FAQ- Why are Life Safety Surveyors using that "old Code"? ANSWER- ??
Great clarification Dale Lyman, CFPS!
And meanwhile, administrators are in jurisdictions that enforce the International Building and Fire Codes. That is an unnecessary complication that could be eliminated by dropping 101 in favor of the ICC codes. It would also mean regular updates to adapt to new materials, etc.
Thanks, Dale! You are spot on about TJC surveying you to the 2012 NFPA 101 and each NFPA code referenced in it. One of the findings, I recently received was on EC.02.03.05 EP 11- Fire Pump tested under flow….NFPA 25-2011: 8.3.3; 8.3.3.4 The fire pump passed, the contractor performed the test correctly and to the NFPA 25, chapter 8, but he referenced 2023 edition of NFPA 25! As the surveyor explained, I didn’t follow the standard as set forth by CMS. I pouted for a good hour over that ??

1 天前Based on the article, bringing things to state-of-art will literally require an act of Congress. Sad but stupid. Congress needs to pass a law that requires the most current edition of NFPA 101. Years ago, one of my colleagues was inspecting fire protection systems at nuclear facilities. He was required to use editions that were so old that they were hard to obtain (this was before the Internet). ??
