18、012 EditionThis edition of NFPA 220, Standard on Types of Building Construction, was prepared by the Tech-nical Committee on Building Construction. It was issued by the Standards Council on May 31,2011, with an effective date of June 20, 2011, and supersedes all previous editions.A tentative interim

19、 amendment (TIA) to 3.3.3, 3.3.4, 4.1.5, and 4.1.6 was issued on August 11,2011. For further information on tentative interim amendments, see Section 5 of the NFPA Regu-lations Governing Committee Projects available at: http:/www.nfpa.org/assets/files/PDF/CodesStandards/TIAErrataFI/TIARegs.pdf.This

20、edition of NFPA 220 was approved as an American National Standard on June 20, 2011.Origin and Development of NFPA 220In 1952, the Committee on Building Construction secured tentative adoption of NFPA 220,Standard on Types of Building Construction, at the NFPA Annual Meeting. At the 1954 NFPA AnnualM

21、eeting, revisions of the 1952 tentative text were adopted by the Association, and in 1955 minorrevisions also were acted on favorably.Anew definition of noncombustibility and editorial changes inthe description of the fire resistance rating of structural members (under the definition of fire-resisti

22、ve construction) were adopted at the 1956 NFPA Annual Meeting on the recommendation ofthe Committee on Building Construction.In 1958, with the development of the use of plastics in building construction, recommen-dations on the types of standard fire tests to be used in evaluating the fire safety of

23、 thesematerials were adopted and inserted in the appendix.In 1961, an appendix was adopted to furnish a guide to NFPA committees, regulatoryofficials, and others that addressed the classification of air-supported structures.In 1975, a more fundamental definition of noncombustible was added, includin

24、g the intro-duction of a definition of the term limited-combustible, based on potential heat value limitationsand more generalized definitions for types of building construction.In 1979, the standard was extensively rewritten to introduce the nomenclature related toconstruction Type I through Type V

25、, which included parenthetically placed hourly fire resis-tance designations of the structural components.The 1985 edition included the addition of a new Chapter 4, which provided referencedpublications whose use is mandated within this standard. The 1992 and 1995 editions pro-vided changes in techn

26、ical terminology as well as changes to increase the user-friendliness ofthe standard.The 1999 edition implemented a number of relatively minor changes, including the additionof several new definitions, the addition of a new requirement pertaining to exterior nonload-bearing walls, and a new provisio

27、n concerning the use of heavy timber exterior walls.In the 2006 edition, NFPA 220 became an extract document of NFPA 5000, Section 7.2. Atthe request of the Standards Council, the new edition provided users with a stand-alone set ofrequirements for construction types and fire resistance ratings of s

28、tructural elements.The 2009 edition provided updates to the extracted text that was sourced back toNFPA 5000 and NFPA 90A. These revisions included updates to the test protocols used toestablish flame spread/smoke developed index values, modified criteria for materials used inair handling plenum spa

29、ces, and provided recognition of the new criteria used to determinebuilding height and grade geometries.The 2012 edition has been updated to reflect changes in NFPA 5000 and NFPA 90A. Revi-sions include updates to the requirements for plenums and noncombustible materials.2201NFPA and National Fire P
