative Interim Amendment to NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, 2013 edition. The TIA was processed by the Technical Committee on Structural and Proximity Fire Fighting Protectiv

3、e Clothing and Equipment and the Correlating Committee on Fire and Emergency Services Protective Clothing and Equipment, and was issued by the Standards Council on March 7, 2013, with an effective date of March 27, 2013. A Tentative Interim Amendment is tentative because it has not been processed th

4、rough the entire standards-making procedures. It is interim because it is effective only between editions of the standard. A TIA automatically becomes a public input of the proponent for the next edition of the standard; as such, it then is subject to all of the procedures of the standards-making pr
