Committee The definition of “gross floor area” includes all spaces within the boundary of a building, fire area or Statement: occupancy. Though this may be necessary in some cases, stairs and shafts should not be included when calculating the maximum size of health care suites and health care/ambulatory health care smoke compartments. FR 6769, 6820, 6832, 6833, 6850, 6851 and 6856 inserted the word “gross” in all paragraphs where health care suites and smoke compartment areas in health care and ambulatory health care occupancies have maximum area requirements. (The Code previously was silent.) Though the HEA Committee has taken a clarifying position, depending upon how this was interpreted in the past, this text change may adversely cause some existing health care and ambulatory health care smoke compartments and health care suites to become oversized if those areas include stairs and shafts that were not previously included in area calculations. Stair and shafts should not be counted as part of a health care or ambulatory health care smoke compartment or health care suite as including stairs and shafts would decrease their effective size. This change doesn’t materially impact the size of health care and ambulatory health care smoke compartments or health care suites as they still have travel distances limitations.

Affirmative with Comment Elvove, Joshua W. Adding a definition for "clear area" is needed, since the term is currently used in 7.2.4.2.4 (and will be used 5 more times within Chapter 7 in the upcoming edition). However, the new term may either be in conflict with, or the better term vis-a-vis "net floor area" which is used in a number of the occupancy chapters for similar purposes (i.e., to provide "accessible and unobstructed" floor area when relocating patients and residents into adjacent smoke compartments). Hence, the occupancy chapters should revisit whether the new definition for "clear floor area" is better suited where the term "net floor area" is currently used. Pauls, Jake I am still concerned about the last sentence being misused if users ignore other aspects of the standard (beyond its scope being limited to stairs of stipulated maximum pitch). To merely consult with the manufacturer is not adequate on its own. Additional mitigating measures beyond consulting with the manufacturer are needed. All such measures should only be implemented by competent inspection personnel complying, especially, with 4.1 of the Standard. Mitigation measures to be considered might include, for example, extra care with selection of only relatively highly experienced operating staff, limiting occupant weight, keeping one flight of the stair (ahead of the device) clear of other evacuees, etc.

Second Revision No. 6573-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 4.6.6 ]

4.6.6* Time Allowed for Compliance. A limited but reasonable time, commensurate with the magnitude of expenditure, disruption of services, and degree of hazard, shall be allowed for compliance with any part of this Code for existing buildings.

A.4.6.6

In some cases, appreciable cost might be involved in bringing an existing occupancy into compliance. It would be appropriate for the authority having jurisdiction to prescribe a schedule determined jointly with the building owner(s), or even the local building owners trade association, allowing suitable periods of time for the correction of the various deficiencies. The AHJ and building owner should consider, before establishing a time limit, the amount of time required for the building owner to secure the services of a design professional to execute construction documents; secure the necessary funding; secure tax credits/deductions and adjust insurance premiums; solicit and contact a general contractor; execute the permit process; execute the project while the building is occupied and operating; perform testing and final inspection, and receive a certificate of occupancy. In addition, the AHJ should consider the building stock (i.e., building sizes and quantity) in the jurisdiction. For example, the size of the buildings should be taken into consideration as the automatic sprinkler system retrofit of a high-rise building eight stories tall versus a high-rise building 40 stories tall will require significantly different lengths of time to execute corrective action as a result of the shear volume of each of the buildings.

Exits shall be permitted to discharge through interior building areas, provided that all of the following are met: (1) Not more than 50 percent of the required number of exit stairs serving normally occupied areas of each floor, and not more than 50 percent of the exit stair capacity required for normally occupied areas of each floor, shall discharge through areas on any level of discharge, except as otherwise permitted by one of the following: (a) One hundred percent of the exits shall be permitted to discharge through areas on any level of discharge in detention and correctional occupancies as otherwise provided in Chapters 22 and 23. (b) In existing buildings, the 50 percent limit on egress capacity shall not apply if the 50 percent limit on the required number of exits is met. (2) Each level of discharge shall discharge directly outside at the finished ground level or discharge directly outside and provide access to the finished ground level by outside stairs or outside ramps. (3) The interior exit discharge shall lead to a free and unobstructed way to the exterior of the building, and such way shall be readily apparent or shall be identifiable by exit signage from the point of discharge from the exit. (4) The interior exit discharge shall be protected by one of the following methods: (a) The level of discharge shall be protected throughout by an approved automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 9.7, or the portion of the level of discharge used for interior exit discharge shall be protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 9.7 and shall be separated from the nonsprinklered portion of the floor by fire barriers with a fire resistance rating meeting the requirements for the enclosure of exits. (See 7.1.3.2.1.) (b) The interior exit discharge area shall be in a vestibule or foyer that meets all of the following criteria: i. The depth from the exterior of the building shall be not more than 10 ft (3050 mm), and the length shall be not more than 30 ft (9.1 m). ii. The foyer shall be separated from the remainder of the level of discharge by fire barriers with a minimum 1-hour fire resistance rating, and existing installations of wired glass in steel frames shall be permitted to be continued in use. iii. The foyer shall serve only as means of egress and shall include an exit directly to the outside. Where 7.7.2 (2) is applied, one of the following shall be permitted: The interior exit discharge shall lead to a free and unobstructed way to the exterior of the building, and such way shall be readily apparent or shall be identifiable by exit signage from the point of discharge from the exit. Up to 75 percent of the exits shall be permitted to discharge through areas on any level of discharge provided the interior exit discharge area is located in a vestibule or foyer that meets all of the following criteria: The depth from the exterior of the building shall be not more than 10 ft (3050 mm), and the length shall be not more than 30 ft (9.1 m). The foyer shall be separated from the remainder of the level of discharge by fire barriers with a minimum 1-hour fire resistance rating, and existing installations of wired glass in steel frames shall be permitted to be continued in use.

Each level of discharge shall discharge directly outside at the finished ground level or discharge directly outside and provide access to the finished ground level by outside stairs or outside ramps. (5) The entire area on the level of discharge shall be separated from areas below by construction having a fire resistance rating not less than that required for the exit enclosure, unless otherwise provided in 7.7.2(6). (6) Levels below the level of discharge in an atrium shall be permitted to be open to the level of discharge where such level of discharge is protected in accordance with 8.6.7.

The MEA Committee needed to take an action to address the Correlating Committee's concern about the language that was accepted by FR 6557 regarding revisions to exit discharge through the building interior that may have been problematic, however, there was text proposed during the second draft meeting that addressed the Correlating Committee's concern. Unfortunately, it was rejected, hence, it's best that text return to the previous edition. However, the MEA Committee should revisit this issue again next cycle as there are alternative arrangements that provide equivalent, if not safer egress options to the current interior exit discharge provisions of 7.7.2.

Second Revision No. 6539-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 7.10.2 ]

7.10.2* Directional Signs.

A.7.10.2

Directional signage that has the capability to change the displayed information based on real-time conditions presents a series of tradeoffs. The potential benefit of a changing message sign would be to deter occupants from a direction of travel that might be blocked or otherwise unavailable due to adverse conditions such as fire, structural collapse, or other unsafe conditions that might warrant avoidance. However, the potential problems of such a “solution” include the reliability and likely partial level of the information available; the decision-making ability of the individual (if human) or algorithm (if machine) responsible for changing the sign’s message; the capacity and condition of the remaining egress paths; the training and habitual behavior of some building occupants who might not detect the change or might choose to ignore the sign’s information and thus create conflicting movement patterns; the increased probability of sign failure or malfunction due to its enhanced electronics; and the uncertainty for liability if the sign’s change of information leads to injuries or other adverse impacts that otherwise might have been avoided. Directional signs for egress are used at all times of building occupancy. Only a very small percentage of building evacuations would likely benefit from this sign information enhancement. It is also likely that an unavailable egress path will make itself known through other means (such as smoke or other occupants moving away from it), although this might not provide as much advance notice to some occupants approaching from a distance. The product standard for listing exit signs, UL 924, Emergency Lighting and Power Equipment, referenced by 7.10.7.1 , does not currently permit this feature; it requires (clause 41.7c) that a directional indicator be “…secured in a manner that cannot readily be changed.” This requirement deters changes to the building evacuation plan after approval by the authority having jurisdiction. A system that can change based on changing conditions modifies the role of the authority having jurisdiction by inserting a new intermediary responsible for providing occupant egress information.

7.10.2.1 A sign complying with 7.10.3, with a directional indicator showing the direction of travel, shall be placed in every location where the direction of travel to reach the nearest exit is not apparent. 7.10.2.2 Directional exit signs shall be provided within horizontal components of the egress path within exit enclosures as required by 7.10.1.2.2.

