Suggest to remove reference to 1/2 in. concrete, re. Jarrod Alston comment in original ballot.

Negative with Comment

Alston, Jarrod

The proposed language extends recognized or accepted thermal barriers beyond what is recognized by othercodes/standards such as NFPA 5000 or IBC. Only 1/2 in. gypsum is permitted without testing to NFPA 275 underthose codes and it would be viewed as inappropriate to extend to 1/2 in. concrete without justification.

Fagerlund, Katherine

I agree with Mr. Nott’s and Mr. Alston’s comments. Further, the proposed language does not differentiate betweenrequirements for combustible versus non-combustible insulation as is typical in the applicable building codes.

Locke, Harold A.

I agree with the comments made by Notts and Alstom

Nott, Neil E.

It is not clear that exposed insulation in public circulation areas presents unique hazards in fixed guideway transitand passenger rail systems that are not addressed in the building code referenced by sections 5.1.2.1. Noexamples are provided of incidents that may have occurred, or research suggesting that this is a significant “gap”that should be addressed in NFPA 130.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

This revision to the text are required to align with the terms defined in the standard. As currentlywritten, the requirement for mechanical emergency ventilation system applies to "an enclosed systemstation" (as opposed to an "enclosed station" per definition in Chapter 3). A mechanical emergencyventilation system is not required for "an open system station" (as opposed to an "open station" asdefined). The current text, when applied literally by an AHJ, can lead to significant ambiguity. It is notclear from current text in 7.1.2.2.(1) and 7.1.2.3.(1) if the intent of NFPA 130 is to refer to an open orenclosed station on a transit system OR to a station on an open or enclosed transit system.

Suggest that new 7.2.6.2 read: "For stations, the time of tenability shall be greater than the calculated egress timeused in 5.3.3". Justification: We need to add "of tenability" after "time", to properly define "time", given that the twosentences in 7.2.6 are now separated. It is also suggested to remove "to establish egress capacity" to simplify theintent of the sentence, which is to compare "time of tenability" with "time of egress".

Where the fan has to be modulated or moved DURING a fire event then the thermal overload should bebypassed as the clause suggests. However, where fire mode calls for a single action, there is no need to protectthe thermal overload. Examples are where a fail-safe spring return is incorporated into the damper design, orwhere the damper is actuated to the fire mode position early in the growth phase of the fire. The latter requiresadequate detection and response but not a thermal overload bypass. The requirement as written requiresadditional onerous requirements and stops innovative design. I would leave the clause as previously written.

The Committee Statement necessitating the change is entirely correct but the revised wording is not quite correct.The last sentence only talks about electrical supply and should mention control as well. Additionally, given thatSR-5 includes other elements of the ventilation system such as dampers, the last sentence does not includethese. Suggest “….failure of any single air moving or cooling unit does not result in the loss of (add) *control or*the electrical supply to the emergency ventilation (strike next two words)*fans system* during the specified periodof operation.”

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

In the 2014 edition adhesives and sealants were added to the list of materials to be tested to ASTME162 and ASTM E662. Omitted in error from this change was the addition of notes a (prohibitionflame dripping and running) and b (testing for smoke emission in both the flaming and non-flamingmodes). Because of the various areas in the car the adhesive or sealant can be used, if flamerunning and dripping is not prohibited the flame running or dripping can add to the propagation of thefire to other materials in the car. Adding this note to the adhesives and sealants is consistent with therequirements of other materials in Table 8.4.1. The inclusion of note b insures that smoke emissionsin both modes are reported and evaluated. This also is consistent with the requirements for othermaterials in Table 8.4.1.

Incorporation of the notes for adhesives and sealants is appropriate. However, the table formatting, particularlythe cell borders, is brought to the editors attention. The borders for the adhesives and sealants should beconsistent with other material types to avoid confusion with respect to category, test method, or performancecriteria.

The proposed owrding is awkward with respect to requiring simply an 'alternative location' to the OCC. The rest ofthe clause, discussing equipment, while clarifyign the intent violates the NFPA MOS by resulting in multiple 'shall'statements within a single clause. The intent of the clause is to provide backup or redunant operational systems,so perhaps should read "Backup OCC functions shall be provided in an alternative location to the OCC" orsomething to that effect.

Committee Statement is that "the deleted text conflicts with ADA guidelines". As NFPA-130 is an internationalstandard, this is too restrictive outside of the U.S.; for example Ontario's Building Code requirement is 250 mmheight difference.

