12、tion of NFPA 75, Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Electronic Computer Systems and acted on by NFPA at its June Association Technical Meeting held June 1316, 2016, in Las Vegas, NV. It was issued by the Standards Council

13、on August 4, 2016, with an effective date of August 24, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 75 was approved as an American National Standard on August 24, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 75 The Committee on Electronic Computer Systems was formed by the action of the

14、 NFPA Board of Directors in January 1960, following a request for standardization of re protection recommenda tions by the computer industry. The committee rst submitted the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer Systems to the 1961 NFPA Annual Meeting, and it was tentatively adopted. At

15、 the 1962 Annual Meeting, it was ofcially adopted as an NFPA standard. Revisions were adopted in 1963, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1981, 1987, and 1989. The document was completely rewritten for the 1992 edition. The document was revised in 1995, 1999, and again in 2003. The 2003 edition incorporated th

16、e NFPA Manual of Style for technical committee documents revisions. In editions of this standard prior to 2003, the terms electronic computer/data processing equipment and electronic computer system were used where the current terms information technology equipment and information technology equipme

17、nt system, respectively, are used. Similarly, the terms computer room and computer area were replaced by information technology equipment room and information technology equipment area, respectively. The title was changed from Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipm

18、ent to Standard for the Protection of Information Technology Equipment. While the title and some terminology were changed in the 2003 edition to more closely align this standards terminology with terminology being used in other standards, such as NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, and UL 60950, Safe

19、ty of Information Technology Equipment, the scope of this standard and any denitions associated with those like terms remained the same. For the 2009 edition, Section 4.2, Telecommunications Risks, was updated; many of the UL references were updated; new requirements were added for signage to indica

20、te that equipment will remain energized where continuous power is provided; and ame spread indexes were provided for many of the materials listed in the standard. For the 2013 edition, the title was again changed, to Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment, to better ree

21、ct the scope of the document and to be clear that the standard is strictly for re protection. The 2013 edition featured a new section on the emerging use of aisle containment systems for information technology equipment and how such systems must be assessed for their interaction with re protection f

22、eatures. A number of denitions were extracted from NFPA 70 to dene words used in the body of the standard that previously were not dened.FIRE PROTECTION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT 75-2 2017 Edition The 2017 edition of the standard has been revised to permit performance-based designs for spe

23、cic provisions of the standard. Chapter 4 now states the approaches that are permitted to be followed (prescriptive or performance based), and the new Chapter 5 details the requirements when a performance-based approach is selected. This has been done to account for changes in the operation of data

24、centers that can require more exibility than is often provided by prescriptive approaches. Extensive annex material that provides guidance on designing detection for high airow environments, including detector sensitivity and spacing, has been added to the standard based on Fire Protection Research