Committee Statement

Committee Technological advances in sensors, controls, and artificial intelligence algorithms are being designed Statement: into emergency lighting systems to allow them to adjust to changing building circumstances. But neither the Codes nor the product standards have regulations for evaluating the actual efficacy and reliability of these “solutions”. The situation is somewhat analogous to the use of GPS wayfinding systems for changing driving routes due to traffic congestion. But in this circumstance, the data set used for making decisions must be customized to the individual building (where are the sensors to be located and what conditions do they detect?) and the consequences for errors may be more severe than arriving late to an appointment. Some systems may involve humans in a central control area monitoring video cameras and making decisions, while other systems may be fully automated and utilize artificial intelligence algorithms to calculate optimized evacuation strategies. Both approaches, and any combination, has both potential benefits and pitfalls. This proposal for an Annex note is to Page 93 of 373

Committee Statement

Committee Some are interpreting 7.10.9.1 to inspect the illumination source of all exit signs every thirty days Statement: even when they are not battery operated or when they are externally illuminated. There is no reason to inspect an exit sign for the illumination source unless the exit sign is battery operated and that inspection for a battery operated exit sign is already required under 7.10.9.2. There are provisions in the code (4.6.12) that require building owners to fix/repair/replace the illumination source of exit signs when the required illumination source is broken, but there is no reason to require an owner to inventory 1000s of exit signs and inspect them for the illumination source every 30 days. This is an unnecessary burden especially since many facilities are using LED light sources for exit signs which last a very long time.

The American Society for Health Care Engineering did a study to determine the failure rate of exit signs. This study surveyed 86 health care facilities in regards to exit sign inspections over a one-year period with a specific request for the variations between LED and non-LED exit signs. Eighty-six respondents performed an average of 3,545 yearly LED exit sign inspections along with an average of 2,860 Non-LED exit sign inspections. With an average per year LED failure of 1.29 signs and Non- LED of 10 signs the study concluded that the failure rate of LED exit signs was 0.0004% (1.29/(3,545*86))and for non-LED exit signs the failure rate was 0.004% (10/(2860*86)).

This study indicates that the technological advancements of these devices using LED signs has reduced the failure rate of exit signs from 0.004% to 0.0004%. However, if 99.996% of all exit signs, even those that are not LED signs, pass this inspection, clearly a routine inspection is not warranted and this requirements should be deleted. Even if an exit sign illumination source is not working, there is a very good chance that an occupant will still be able to see the sign due to the illumination from the lighting that is required in the means of egress so having one or two nonworking signs will have almost no affect on the occupants of a building.

Note that battery operated exit signs will still be tested and inspected on a 30 day interval as required by 7.9.3, even if 7.10.9.1 is deleted.

Exit Sign Inspection & Burden Survey:

Pt 1: Quantitative Data: (n = 86)

Testing Cost Analysis. Eighty-six surveyed campuses reported a median of 154 (Mean = 310, SD = 397.42, Range 0 – 2,100) operational LED exit signs, and a median of 2 operational NON-LED exit

signs (Mean = 88.60, SD = 202.76; Range = 0 - 1200). These reports represent a significant skew, particularly with NON-LED exit signs, as approximately half of the respondents surveyed stated that their facility did not have any Non-LED signs. In addition, respondents reported a median of 1,782 LED light inspections (Mean = 3545.46, SD = 4710.66, Range = 0 – 25,200), and a median of 90 Non- LED exit light inspections across the year (Mean = 2859.60, SD = 11940.35, Range = 0 -80,808).

On average, staff spent a median of approximately 49 hours (Mean = 246.38, SD = 809.5, Range 0 - 6912 with extreme scores) per year conducting exit sign inspections. Furthermore, the individuals conducting these inspections were paid a median wage of $22 an hour (Mean = $27.07, SD = 23.99, Range $0 - $208 hourly rate); which translates to approximately $1326.43 in staffing costs per year.

All respondents conducted monthly exit sign inspections internally; none of them reported having costs related to an independent contractor. Furthermore, roughly three-quarters of the sample (73.3%) reported that they participated in a Zone or Maintenance program.

Testing & Failure Rate Comparisons. The median number of failures for the past year for LED exit signs was 0 (Mean = 1.29, SD = 3.219, Range = 0 – 20) and non-LED exit signs was 10 (average = 0, SD = 68.68, Range = 0 – 600). Alternatively explained, approximately 51% of Non-LED exit sign inspections had zero failures, and three quarters had less than 1 or 2 failures per year (for both Non- LED ad LED Exit signs). All of these analyses indicate an extremely low failure rate across the entire sample; especially when a couple extreme data points are removed from the analysis5.

Between Variable Relationships. Two-tailed bivariate correlations were conducted, yet no statistically significant relationships were found. Number of inspection failures was not related to number of exit signs tested for either type of exit sign. Number of exit sign inspections were also found not to be related to staffing hours or total staffing costs, or whether or not a facility participated in a Zoning Program. This findings may potentially illustrate that there may be external factors that play a much larger role in exit sign failures.

Pt 2 - Qualitative Data Analysis: (n = 40)

Forty respondents included open-ended comments in their Exit Sign Inspection surveys. Of these comments, 31 voiced concrete support for changing current monthly testing standards; and of these, 16 respondents even suggested specific time frames for testing; such as every two-months (n = 2), quarterly (n = 3), and semi-annually (n = 3). However, most individuals supported an annual testing time frame for exit signs (n = 7), or even biannual testing (n = 2). Conversely, only one respondent voiced support for current monthly inspection timeframes. Furthermore, several themes came through in the open-ended commentary: the explanation that separate and specific exit sign inspections were a waste of resources, no longer applicable with the newer, more advanced LED technologies, no longer applicable because signs are connected to emergency power. Some respondents also used the space to advocate for a more risk-based inspection approach. Comments of interest included: “Required monthly inspections are ridiculous. We instinctively react to any failed exit sign through years and years of security awareness,” “With the new LEDs it’s almost not necessary to test them. They are either working or are off if not working,” “…we did this 25 years ago when we had incandescent bulbs, the only failure we have now is when someone hits a light with a cart. NOT a good use of our resources,” “staffing levels will not be adjusted for the increase in work due to non- effective regulations. It would be more cost effective to force everyone to change their fixtures to LED,” “All but 15 of our signs are connected to E-power. The 15 are battery back-up in ORs and other mechanical spaces.” Response SR-6566-NFPA 101-2019 Message:

engineering principals can also be considered as appropriate for the structure based upon more severe design conditions.” The last words “based upon more severe design conditions” indicates that as part of this annex that if a real design conditions are found to be less severe that there is no alternative option. This also appears to suggest (i.e. appearance issue) that the AHJ has no say in the matter, even though Chapter 1 Administration does permit that ruling. Further, while this is annex material that is assumed to represent commentary designed to provide guidance we need to be cognizant of unintended consequences with the language. Engineers or consultants executing performance based design analysis should be free to exercise professional judgment on this subject. My compromise to the FIR would be to delete the language “based upon more severe design conditions” after the word “structure”.

Negative with Comment Larrimer, Peter A. The new 9.1.5 is new material and should not be accepted at this stage. Even though there was a committee input on this topic, NFPA 855 was not published, and in my opinion, it was inappropriate to put a placeholder in at the Public Input stage to accept a document that was not yet published for review by the public. This should wait at least one cycle so that controversial issues in NFPA 855 can be addressed.

Second Revision No. 6549-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 9.6.2.10.3.1 ]

9.6.2.10.3.1 In new construction, where required by Chapters 11 through 43, the alarm notification signal in sleeping rooms resulting from activation of smoke alarms shall be a 520 Hz low-frequency signal complying with NFPA 72. The effective date for compliance with 9.6.2.10.3.1 shall be January 1, 2023.

Submitter Information Verification

Committee: SAF-BSF Submittal Date: Thu Jun 13 09:46:30 EDT 2019

Committee Statement

Committee The the future effectivity date for smoke alarms to produce a 520 Hz low-frequency signal was Statement: deleted for the following reasons.

1. The NFPA 101 Residential Committee unanimously approved FR 6886 and FR 6892 (to require smoke alarms that are installed in sleeping rooms to produce the 520 Hz low-frequency audible alarm signal) without a future effectivity date

2. The 2021 edition of the International Fire Code will require smoke alarms that are installed in sleeping rooms of new hotels, dormitories and apartment buildings to produce the 520 Hz low- frequency audible alarm signal

3. It is beneficial to have consistent requirements between the various model codes

4. The following product solutions are currently available in the market if the smoke alarm is unable to produce the 520 Hz low-frequency audible alarm signal in sleeping rooms:

a) Smoke detectors with integral sounder bases

b) Fire alarm system horns and horn/strobes

c) Speakers connected to an in-building fire alarm Emergency Voice Alarm Communication (EVAC) system

Any further delay in implementing a technology that is proven to enhance public life safety needs to be avoided. That’s because peer-reviewed research has concluded the wakening effectiveness of the 520 Hz low-frequency signal is superior to standard 3 KHz audible alarm signal for awakening high-risk segments of the population such as such as people over 65, people who are hard of hearing, school age children and people who are alcohol impaired. In addition, there are currently smoke alarm products available that claim to meet the 520 Hz frequency requirement.