Till, Robert C.

The text of the Standard states only that tactile and visual warnings should be incorporated …. not shall, and therevised wording removes any prescriptive dimensions.

Criteria for noise levels should be established for the various situations and potential exposures particularto the environments addressed by this standard. The intent of the recommended criteria is to maintain atleast a minimal level of speech intelligibility along emergency evacuation routes. This might requireadditional noise control measures and acoustical treatment to achieve. Exceptions taken to therecommended noise levels for reasons of cost and feasibility should be as few and as slight as reasonablypossible. For example, local area exceptions to the recommended acoustic criteria could be required to beapplied for defined limited distances along the evacuation path that are near active noise sources. Othermeans of providing emergency evacuation guidance using acoustic, nonacoustic, or combined methodsmight be considered. Recommendations Starting points for noise criteria for various design scenariosare as should be considered as follows:

(1) In general, noise levels should not exceed the following: Where reliance on unamplified speech isused as part of the emergency response inside a tunnel, the speech interference level (SIL) duringemergency response from all active systems measured along the path of evacuation at any point1.52 m (5 ft) above the walking surface should not exceed 78 dBZ L eq “slow” over any period of 1

minute, using the arithmetic average of unweighted sound pressure level in the 500, 1000, 2000 and4000 Hz octave bands.

During emergency response, the sound pressure level from all active systems measuredinside a tunnel along the path of evacuation at any point 5 ft (1.52 m) above the walkingsurface should not exceed 94 dBA L eq “low” for a period of 1 hour and should at no time

exceed 140 dBZ peak [ISO 1999, EU Directive 2003/10/EC, and Canada Occupational Safetyand Health Regulations, SOR/86-304, Part VII )].

The sound pressure level from all active systems measured where staff would be present formaintenance and testing and where hearing protection is not available should not exceed 85dBA TWA “slow” for a period of 8 hours and should at no time exceed 140 dBZ peak [29 CFR1910.95 (OSHA)].

(2) Where reliance on unamplified speech is used as part of the emergency response, duringemergency response, the sound interference level (SIL) from all active systems measured inside atunnel along the path of evacuation at any point 5 ft (1.52 m) above the walking surface should notexceed 78 dBZ L eq “slow” over any period of 1 minute, using the arithmetic average of

un-weighted sound pressure level in the 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz octave bands For intelligiblecommunication between emergency evacuation responders and the public, where reliance onamplified speech is used as part of the emergency response within a station, refer to NFPA 72 .

(3) For intelligible communication between emergency evacuation responders and the public wherereliance upon amplified speech is used as part of the emergency response within a station thefollowing applies: Where reliance on amplified speech is used as part of the emergency responsewithin a tunnel, the sound pressure level from all active systems measured inside a tunnel along thepath of evacuation at any point 1.52 m (5 ft) above the walking surface should be designed tosupport speech intelligibility of fixed voice communication systems to achieve a measured STI of notless than 0.45 (0.65 CIS) and an average STI of not less than 0.5 (0.7 CIS) as per D.2.4.1 of NFPA72 . Refer to Annex D of NFPA 72 for further information on speech intelligibility for voicecommunication systems.

During emergency response, the sound pressure level from all active systems measuredinside a station along the path of evacuation at any point 5 ft (1.52 m) above the walkingsurface where a voice communication system is intended to be used should not exceed thehigher of 70 dBA L eq “slow” measured over any 1 minute period or 10 dB below the

measured voice communication system sound pressure level in the octave bands greaterthan 63 Hz with a steady-state red noise input signal set to the maximum A-weighted settingof the voice communication system (if the voice communication system has an ambientsensing microphone).

The speech intelligibility of voice communication systems under the same conditions and forthe same spaces should achieve a measured STI of not less than 0.45 (0.65 CIS) and anaverage STI of not less than 0.5 (0.7 CIS) as per D.2.4.1 of NFPA 72 . Refer to Annex D ofNFPA 72 for further information on speech intelligibility for voice communication systems.

The STI criterion is more stringent than the noise level limit and might require additional noisecontrol measures and acoustical treatment to achieve.

