- Company Profile:
Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
Application of water spray to equipment or areas where a fire can occur to control the rate of burning and thereby limit the heat release from a fire until the fuel can be eliminated or extinguishment effected.
Industry:Fire safety
Appliances where the primary means of protection against electrical shock is not grounding. The primary means is by the use of combinations of insulation and separation spacings in accordance with an approved standard.
Industry:Fire safety
Appliances that are constructed and installed so that all air for combustion is derived directly from the outdoors and all flue gases are discharged to the outdoors.
Industry:Fire safety
Appliances such as gas-operated coffee brewers and coffee urns and any appurtenant water-heating equipment, food and dish warmers, hot plates, and griddles.
Industry:Fire safety
Appliance equipped with an automatic burner ignition and safety shutoff device and other automatic devices.
Industry:Fire safety
Apparatus intended to be connected to nonincendive field wiring.
Industry:Fire safety
Apparatus in which the circuits are not necessarily nonincendive themselves but that affect the energy in nonincendive field wiring circuits and are relied upon to maintain nonincendive energy levels. Associated nonincendive field wiring apparatus may be either of the following: (1) Electrical apparatus that has an alternative type of protection for use in the approrpiate hazardous (classified) location; (2) Electrical apparatus not so protected that shall not be used in a hazardous (classified) location.
Industry:Fire safety
Apparatus in which the circuits are not necessarily intrinsically safe themselves but that affect the energy in the intrinsically safe circuits and are relied on to maintain intrinsic safety. Associated apparatus may be either of the following:
Industry:Fire safety
Apparatus in which all the circuits are intrinsically safe.
Industry:Fire safety
Apparatus enclosed in a case that is capable of withstanding an explosion of a specified gas or vapor that may occur within it and of preventing the ignition of a specified gas or vapor surrounding the enclosure by sparks, flashes, or explosion of the gas or vapor within, and that operates at such an external temperature that a surrounding flammable atmosphere will not be ignited thereby.