Negative with Comment Larrimer, Peter A. NFPA 72, 29.5.10.1 already requires those rooms that are required to be accessible for those with mild to severe hearing loss as identified in NFPA 72 to be provided with the low frequency smoke alarms. Since NFPA 101 references NFPA 72 for the installation of smoke alarms, the low frequency alarms are already going to be required in those rooms that are to be accessible by ADA or similar law. However, this change appears to establish a requirement for all smoke alarms provided in any sleeping room to be designed for those with mild to severe hearing loss as identified in NFPA 72. It doesn’t appear that adequate justification has been provided to mandate this in NFPA 101. If this is such a good idea, why not mandate the installation low frequency alarms in all sleeping rooms in NFPA 72 so there is no apparent conflict. While enhanced audible characteristics in smoke alarms in every sleeping room of every occupancy might be beneficial for some people, the increase in safety versus the increase in costs, has not been established, especially when one considers that NFPA 101 generally requires sprinkler protection in new construction to protect sleeping occupants in the occupancy chapters.

Second Revision No. 6626-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 12.4.9 ]

12.4.9* Special Amusement Buildings.

A.12.4.9

Special amusement buildings are unique structures that can present challenges not common in assembly or other occupancies. Hazards in special amusement buildings can include industrial, electrical, pneumatic, stored energy systems, or other systems and equipment associated with the ride and/or show systems. Occupants are typically not familiar with their surroundings, and the provided exit access might not be apparent while the building is operating in show conditions. Additionally, special amusement buildings might present design challenges, which the authority having jurisdiction might need to consider. For example, a ride building containing a roller coaster might meet the height requirements for a high-rise structure but only contain one story of height and mezzanines or catwalks at upper levels for evacuation. Portions of a ride might exit and return into the building, traverse to an open structure, be surrounded by water, or contain an atrium. Each of these conditions presents challenges to the design of fire protection, fire alarm, and life safety systems, as well as the emergency action plan required in 12.7.1.3 12.7.13 . Where a special amusement building is installed inside another building on a temporary basis, such as within an exhibit hall, the special amusement building requirements apply only to the portions of the building used as a special amusement. For example, the smoke detectors required by 12.4.9.4.3 are not required to be connected to the building’s fire alarm system. Where installed in an exhibit hall, such smoke detectors are also required to comply with the provisions applicable to an exhibit.

12.4.9.1 General. 12.4.9.1.1* Special amusement buildings, regardless of occupant load, shall meet the requirements for assembly occupancies in addition to the requirements of 12.4.9, unless the special amusement building is a multilevel play structure that is not more than 10 ft (3050 mm) in height and has aggregate horizontal projections not exceeding 160 ft2 (15 m2).

A.12.4.9.1.1

The aggregate horizontal projections of a multilevel play structure are indicative of the number of children who might be within the structure and at risk from a fire or similar emergency. The word “aggregate” is used in recognition of the fact that the platforms and tubes that make up the multilevel play structure run above each other at various levels. In calculating the area of the projections, it is important to account for all areas that might be expected to be occupied within, on top of, or beneath the components of the structure when the structure is used for its intended function.

12.4.9.1.2* Special amusement buildings shall be subclassified as follows: (1) Class A: Permanently installed special amusement buildings that include an amusement ride or device in which patrons are contained or restrained and are unable to evacuate without the assistance of the ride operator (2) Class B: Permanently installed special amusement buildings that do not include an amusement ride or device, or that include an amusement ride or device from which patrons are able to self- evacuate (3) Class C: Temporary or mobile special amusement buildings

A.12.4.9.1.2

An example of a Class A special amusement building would be a theme park attraction or dark ride where patrons are restrained inside a ride vehicle and guided through a building on a track. An example of a Class B special amusement building would be an escape room or theme park attraction where a patron can exit the building once the amusement or effects are stopped. Temporary rides such as a merry-go-round or train located in a mall would not meet the definition of a Class B special amusement building unless there was an element to the ride where a patron would become confused or is otherwise confined to the ride vehicle and unable to self-evacuate. See A.3.3.37.9 . An example of a Class C special amusement building would be a temporary haunted house, maze, or carnival attraction.

12.4.9.2 Means of Egress. 12.4.9.2.1 Exit Marking. 12.4.9.2.1.1 Exit marking shall be in accordance with Section 7.10. 12.4.9.2.1.2 Floor proximity exit signs shall be provided in accordance with 7.10.1.6. 12.4.9.2.1.3* In special amusement buildings where mazes, mirrors, or other designs are used to confound the egress path, approved directional exit marking that becomes apparent in an emergency shall be provided.

A.12.4.9.2.1.3

Consideration should be given to the provision of directional exit marking on or adjacent to the floor.

12.4.9.2.2 Illumination. 12.4.9.2.2.1* Actuation Unless otherwise permitted by 12.4.9.2.2.2 , actuation of the automatic sprinkler system, or any other suppression system, or actuation of a smoke detection system having an approved verification or cross-zoning operation capability shall provide for both of the following: (1) Increase in illumination in the means of egress to that required by Section 7.8 (2) Termination of any conflicting or confusing sounds and visuals

Page 142 of 373

136 of 367 10/21/2019, 3:45 PM National Fire Protection Association Report https://submittals.nfpa.org/TerraViewWeb/ContentFetcher?commentPar...

A.12.4.9.2.2.1

Lighting levels within special amusement buildings are typically might be reduced to levels that are lower than those required by Section 7.8 for show purposes. In addition, projections, special effects, haze, and other theatrical elements might be combined, which can disorient occupants who are unfamiliar with the egress route. The activation of the automatic sprinkler system or smoke detection system must should immediately increase illumination to the required levels and stop all show elements that would continue to disorient or confuse occupants. Because of the delay in verification or cross-zoning of smoke detectors, positive alarm sequence should not be utilized when alarm-verification or cross-zoned smoke detectors is selected. In the context of a special amusement building, a conflicting or confusing sound or visual is any audio or visual device that is intended to quickly distract the attention the patron of a special amusement building for the purpose of frightening, confounding, disorienting, or otherwise capturing the attention of the patron. Examples of this include strobing and flashing lights, loud sound effects, scare or jump effects, loud music, animated figures, projected animation, and interactive games. These can all interfere with the fire alarm notification devices and live announcements from the attraction operator for the patron’s attention. In addition, effects that simulate the sound, sight, and smell of flames or smoke will confuse the patron if they continue to operate when the fire alarm system has been activated. Some examples of audio and visuals that might occur in a special amusement building, but that might not constitute a conflicting sound or visual, include static or very slow-moving video or projected images, background music, steady state lighting, and ride vehicle triggered effects.

12.4.9.2.2.2* Class A special amusement buildings shall not be required to comply with 12.4.9.2.2.1 where all of the following conditions apply: (1) The emergency action plan required by 12.4.9.6.2 provides specific evacuation instructions to all attraction operators for cycling out the attraction when it is determined that meeting the requirements of 12.4.9.2.2.1 presents a hazard to ride patrons. (2) A means of manually complying with 12.4.9.2.2.1 is provided to the primary attraction operator. (3) Attraction operators are trained on the alternative procedures for evacuations. (4) The authority having jurisdiction approves the modifications.

A.12.4.9.2.2.2

Amusement rides and devices that contain or restrain their patrons such that they are unable to evacuate without the assistance of a ride operator present a unique challenge during an emergency. ASTM F2291, Standard Practice for Design of Amusement Rides or Devices, provides for the design of evacuation paths in case the ride stops before completing its full cycle. The safest and fastest way to exit patrons during an emergency might be to “cycle out” by continuing ride operation until all patrons have exited the ride at the normal exit point (at the unload platform). If a patron were to attempt to exit the ride vehicle while the ride continues operation during an emergency, the patron may potentially be struck by the ride vehicle, or the ride’s safety systems might stop all ride motion, potentially extending the evacuation period. Because increasing the illumination of the means of egress along the ride and terminating any conflicting or confusing sounds or visuals while the ride is cycling out might entice the patrons to attempt to self-evacuate while the ride is in motion, the authority having jurisdiction and the owner are encouraged to work closely to develop a plan that implements the safest and most efficient method to exit the patrons from the ride, which might include continuing normal show operation during cycle out. In addition, the plan should assure that all ride operators and emergency responders understand their roles during cycle out, or during an evacuation if the ride cycle out is interrupted. The ride owner should work with the authority having jurisdiction from an early stage to develop a pre- incident plan in accordance with NFPA 1620 and any required or applicable provisions of 12.4.2.5.2 .

