NFPA 2 Slips Cycle
Martin T Gresho, NFPA 2 - Hydrogen Technologies
The NFPA Hydrogen Technologies Technical Committee voted to slip a code development cycle by 6 months with the much anticipated NFPA 2 document. NFPA 2 is primarily an extract document to consolidate the hydrogen provisions throughout the NFPA codes into a single document for ease of use. The Technical Committee (TC) reached the decision to slip cycle after it was determined that releasing the current draft would be inefficient because the TC has not sufficiently completed its work in consolidating the extracted text into one easy to use, enforceable document. The TC expects the needed integration work to take several months. This will also allow the excerpts to accurately reflect the final language from the ROC meetings for NFPA 52, 55, and 853.
The result of the decision is that NFPA 2 is now on the Fall 2010 cycle. For additional information on the NFPA code development process, please see www.nfpa.org. |
