Redundancy Comments to the Correlating Committee

The concept of limiting the redundancy in chapters 12-21 of NFPA has been

discussed throughout this revision cycle. While the TC is in general support of this

concept, making these redundancy revisions at the Second Phase of the cycle is not

appropriate. The reject but hold action for this item will allow the TC on Discharge

Criteria to submit the concept to the correlating committee for review and

refinement before proceeding into the 2019 edition revision cycle.

Discharge Committee recommendations to the TCC Correlating Task Group in

addition to work done so far are as follows:

Descriptive and repetitive text in Titles and subsections need to be resolved.

Create a consolidated In-Rack design section.

Solid Shelf Consolidation

Consider a separate chapter for ESFR and CMSA – eliminate from each section.

Consider a general rule that all sections under a Section or Subsection heading

apply to the heading limitations

Clarify when a subsection is an exception to a general rule – possibly annex

Create a Pre Storage Chapter with a roadmap of defining decision making sequence

Take action on Chapter 22 – reply to other standards to remove sprinkler

requirements

Chapter 3 –

1. Consolidate definitions in alphabetical order – one book

Chapter 7 –

1. Look at consolidating common rules between system types – such as dry pipe

and preaction etc.

Chapter 8 –

2. Section 8.5 was supposed to be general – consolidate 8.6, 8.7, 8.8,8.9 and 8.10

criteria where applicable

3. Remove In-rack criteria – coordinate with Storage sections

Chapter 9 –

1. Remove Hanging and Bracing to it’s own standard

Chapter 13 –

1. 13.2.1 and 13.2.2 – look at similar text and possibly combine

2. Consider moving chapter 13 to prior to chapter 12

Chapter 14 –

1. Combine Chapter 14 with 15

Chapter 15 –

1. Combine Chapter 14 with 15

Chapter 16 –

1. Consolidate the In-Rack Criteria

2. Consolidate below 25 ft with above 25 ft criteria

3. Combine Chapter 16 and 17

Chapter 17 –

1. Consolidate the In-Rack Criteria