12.4.9.4.1.1 Class A and Class B special amusement buildings shall be provided with an approved fire alarm system and smoke detection system in accordance with 9.6.1 and 12.4.9.4 . 12.4.9.4.1.2 Class C special amusement buildings shall be provided with an approved automatic smoke detection system in accordance with Section 9.6 . 12.4.9.4.2* Alarm Initiation. Actuation of any smoke detection system device shall sound an alarm at a constantly attended location on the premises.

A.12.4.9.4.2

Special amusement attractions might contain an operator console or “tower,” which might also serve as a constantly attended location when the ride is operating.

12.4.9.4.2.1 In Class A and Class B special amusement buildings, the required fire alarm system shall be initiated by each of the following: (1) Manual fire alarm box located at a constantly attended location under continuous supervision by competent persons when the special amusement building is open to patrons (2) Required automatic sprinkler system (3) Required automatic detection systems 12.4.9.4.2.2 In Class C special amusement buildings, actuation of any smoke detection system device shall activate an audible and visible alarm in a constantly attended receiving station within the building when occupied for purposes of initiating emergency action. 12.4.9.4.3 Smoke Detection. Where the nature of the special amusement building is such that it operates in reduced lighting levels, the building shall be protected throughout by an approved automatic smoke detection system in accordance with Section 9.6. 12.4.9.4.4* Notification.

A.12.4.9.4.4

Notification in special amusement buildings should be considered carefully depending on the operation of the special amusement. Voice announcements are the required method. However, automatically transmitted evacuation instructions might not be appropriate in some rides when occupants are confined to a ride vehicle and unable to self-evacuate. In order to avoid confusion, manual voice announcements from the ride operator might be preferable to pre-recorded evacuation instructions for some rides.

12.4.9.4.4.1 Occupant notification for Class A and Class B special amusement buildings shall be in accordance with 12.3.4.3 . 12.4.9.4.4.2 Occupant notification for Class C special amusement buildings shall be in accordance with 12.3.4.3 ; however, positive alarm sequence shall not be permitted. 12.4.9.4.4.3* An automatic means for sounding the general evacuation alarm shall be provided when the constantly attended location is not staffed.

A.12.4.9.4.4.3

Special amusement buildings that contain rides tend be occupied after operating hours by maintenance staff. After-hours maintenance work might take place along the ride track or in an attached maintenance bay where ride vehicles are moved on and off spur tracks. When no ride operator is located at the constantly attended location to receive alarm signals, a means of automatically sounding the general evacuation signal should be provided for after-hours occupants.

12.4.9.5 Automatic Sprinklers Extinguishment Requirements . 12.4.9.5.1* Every special amusement building, other than buildings or structures not exceeding 10 ft (3050 mm) in height and not exceeding 160 ft2 (15 m2) in aggregate horizontal projection, shall be protected throughout by an approved, supervised automatic sprinkler system installed and maintained in accordance with Section 9.7.

A.12.4.9.5.1

See A.12.4.9.1 A.12.4.9.1.1.

12.4.9.5.2 Temporary Water Supply. Where the special amusement building required to be sprinklered by 12.4.9.5 12.4.9.5.1 is movable or portable, the sprinkler water supply shall be permitted to be provided by an approved temporary means. 12.4.9.6 Operating Features. 12.4.9.6.1* Furnishings, Decorations, and Scenery. Furnishings shall be in accordance with 12.7.4 .

A.12.4.9.6.1

Special amusement buildings might simulate different structures, such as an outdoor scene where false walls and ceilings, commonly known as sets, are recreated indoors with various fabrics and materials used to simulate trees, leaves, or other items. Sets in special amusement buildings are often designed by entertainment companies familiar with Broadway-style stage productions. However, unlike stages and theaters, there are no requirements for smoke control or proscenium protection. The authority having jurisdiction should consider and evaluate the total quantity of material introduced into the space.

12.4.9.6.2* Emergency Action Plan. In Class A special amusement buildings, the emergency action plan shall be reviewed and approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

A.12.4.9.6.2

The evacuation plan for special amusement buildings should consider the safest and fastest way to remove occupants from the structure. When a ride stops within the special amusement building, removing occupants from the ride system might present an extended evacuation. Additionally, hazards associated with the ride and show system might present electrical and entanglement challenges to occupants unfamiliar with the building. Evacuation of special amusement buildings can also pose challenges to the local fire department if they are not familiar with the nature of the building or ride system. Specialized equipment for rescue, ride vehicle-specific tools for releasing doors, and high- energy ride vehicle hazard awareness might all be required when evacuating from a location other than a load/unload station. The ride owner should work with the authority having jurisdiction from an early stage to develop a pre- incident plan in accordance with NFPA 1620 and any required or applicable provisions of 12.4.2.5.2 .

Second Revision No. 6628-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 13.4.9 ]

13.4.9* Special Amusement Buildings.

A.13.4.9

Special amusement buildings are unique structures that can present challenges not common in assembly or other occupancies. Hazards in special amusement buildings can include industrial, electrical, pneumatic, stored energy systems, or other systems and equipment associated with the ride and/or show systems. Occupants are typically not familiar with their surroundings, and the provided exit access might not be apparent while the building is operating in show conditions. Additionally, special amusement buildings might present design challenges, which the authority having jurisdiction might need to consider. For example, a ride building containing a roller coaster might meet the height requirements for a high-rise structure but only contain one story of height and mezzanines or catwalks at upper levels for evacuation. Portions of a ride might exit and return into the building, traverse to an open structure, be surrounded by water, or contain an atrium. Each of these conditions presents challenges to the design of fire protection, fire alarm, and life safety systems, as well as the emergency action plan required in 13.7.13. Where a special amusement building on a temporary basis is installed inside another building on a temporary basis , such as within an exhibit hall, the special amusement building requirements apply only to the portions of the building used as a special amusement. For example, the smoke detectors required by 13.4.9.4.3 are not required to be connected to the building’s fire alarm system. Where installed in an exhibit hall, such smoke detectors are also required to comply with the provisions applicable to an exhibit.

13.4.9.1 General. 13.4.9.1.1* Special amusement buildings, regardless of occupant load, shall meet the requirements for assembly occupancies in addition to the requirements of 13.4.9, unless the special amusement building is a multilevel play structure that is not more than 10 ft (3050 mm) in height and has aggregate horizontal projections not exceeding 160 ft2 (15 m2).

A.13.4.9.1.1

13.4.9.1.2* Special amusement buildings shall be subclassified as follows: (1) Class A: Permanently installed special amusement buildings that include an amusement ride or device in which patrons are contained or restrained and are unable to evacuate without the assistance of the ride operator (2) Class B: Permanently installed special amusement buildings that do not include an amusement ride or device, or that include an amusement ride or device from which patrons are able to self- evacuate (3) Class C: Temporary or mobile special amusement buildings

A.13.4.9.2.2.1

Lighting levels within special amusement buildings are typically might be reduced to levels that are lower than those required by Section 7.8 for show purposes. In addition, projections, special effects, haze, and other theatrical elements might be combined, which can disorient occupants who are unfamiliar with the egress route. The activation of the automatic sprinkler system or smoke detection system must should immediately increase illumination to the required levels and stop all show elements that would continue to disorient or confuse occupants. Because of the delay in verification or cross-zoning of smoke detectors, positive alarm sequence should not be utilized when alarm-verification or cross-zoned smoke detectors is selected. In the context of a special amusement building, a conflicting or confusing sound or visual is any audio or visual device that is intended to quickly distract the attention the patron of a special amusement building for the purpose of frightening, confounding, disorienting, or otherwise capturing the attention of the patron. Examples of this include strobing and flashing lights, loud sound effects, scare or jump effects, loud music, animated figures, projected animation, and interactive games. These can all interfere with the fire alarm notification devices and live announcements from the attraction operator for the patron’s attention. In addition, effects that simulate the sound, sight and smell of flames or smoke will confuse the patron if they continue to operate when the fire alarm system has been activated. Some examples of audio and visuals that might occur in a special amusement building, but that might not constitute a conflicting sound or visual, include static or very slow-moving video or projected images, background music, steady state lighting, and ride vehicle triggered effects.

13.4.9.2.2.2* Class A special amusement buildings shall not be required to comply with 13.4.9.2.2.1 where all of the following conditions apply: (1) The emergency action plan required by 13.4.9.6.2 provides specific evacuation instructions to all attraction operators for cycling out the attraction when it is determined that meeting the requirements of 13.4.9.2.2.1 presents a hazard to ride patrons. (2) A means of manually complying with 13.4.9.2.2.1 is provided to the primary attraction operator. (3) Attraction operators are trained on the alternative procedures for evacuations. (4) The authority having jurisdiction approves the modifications.

