1、 Tentative Interim Amendment NFPA1982 Standard on Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS) 2013 Edition Reference: Various TIA 13-2 (SC 16-11-8 / TIA Log #1247) Pursuant to Section 5 of the NFPA Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards, the National Fire Protection Association has issued

2、the following Tentative Interim Amendment to NFPA 1982, Standard on Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS), 2013 edition.