Where reliance upon amplified speech is used as part of the emergency response within a tunnel,

Although the revised text limits the prescriptive content of the proposed Annex and defers to NFPA 72 whereappropriate, as written the language may still be interpreted to impose noise limitations within the tunnel that maynot be practical in that environment. As written, the language implies that some level of noise limitations arerequired as there will either be uamplified or amplified communications. Audible or voice communication systemsare not requirements under Chapter 6; as such the proposed language (while not statutory being in Annex B)imposes restrictions that are not aligned with trainway requirements. It is believed that the intent of the workinggroup was to develop recommended noise levels only for instances in which some form of voice communicationforms part of the tunnel fire/life safety strategy. The efforts of the working group are recognized; it is preferrablethat the work done to date is not lost. The issue can be addressed through inclusion of an additional sub-clausethat identifies noise levels appropriate to trainways not utilizing audible communication systems (such as painthresholds or similar).

Fagerlund, Katherine

I agree with Mr. Alston’s comments that the proposed new language may be interpreted to impose noiselimitations that are unreasonable in a tunnel environment. Language that clarifies the intent while being lessprescriptive would be more appropriate.

Locke, Harold A.

I agree with Mr. Alstom's comment

CIS levels. The concern is with the SIL (subclause (1)) as follows: a. SIL is more commonly an acronym for“Safety Integrity Level” which is a different and could be misleading . Noted that it is defined in the subclause, butSIL is ONLY used in the subclause and therefore it would be better to not provide the acronym. b. Moreimportantly, 78 dBZ will be near impossible to achieve if the system has a jet fan, or if egress goes near asaccardo nozzle or an axial fan. Noise levels for jet fans are usually specified internationally to be able to meet anin-tunnel noise level of Noise Rating 85 (NR 85) at a distance of 1.5m above the walking surface. (Note that this isstill extremely difficult to achieve in practice). In the US, NR is more typically denoted as NC. The NR curve moreclosely follows the human ear perception. So while 78 dbZ would be nice, I think it is only practical in largesystems where fans are operating a considerable distance away from the egress path, and where the fan systemsdo not include jet fans. A more reasonable specified level would be 85NR.

E.2 Fire Hazard Analysis.

The prescriptive-based vehicle fire performance requirements in Chapter 8 of this standard are based onindividual material tests. With the use of the fire hazard analysis process, it should be possible toascertain the fire performance of vehicle materials and assemblies in the context of actual use. The resultof such a fire hazard analysis should be a clear understanding of the role of materials, geometry, andother factors in the development of fire in the specific vehicles studied. By identifying when or if specificconditions are reached such that materials begin to contribute to the fire hazard, fixed guideway transitand passenger rail systems vehicle designers and authorities having jurisdiction will have a betterfoundation on which to base appropriate vehicle and system design and the evaluation of the fireperformance of such vehicle designs. By showing the relative contribution of a particular design feature ormaterial, it is possible to make a more realistic assessment of the necessity for specific vehicle designrequirements to meet fire/life safety objectives and criteria.

The SFPE Engineering Guide to Performance-Based Fire Protection Analysis and Design of Buildings [2]provides a framework for these assessments. Other useful references include ASTM E2061 [3] and APTARP PR- PS-RP- 005-01a 00 [4]. On May 12, 1999, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issued arule containing passenger rail equipment fire safety regulations [5]. The FRA issued a clarification/revisionof the fire safety regulations on June 25, 2002 [6]. 49 CFR 238.103 requires that materials used forpassenger rail cars and locomotive cabs meet certain fire safety performance criteria and that fire safety(e.g., hazard) analysis be conducted for all new and existing rail passenger equipment.

In addition, scenarios are used to assess the adequacy of vehicle designs considered and ultimatelyselected. Accordingly, initiating events as referenced from the ASTM rail fire assessment guide [3] arespecified for analysis. Although developed for the analysis of existing equipment, the APTA-recommendedfire safety practice provides a framework and resources for the application of fire hazard analysis invehicles that might be applicable to new or retrofitted equipment.

Finally, it is important to note that the fire hazards relating to the vehicle-operating environment must beconsidered.

If the outcome predicted by assessment of the scenarios evaluated is bound by the performance criteriastated, then the objectives will have been met, and the life safety characteristics of a proposed vehicledesign can be considered to be consistent with the goals of this standard. It must be assumed that if adesign fails to comply with the life safety goals and objectives and associated performance criteria, thedesign must be changed and reassessed iteratively until satisfactory performance levels are attained.

On June 25, 2002, the FRA published a Federal Register Notice that clarified several items relating to thefire tests and performance criteria, and revised certain parts of the fire safety analysis requirements [6].

Documentation of assessment parameters, such as those used with scenarios, is critical. The approvaland acceptance of a fire/life safety design is dependent on the quality of the documentation used in thisprocess.