A.13.4.9.2.2.2

Amusement rides and devices that contain or restrain their patrons such that they are unable to evacuate without the assistance of a ride operator present a unique challenge during an emergency. While ASTM F2291, Standard Practice for Design of Amusement Rides or Devices, provides for the design of evacuation paths in case the ride stops before completing its full cycle. The safest and fastest way to exit patrons during an emergency might be to “cycle out” by continuing ride operation until all patrons have exited the ride at the normal exit point (at the unload platform). If a patron were to attempt to exit the ride vehicle while the ride continues operation during an emergency, the patron may potentially be struck by the ride vehicle, or the ride’s safety systems might stop all ride motion, potentially extending the evacuation period. Because increasing the illumination of the means of egress along the ride and terminating any conflicting or confusing sounds or visuals while the ride is cycling out might entice the patrons to attempt to self-evacuate while the ride is in motion, the authority having jurisdiction and the owner are encouraged to work closely to develop a plan that implements the safest and most efficient method to exit the patrons from the ride, which might include continuing normal show operation during cycle out. In addition, the plan should assure that all ride operators and emergency responders understand their roles during cycle out, or during an evacuation if the ride cycle out is interrupted. The ride owner should work with the authority having jurisdiction from an early stage to develop a pre- incident plan in accordance with NFPA 1620 and any required or applicable provisions of 13.4.2.5.2 .

15.2.2.2.4.1 Classroom doors and doors to other instructional spaces shall be permitted to be locked provided that the locking means is approved and all of the following conditions are met: (1) The locking means shall be capable of being engaged from the egress side of the door without opening the door. (2) The unlocking and unlatching from the egress side of the door shall be accomplished without the use of a key, tool, or special knowledge or effort. (3)* Two nonsimultaneous releasing operations motions shall be permitted where approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

A.15.2.2.2.4.1(3)

The installation of new hardware that necessitates two nonsimultaneous releasing motions on existing doors in existing educational occupancies in accordance with 15.2.2.2.4.1 (3) is permitted where such installation is necessary for compliance with the door locking criteria in 15.2.2.2.4.1 . In accordance with 43.1.4.5 , rehabilitation work performed for compliance with the Code’s existing occupancy requirements is exempt from Chapter 43 and the installation of such new equipment is not subject to Section 43.5 , which would require compliance with the new occupancy provisions. Where a new door is installed in an existing educational occupancy, the requirements of 14.2.2.2.4 apply.

(4) The releasing mechanism for unlocking and unlatching shall be located at a height not less than 34 in. (865 mm) and not exceeding 48 in. (1220 mm) above the finished floor. (5) Locks, if remotely engaged, shall be unlockable from the egress side of the door without the use of a key, tool, or special knowledge or effort.

Committee Statement

Committee It is the intent of 15.2.2.2.4.1(3) to permit the installation of new equipment that requires two Statement: releasing motions on existing doors to meet the locking provisions of 15.2.2.2.4.1. It was unclear whether the installation of new equipment would invoke the requirements of Section 43.5 for modifications, which would send the user to Chapter 14 for new educational occupancies, limiting the arrangement to one releasing operation. Chapter 43 is clear in 43.1.4.5 that work performed for compliance with the existing occupancy requirements is exempt from its requirements. The proposed annex note clarifies the intent.

Negative with Comment Hansen, Raymond N. This change has previously been rejected by the membership body. The argument was made in the TC that this would provide a way to easily add a locking feature inside the room to doors that now only lock from outside the room. However, 15.2.2.2.4.1(6) requires that such a lock be operable from outside the room. The easiest option for schools is to just change out the existing door knob/lock-set to one having a locking feature operable from both inside and outside of the room. The surface-mounted deadbolt envisioned by some members of the TC would be prohibited because it would not be operable from outside the room. This proposed change is likely to create confusion and non-compliance by building owners/users. Roeper, Kurt A. The annex note does not appear to be properly worded. "where such installation is necessary for compliance" is not appropriate language as 15.2.2.2.4.1 is 'shall be permitted'. The text "where such installation is necessary for compliance" should be struck and the sentence restructured.

Second Revision No. 6657-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 18.3.6.3.7 ]

18.3.6.3.7 Powered doors that comply with the requirements of 7.2.1.9 shall not be required to meet the latching requirements of 18.3.6.3.5, provided that all of the following criteria are met: (1) The door is equipped with a means for keeping the door closed that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. (2) The device used is capable of keeping the door fully closed if a force of 5 lbf (22 N) is applied at the latch edge of a swinging door and applied in any direction to a sliding or folding door, whether or not power is applied. (3) The power-assist mechanism ceases Where door leaves are operated by power by any automatic mechanism, the automatic opening of the doors shall cease to function upon operation of approved smoke detectors installed in accordance with the provisions of NFPA 72 for door release service .

Submitter Information Verification

Committee: SAF-HEA Submittal Date: Mon Jul 22 11:18:30 EDT 2019

Committee Statement

Committee Section 7.2.1.9 has two options: (1) Doors operated by power by any automatic mechanism and (2) Statement: power assisted manual operation.

7.2.1.9.1* General. Where means of egress door leaves are operated by power by any automatic mechanism or are provided with power-assisted manual operation, the design shall be such that, in the event of power failure, the leaves open manually to allow egress travel or close when necessary to safeguard the means of egress.

This change would not allow doors to automatically open, but it would allow power assisted door to be used without mandating smoke detection to shut down that operation. From BHMA A156.19 Definition of a Power Assist Door: "A door with a power mechanism that activates by pushing or pulling the door, reducing the opening resistance of a self-closing door to allow easier manual opening of the door. If the opening force on the door is released, the door shall come to a stop and either immediately begin to close, or begin to close after a predetermined time."

The time to close is limited to a few seconds in BHMA A156.19. There is no reason to make that function cease. The only function that should cease is when the door automatically opens upon approach of a person (or smoke) and the text has been changed to reflect that.

The new text clarifies that smoke detectors are to be installed in accordance with the specific provision in NFPA 72 for door release service.

Second Revision No. 6661-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 18.7.5.7 ]

18.7.5.7 Soiled Linen and Trash Receptacles. 18.7.5.7.1* Soiled linen or trash collection receptacles shall not exceed 64 gal (242 L) in capacity and shall meet all of the following requirements: with capacities greater than 64 gal (242 L) shall be located in a hazardous area when not attended.

A.18.7.5.7.1

It is not the intent to permit collection receptacles with a capacity greater than 32 64 gal (121 242 L) to be positioned at or near a nurses’ station based on the argument that such nurses’ station is constantly attended. The large collection receptacle itself needs to be actively attended by staff. Staff might leave the large receptacle in the corridor outside a patient room while entering the room to collect soiled linen or trash, but staff is expected to return to the receptacle, move on to the next room, and repeat the collection function. Where staff is not actively collecting material for placement in the receptacle, the receptacle is to be moved to a room protected as a hazardous area.

18.7.5.7.2* Containers greater than 64 gal (242 L) used solely for recycling clean waste or for patient records awaiting destruction shall be permitted to be excluded from the requirements of 18.7.5.7.1 where all the following conditions are met: (1) Each container shall be limited to a maximum capacity of 96 gal (363 L)., except as permitted by 18.7.5.7.2(2) or (3). * Containers with capacities greater than 96 gal (363 L) shall be located in a room protected as a hazardous area when not attended.

A.18.7.5.7.2(2)

See 18.7.5.7.1(3) .

Container size shall not be limited in hazardous areas. (2) Containers for combustibles shall be labeled and listed as meeting the requirements of FM Approval 6921, Approval Standard for Containers for Combustible Waste; however, such testing, listing, and labeling shall not be limited to FM Approvals.

A.18.7.5.7.2

It is the intent that this provision permits recycling of bottles, cans, paper, and similar clean items that do not contain grease, oil, flammable liquids, or significant plastic materials using larger containers or several adjacent containers and not require locating such containers in a room protected as a hazardous area. Containers for medical records awaiting shredding are often larger than 32 64 gal (121 242 L). These containers are not to be included in the calculations and limitations of 18.7.5.7.1. There is no limit on the number of these containers, as FM Approval 6921, Approval Standard for Containers for Combustible Waste, ensures that the fire will not spread outside of the container. FM approval standards are written for use with FM Approvals. The tests can be conducted by any approved laboratory. The portions of the standard referring to FM Approvals are not included in this reference.

18.7.5.7.3 The provisions of 10.3.8, applicable to containers for waste or linen, shall not apply.

2. Unable to locate any patient recycling containers meeting FM Approval Standard 6921 which also comply with HIPPA for patient privacy by providing a securable container. This limits container size to 32 gallons for patient records.

3. A kitchen located in a health care occupancy is not permitted to be provided with a standard size trash can of 50 gallons.

4. NFPA Research Report Structure Fires in Health Care Facilities 2011 – 2015 indicates that trash/rubbish/waste is not a major contributor to injuries related to a fire event. There was no documented instances of fires spreading from one trash can to another. A summary of the data in the report is below:

Number of Fires Number of Injuries Number of Deaths

Hospitals 320 3 0

Nursing Homes 120 1 0

Hospitals and Hospices 100 1 0

Mental Health Facilities 50 0 0

Clinics and Dr. Offices 50 0 0

a. The NFPA report did not distinguish between trash/rubbish/waste container located outside vs. inside.

5. Modifying the 32 gallon limitation to 64 gallons would make the requirement consistent with the threshold for a room storing soiled linen or trash to be considered a hazardous area is 64 gallons in the Protections for Hazards section.

Negative with Comment Bush, Kenneth E. The revised wording for 18.7.5.7.2 would permit containers of 64 gal or less capacity used solely for recycling clean waste or for patient records awaiting destruction to be used without restriction. This is a significant change from the existing Code text that has not been provided with sufficient technical justification. Koffel, William E. I remain concerned that this relaxation is too significant without a density restriction. Other than not normally expected in a health care occupancy, what would prevent one from located several large containers (but less than 64 gal) in a room and in close proximity to each other?

Second Revision No. 6607-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 18.7.9.3 ]

18.7.9.3 For repair, renovation, rehabilitation activities or preparation for construction rehabilitation activities of a duration not greater than 30 days that do not cause the classification of the construction area as a hazardous area as identified in 18.3.2, fire-retardant flame-resistant plastic in accordance with NFPA 701, or equivalent, shall be permitted to be used to separate the construction area from the other spaces. provided that both the construction area and the adjacent occupied spaces are protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system.

Submitter Information Verification

Committee: SAF-HEA Submittal Date: Wed Jul 10 17:18:20 EDT 2019

Committee Statement

Committee This option has already been allowed (at least by The Joint Commission Jan/Feb 1999 EC News) Statement: even when the space is not sprinkler protected and new text will require sprinklers in a space that was previously not required to be sprinkler protected. Some minor repair/renovation operations that would not be considered to constitute a hazardous area could be separated by fire retardant plastic and those repair/renovation operations might include the removal of the ceiling, which would then render the sprinkler system inoperative. If that is the case, this new text would not allow the plastic.

If this change is not made, the entire paragraph should be deleted as the requirement will inadvertently be more stringent than what is presently permitted by some AHJs.

Coordination of terminology with Chapter 43. Recognition that new construction might occur in nonsprinklered areas per 18.4.4.

Negative with Comment Bush, Kenneth E. Even though required to be constructed of flame resistant plastic, the use of plastic sheets as separations between areas which may not be provided with automatic sprinkler protection establishes an unsafe level of protection without sufficient technical justification. Plastic sheets offer little protection against fire or heat especially that which may be generated in areas that do not comply with applicable requirements. Knippa, Kevin When a portion of a building does not conform with the requirements for the occupancy, it must be separated by a fire barrier having at least a one hour fire resistance. How does plastic, combustible or not, provide protection equal to a two-hour fire barrier? Under NFPA 13, a facility could conduct a fire watch in lieu of having a working fire sprinkler system. Victor, Terry L. The committee statement that the “… new text will require sprinklers in a space that was previously not required to be sprinkler protected” could be true in some cases if misinterpreted and/or misapplied. However, an additional requirement or annex text should have been included that explains when sprinklers do exist, protection shall be maintained on both sides of the flame-resistant plastic. The construction area may be the only means of egress in some instances so sprinkler protection is critical. Without additional guidance in NFPA 101, it will be up to the AHJ to enforce requirements in other NFPA documents such as NFPA 25 and NFPA 241 to maintain sprinkler protection during construction.

The revised wording for 19.7.5.7.2 would permit containers of 64 gal or less capacity used solely for recycling clean waste or for patient records awaiting destruction to be used without restriction. This is a significant change from the existing Code text that has not been provided with sufficient technical justification. Koffel, William E. I remain concerned that this relaxation is too significant without a density restriction.

Negative with Comment Bush, Kenneth E. Even though required to be constructed of flame resistant plastic, the use of plastic sheets as separations between areas which may not be provided with automatic sprinkler protection establishes an unsafe level of protection without sufficient technical justification. Plastic sheets offer little protection against fire or heat especially that which may be generated in areas that do not comply with applicable requirements. Knippa, Kevin When a portion of a building does not conform with the requirements for the occupancy, it must be separated by a fire barrier having at least a one hour fire resistance. How does plastic, combustible or not, provide protection equal to a two-hour fire barrier? Under NFPA 13, a facility could conduct a fire watch in lieu of having a working fire sprinkler system. Victor, Terry L. An additional requirement or annex text should have been included that explains when sprinklers do exist, protection shall be maintained on both sides of the flame-resistant plastic. The construction area may be the only means of egress in some instances so sprinkler protection is critical. Without additional guidance in NFPA 101, it will be up to the AHJ to enforce requirements in other NFPA documents such as NFPA 25 and NFPA 241 to maintain sprinkler protection during construction.

Second Revision No. 6683-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 21.7.5.5 ]

21.7.5.5 Soiled Linen and Trash Receptacles. 21.7.5.5.1 Soiled linen or trash collection receptacles shall not exceed 64 gal (242 L) in capacity, and all of the following also shall apply: with capacities greater than 64 gal (242 L) shall be located in a hazardous area when not attended.

The average density of container capacity in a room or space shall not exceed 1.0 gal/ft 2 (40.7 L/m 2 ). Mobile soiled linen or trash collection receptacles with capacities greater than 64 gal (242 L) shall be located in a room protected as a hazardous area when not attended. Container size and density shall not be limited in hazardous areas. 21.7.5.5.2* Containers greater than 64 gal (242 L) used solely for recycling clean waste or for patient records awaiting destruction shall be permitted to be excluded from the requirements of 21.7.5.5.1 where all the following conditions are met: (1) Each container shall be limited to a maximum capacity of 96 gal (363 L). , except as permitted by 21.7.5.5.2(2) or 21.7.5.5.2(2) . * Containers with capacities greater than 96 gal (363 L) shall be located in a room protected as a hazardous area when not attended.

A.21.7.5.5.2(2)

See 21.7.5.5.1(3) .

A.21.7.5.5.2

It is the intent that this provision permits recycling of bottles, cans, paper, and similar clean items that do not contain grease, oil, flammable liquids, or significant plastic materials using larger containers or several adjacent containers and not require locating such containers in a room protected as a hazardous area. Containers for medical records awaiting shredding are often larger than 32 64 gal (121 242 L). These containers are not to be included in the calculations and limitations of 21.7.5.5.1. There is no limit on the number of these containers, as FM Approval 6921, Approval Standard for Containers for Combustible Waste, ensures that the fire will not spread outside of the container. FM approval standards are written for use with FM Approvals. The tests can be conducted by any approved laboratory. The portions of the standard referring to FM Approvals are not included in this reference.

21.7.5.5.3 The provisions of 10.3.8, applicable to containers for waste or linen, shall not apply.

Negative with Comment Bush, Kenneth E. The revised wording for 21.7.5.5.2 would permit containers of 64 gal or less capacity used solely for recycling clean waste or for patient records awaiting destruction to be used without restriction. This is a significant change from the existing Code text that has not been provided with sufficient technical justification. Koffel, William E. I remain concerned that this relaxation is too significant without a density restriction. Other than not normally expected in an ambulatory health care occupancy, what would prevent one from located several large containers (but less than 64 gal) in a room and in close proximity to each other?

Second Revision No. 6629-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 28.3.4.3.2 ]

28.3.4.3.2* In hotels and dormitories that are required by 28.3.4 to have a fire alarm system, the audible alarm notification signal provided in sleeping rooms of guest rooms or guest suites that is activated by the fire alarm system shall be a 520 Hz low-frequency signal in accordance with 9.6.2.10.3.

A.28.3.4.3.2

The standard audible alarm signal used in all fire alarm horns and integral sounders of smoke detectors for the past 30 years utilized a typical frequency of approximately 3 KHz. Peer‐reviewed research has concluded the waking effectiveness of a 520 Hz low-frequency signal is superior to the standard 3 KHz audible alarm signal for waking high‐risk segments of the population such as people over 65, people who are hard of hearing, school‐age children, and people who are alcohol‐impaired. Therefore, the 520 Hz low‐frequency audible alarm signal is now required in areas intended for sleeping within hotels and dormitories that are required to have a fire alarm system. The following product solutions are currently available in the market to produce the 520 Hz low‐frequency audible alarm signal in sleeping rooms: (1) Smoke detectors with integral sounder bases (2) Fire alarm system horns and horn/strobes (3) Speakers connected to an in‐building fire alarm emergency voice alarm communication (EVAC) system The peer-reviewed research project — Optimizing Fire Alarm Notification for High Risk Groups: Waking Effectiveness of Alarms (Auditory, Visual and Tactile) for Adults Who Are Hard of Hearing and Waking Effectiveness of Alarms (Auditory, Visual and Tactile) for the Alcohol Impaired — was conducted under the auspices of the Fire Protection Research Foundation.

Second Revision No. 6630-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 28.3.4.6.1 ]

28.3.4.6.1* In hotels and dormitories that are required by 28.3.4 to have a fire alarm system, the audible alarm notification signal provided in sleeping rooms of guest rooms or guest suites that is activated by smoke alarms shall be a 520 Hz low-frequency signal in accordance with 9.6.2.10.3.

A.28.3.4.6.1

The standard audible alarm signal used in all smoke alarms for the past 30 years utilized a typical frequency of approximately 3 KHz. Peer-reviewed research has concluded the waking effectiveness of the 520 Hz low-frequency signal is superior to the standard 3 KHz audible alarm signal for waking high-risk segments of the population such as people over 65, people who are hard of hearing, school- age children, and people who are alcohol impaired. Therefore, the 520 Hz low-frequency audible alarm signal is now required for smoke alarms in areas intended for sleeping within hotels and dormitories that are required to have a fire alarm system. If smoke alarms capable of producing the low-frequency audible alarm signal are not available, smoke detectors arranged to function in the same manner as smoke alarms in accordance with 9.6.2.10.8 would be required. The following product solutions are currently available in the market if the smoke alarm is unable to produce the 520 Hz low-frequency audible alarm signal in sleeping rooms: (1) Smoke detectors with integral sounder bases (2) Fire alarm system horns and horn/strobes (3) Speakers connected to an in-building fire alarm emergency voice alarm communication (EVAC) system The peer-reviewed research project — Optimizing Fire Alarm Notification for High Risk Groups: Waking Effectiveness of Alarms (Auditory, Visual and Tactile) for Adults Who Are Hard of Hearing and Waking Effectiveness of Alarms (Auditory, Visual and Tactile) for the Alcohol Impaired — was conducted under the auspices of the Fire Protection Research Foundation.

Negative with Comment Longhitano, Alfred J. I cannot vote for a provision that requires sprinklers in a single story motel with every room having a direct exit to grade. Nobody can consider that a MINIMUM requirement for life safety. I realize that the requirement is in the 2018 edition, but to support this change would look like support for this vastly overreaching provision.

Committee Statement

Committee The committee has reviewed the numerous public comments as well as the language from the first Statement: draft report and has decided upon the following language. The addition of alternate materials for containers in sprinklered building or buildings with non-combustible exterior addresses the increased protection in these buildings, and therefore, it is not necessary to provided non-combustible containers. The requirement for tight-fitting lids was removed due to the potential entrapment for children and animals. The increased in larger containers for exterior egress balconies was added due to the reduced risk of smoke accumulation in exterior locations. The addition of requirement time limitations for trash and recycling materials was added to address the largest risk is from the combustible materials within the containers.

As written it is not clear if the intent is to limit containers containing combustible trash to less than 5hours or if the intent is to limit combustible trash not in a container to less than 5hhours. More appropriate wording would be, containers containing combustible trash or recycling materials shall not occupy a corridor for a single period exceeding 5 hours.

32.3.3.7.9 Smoke barriers shall be constructed in accordance with Section 8.5 and shall have a minimum 1-hour fire resistance rating, unless they meet the requirement of 32.3.3.7.10 or 32.3.3.7.11 . otherwise permitted by one of the following: (1) This requirement shall not apply where an atrium is used and both of the following criteria apply: (a) Smoke barriers shall be permitted to terminate at an atrium wall constructed in accordance with 8.6.7(1)(c), . (b) Not less than two separate smoke compartments shall be provided on each floor. (2)* Smoke dampers shall not be required in duct penetrations of smoke barriers in fully ducted heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems.

A.32.3.3.7.9(2)

Where the smoke control system design requires dampers in order that the system functions effectively, it is not the intent of 32.3.3.7.11 32.3.3.7.9 (2) to permit the damper to be omitted. The term fully ducted means the supply and return-air systems are provided with continuous ducts from all air registers to the air-handling unit.

(3) The provisions of 8.5.6.5 and 8.5.7.2 shall not apply. 32.3.3.7.10 Where an atrium is used, smoke barriers shall be permitted to terminate at an atrium wall constructed in accordance with 8.6.7 (1)(c), in which case not less than two separate smoke compartments shall be provided on each floor. 32.3.3.7.11 Dampers shall not be required in duct penetrations of smoke barriers in fully ducted heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems.

Committee Statement

Committee Section 32.3.3.7.9 through 32.3.3.7.11 were consolidated for clarity and consistency with other Statement: chapters. Technical changes in this SR are limited to 32.3.3.7.9(3). There is no documented evidence that smoke leakage has been an issue in board and care facilities. The detailed requirement in Chapter 8 for leakage rates are not necessary in fully sprinkler protected buildings. This creates an unnecessary burden when other items in the barriers do not have leakage ratings. This exemption already exists in healthcare and ambulatory healthcare occupancies for new construction.

Negative with Comment Farraher, Martin J. NEMA does not support the permission to omit the damper to be placed in the annex. The enforceable language no longer permits omitting the damper because the permission has been moved to an unenforceable annex. A definition for “fully ducted” has been created and placed in the annex. The enforceable language needs to include the description of the fully ducted system instead of placing an explanation in the annex.

Second Revision No. 6643-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 37.4.4.2 ]

37.4.4.2 Special Definitions. The following is a list of special terms used in this chapter: (1) Anchor Building. A building housing any occupancy having low- or ordinary-hazard contents and having direct access to a mall structure, but having all required means of egress independent of the mall concourse. (See 3.3.37.2.) (2) Food Court. A public seating area located in a mall concourse that serves adjacent food preparation tenant spaces. (See 3.3.51.2.) (3) Gross Leasable Area. Fifty percent of major tenant areas, and 100 percent of all other floor areas designated for tenant occupancy and exclusive use, including storage areas. The area of tenant occupancy is measured from the centerlines of joint partitions to the outside of the tenant walls. (See 3.3.22.3.) (4) Mall Concourse. A common pedestrian area within a mall structure that serves as access for two or more tenants and does not exceed three levels that are open to each other. (See 3.3.177.)

(a)* Open Mall Concourse. A mall concourse that either (1) has 50 percent or more of the total area of the solid mall concourse perimeter walls and solid roof area open to the atmosphere with openings distributed uniformly over the length of the mall concourse, or (2) has an approved open mall concourse engineering analysis. (b) Enclosed Mall Concourse. A mall concourse that does not meet the definition of open mall concourse.

(5)* Mall Structure. A single building enclosing a number of tenants and occupancies wherein two or more tenants have a main entrance into one or more mall concourses. For the purpose of this chapter, anchor buildings shall not be considered as a part of the mall structure. (See 3.3.284.4.)

A.37.4.4.2(5) Mall Structure.

A mall structure can include either an enclosed mall concourse or an open mall concourse. A mall structure might be enclosed by construction that could range from total enclosure to construction that is open, either partially or totally, to the outer air. For structures without complete walls and/or roof, the termination of the mall exit discharge would determine the extent of the structure. A mall structure might enclose one or more uses, such as retail and wholesale stores, drinking and dining establishments, entertainment and amusement facilities, transportation facilities, offices, and other similar uses.

(6) Major Tenant. A tenant space, in a mall structure, with one or more main entrances from the exterior that also serve as exits and are independent of the mall concourse. (See 3.3.176.)

Second Revision No. 6641-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. 39.4.2 ]

39.4.2 High-Rise Buildings. 39.4.2.1 All high-rise business occupancy buildings shall be provided with a reasonable degree of safety from fire, and such degree of safety shall be accomplished by one of the following means: an approved, supervised automatic sprinkler system in accordance with 9.7.1.1 (1) unless the building is provided with an approved engineered life safety system developed by a registered professional engineer experienced in fire and life safety systems. Installation of a complete, approved, supervised automatic sprinkler system in accordance with 9.7.1.1(1) Installation of an engineered life safety system complying with all of the following: The engineered life safety system shall be developed by a registered professional engineer experienced in fire and life safety systems design. The life safety system shall be approved by the authority having jurisdiction and shall be permitted to include any or all of the following systems: Partial automatic sprinkler protection Smoke detection alarms Smoke control Elevators Compartmentation Other approved systems

39.4.2.2* A limited, but reasonable, time shall be permitted for compliance with any part of 39.4.2.1 , commensurate with the magnitude of expenditure and the disruption of services.

A.39.4.2.2

In some cases, appreciable cost might be involved in bringing an existing occupancy into compliance. Where this is true, it would be appropriate for the authority having jurisdiction to prescribe a schedule determined jointly with the facility, allowing suitable periods of time for the correction of the various deficiencies and giving due weight to the ability of the owner to secure the necessary funds.

39.4.2.3 In addition to the requirements of 39.4.2.1 and 39.4.2.2 , all buildings, regardless of height, shall comply with all other applicable provisions of this chapter. 39.4.2.2* Previously approved engineered life safety systems shall be maintained in accordance with the approved design documents and applicable standards.

A.39.4.2.2

The intent of this requirement is to provide a reasonable degree of safety from fire for all occupants of high-rise business occupancy buildings. This reasonable degree of safety can be accomplished by the installation of an automatic sprinkler system or application of an engineered life safety system. The engineered life safety system is similar to alternative protection concepts contained in most building and fire codes. Alternative systems, methods, or devices achieving a reasonable level of protection and meeting the intent of the specific code requirement can be used if the level of life safety provided by that engineered life safety system is proven to the satisfaction of the authority having jurisdiction. The engineered life safety system should be documented and include a narrative discussion of the features of the building structure, function, operational support systems, and occupant activities that impact fire protection and life safety. The submission to the authority having jurisdiction for approval should describe potential reasonable worst-case fire scenarios and their impact on building occupants and the facility's structures. Specific issues that should be addressed include rate of fire growth, type and location of fuel items, space layout, building construction, openings and ventilation, suppression capability, detection time, occupant notification, occupant reaction time, occupant mobility, and means of egress. Elements of the engineered life safety system might include but are not limited to the following: (1) Partial automatic sprinkler protection (2) Smoke detection alarms (3) Elevators (4) Smoke control (5) Compartmentation Analytical and empirical tools, including fire models and performance-based design methods, such as those outlined in the SFPE Engineering Guide to Performance-Based Fire Protection and Chapter 5 of this Code can be used to support the engineered life safety system. If fire modeling is used as part of an analysis, an assessment of the predictive capabilities of the fire models should be included.

Committee Statement

Committee The engineered life safety system is a viable solution that meets the goals stated in 4.1 of NFPA Statement: 101. Previously the requirements for an ELSS were vague. The committee provided additional explanatory material to clarify the elements of an acceptable ELSS and qualifications for who can perform this type of analysis.

Existing section 39.4.2.2 was deleted and a general pointer to 4.6.6 was added to the annex. The language in 39.4.2.2 was simply stating the same thing already allowed by 4.6.6.

The concept of a comprehensive life safety system for high-rise buildings goes back to the 1973 edition. Specifically, the LSC has permitted the use of the alternative protection in existing high-rise business buildings since the 1981 edition and in existing high-rise residential buildings since the 1997 edition. These provisions have been used by many architects, engineers and authorities having jurisdiction as a means to provide a reasonable level of protection without the costs and related hardships associated with sprinkler installations in existing buildings. The ELSS works for many properties and communities where an alternative was sought by the local stakeholders.

Existing section 39.4.2.3 was deleted because it is redundant and unnecessary, the rest of the Code always applies.

Committee Statement

Committee Deleting the phrase 'hazardous materials' limits the concept of high-hazard industrial occupancies to Statement: those materials with a fire related hazard. This revision clarifies that this section is only addressing fire hazard of the materials and deferring to NFPA 400 for other chemical hazards

There are redundant and contradictory requirements created when classifying NFPA 101 occupancy type based off of the MAQ of the fire code. NFPA 400 is already required for industrial occupancies per Sections 40.2.11.3 and 40.3.2.6. It is more effective for NFPA 101 to allow for NFPA 400 to dictate the requirements for exceeding the MAQ. It does not make sense to require all of the requirements of a NFPA 101 High Hazard Industrial Occupancy for a building that exceeds the MAQ for corrosives. NFPA 400 has more pertinent requirements for buildings that exceed the corrosive MAQ as the NFPA 400 requirements are broken down by the different hazardous material classifications. NFPA 101 has a one size fits all high hazard industrial occupancy classification that was originally intended for high fire hazards only. Response SR-6596-NFPA 101-2019 Message:

Committee There have been a number of high-rise building fires in industrial occupancies which show the need Statement: for sprinklers. Examples go as far back as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. More recent examples include:

• The 2010 fire in a clothing factory in Bangladesh, 27 people died and 100 were injured

• The 2012 Tazreen Fire in Bangladesh, 112 people died

• The 2017 fire in a garment factory in Bangladesh, 13 people died and 50 injured

• The 2017 Plasco Fire in a high-rise building housing a shopping center and clothing workshop in Tehran, 20 people died and 200 were injured

The Life Safety Code is applied internationally. There are many examples of high-rise industrial Page 324 of 373

facilities around the world and, in the future, could be found more frequently in the United States. New industrial occupancies are required to be sprinklered and occupants of existing industrial occupancies should be provided with the same level of life safety. The committee acknowledges that retrofitting an industrial occupancy may be challenging and therefore, has provided the engineered life safety system as an alternative approach to life safety. The language for the engineered life safety system is the same language that has appeared in the Code for other occupancies for several cycles of the code and has not presented an enforceability issue. A 12 year requirement for compliance was included to align with retrofit requirements found in other occupancies.

Second Revision No. 6625-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. A.3.3.37.9 ]

A.3.3.37.9 Special Amusement Building. Special amusement buildings include amusements typically found in theme parks such as a roller coaster–type ride within a building, a multilevel play structure within a building, a submarine ride, and similar amusements where the occupants are not in the open air and might or might not be confined to a ride vehicle and/or unable to self-evacuate. Examples of temporary special amusement buildings include mobile fun houses typically found in carnivals or a gymnasium converted to a haunted house for Halloween. Three conditions are essential to the definition of a special amusement building: First, the area might be either an entire building or a portion of a building. A rollercoaster within a theme park would not be a special amusement building if it is open to the air along its entire length. On the other hand, if portions of the rollercoaster were partially enclosed within buildings that house the show elements, it would then be a special amusement building. Second, a special amusement building contains either an amusement ride or device, or a walkway over a course intended to provide amusement or entertainment. A theater with fixed seats and a performance platform or stage would typically not be a special amusement building because there is no amusement ride or device, and there is no walkway that is used to provide amusement or entertainment. Third, a special amusement building is intended to either divert the patron’s attention away from the egress path, either through audio or visual distractions or by intentionally confounding the patron, or it contains or restrains the patron such that the patron is unable to self-evacuate when the amusement ride has ceased motion. A carousel or small train inside a shopping mall might not be considered to be a special amusement building if, once ride motion has ceased, the patron can step out of the vehicle without assistance and is aware of the egress path. Other occupancies might also fall into the classification of special amusement building if the conditions described in the definition apply. Escape rooms are an example of where such conditions might exist. It is incumbent on the authority having jurisdiction to inquire if the conditions in the escape room meet the definition of a special amusement building. Where such conditions exist, escape rooms should be classified as special amusement buildings. Where such conditions do not exist, escape rooms might be classified as another occupancy type, such as business. It is important for the authority having jurisdiction to recognize that the Code requires an occupancy to be classified as a special amusement building if the conditions in the space meet the definition of special amusement building, regardless of the occupant load of the space. No minimum occupant load threshold must be met for a space to be classified as a special amusement building. A space could be classified as a special amusement building even where the occupant load is significantly fewer than the 50 occupants required for classification of other assembly occupancies. The requirements for special amusement buildings are not intended to apply to the design of the actual amusement ride or device, but rather that of the facility that houses the ride or device. The design of an amusement ride or device, including all platforms and stairs that are attached to the ride structure, is governed by other standards, such as ASTM F2291, Standard Practice for Design of Amusement Rides or Devices . The design of facilities elements around the ride, including stairs and platforms that are not part of the ride structure, should be in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Code .

Second Revision No. 6649-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. A.18.3.5.10 ]

A.18.3.5.10 This exception is limited to hospitals, as nursing homes and many limited care facilities might have more combustibles within the closets. The limited amount of clothing found in the small clothes closets in hospital patient rooms is typically far less than the amount of combustibles in casework cabinets that do not require sprinkler protection, such as nurse servers. In many hospitals, especially new hospitals, it is difficult to make a distinction between clothes closets and cabinet work. The exception is far more restrictive than similar exceptions for hotels and apartment buildings. NFPA 13 already permits the omission of sprinklers in wardrobes. [see 8.1.1(7) of NFPA 13 ]. It is not the intent of 18.3.5.10 to affect the wardrobe provisions of NFPA 13. It is the intent that the sprinkler protection in the room covers the closet as if there were no door on the closet.

Second Revision No. 6580-NFPA 101-2019 [ Section No. A.31.3.5.4 ]

A.31.3.5.4 The provision of 31.3.5.4 differs from NFPA 13 because fire data shows that in apartment fires where sprinklers were present, bathrooms were the area of origin in 1 percent of the total fires, and resulted in no civilian deaths, civilian injuries, or property loss. NFPA 101 and NFPA 13 both allow sprinklers to be omitted in small bathrooms in dwelling units. Historically, NFPA 13 sometimes differed in this requirement. Maintaining this provision in NFPA 101 allows all previously approved sprinkler installations to remain compliant.
