3.3.3 Self-Luminous (Emergency Symbols) .A type of sign that is self-energized with respect to luminosity used for an emergency symbol with respect to luminosity and requires no external power source, or photoluminescent materials having the ability to store incident electromagnetic radiation typically from ambient light sources, and release it in the form of visiblelight .




CommitteeStatement:

The TC has changed the definition of self luminous to better address the concerns of the submitter. Wherever the wording "self luminous" exisits within the standard, this new definition will now include photoluminescent materials. The annex information for A.4.1.3 and A.5.1.3 will now allow photluminescent materials.

CommitteeStatement:

Fire Department Automatic Sprinkler Connection - Siamese The proposed change will prevent confusion with the first example of Fire Department Automatic Sprinkler Connection - Single. Emergency Telephone The proposed change will identify the standard field of the symbol. A rectangular field can also be used alternatively. Whichever the shape will be used, it must be included in the corresponding characteristics column of the symbol. The chosen shape or field should be the first characteristic to achieve consistency with other symbols'characteristics. No Fire Fighting Having the octagonal field as the firstcharacteristic in the column can result in a little bit of confusion until one can analyze the symbol and its characteristics more closely. Since the first characteristic of the preceding symbols (except for Emergency Telephone) describes the overall shape of these symbols, the "No Fire Fighting" symbol should follow also this format. Hence, the proposed change. The TC changed the outer field to circular to represent the actual symbol. SCBA symbol The symbol should have a rectangular field to achieve consistency with the corresponding characteristic. Firefighting Hose or Standpipe Outlet Symbol No demonstrated need to add classifications of standpipe. Hoses are connected via couplings for either type.

CommitteeStatement:

The basic shape for "wall" does not need designation therefore we are not adding other verbiage. The symbol SP is a smoke partition and special terms are not necessary. The submitter's "barrier wall'' designation is not changed by the Technical Committee because there is varied terminology for fire rated construction and we are not removing 3/4 fire rated wall because there may be situations where it could be used by a designer. The technical committee is adding the new designation "F" to denote a firewall to the "2 hour", "3 hour", 4 hour" symbols. See attachment for new artwork

CommitteeStatement:

1. Combined combination heat detector/smoke detector into one symbol. The TC is changing the shape of symbol only. By combining this into one symbol, it allows for easier delineation between the two meanings. 2. The TC is not adding the smoke detector sensor for the duct as it adds confusion and could cause designer errors. 3. This symbol already exists in Table 8.5 therefore the TC is not adding it. 4. Adding new symbol to "Gas Detector/Sensor Subscript Examples" (changing name to Gas Detection Types) for designation of smoke/heat detector/carbon monoxide detector does exist, and a symbol is required. 5. Moving symbols within Table for ease of use

11.1 Introduction.This chapter shall provide requirements on the preparation of floor diagrams and plans, posted within a building, to show the egress evacuation paths and locations of equipment used during an emergency. Building emergency information shall be provided to instruct or guide occupants in how to report an emergency; when to evacuate to the outside evacuation assembly area, to a designated area of refuge, to an area of rescue assistance, or to a designated shelter area; when to remain in place; or when to employ any combination of these options.

Response Message:






11.2.2*A basic floor plan shall show a minimum of two ways to exit from the location of where the diagram/plan is posted, when possible, show the entire floor plan, but when unable to provide a key plan highlighting the area shown in accordance with NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. A plan shall show a minimum of two ways to exit from the location of where the diagram/plan is posted, showing the entire floor plan in accordance with NFPA 101 , Life Safety Code .

CommitteeStatement:

The technical Committee recognizes the shape of the entire plan is much easier to recognize than small sections. But, if necessary, the key plan gives the viewer a full understanding of the building.

ResponseMessage:






11.3.2There shall be a notation showing the location of the viewer and their orientation withthe "you are here" notation pointing up to the sign location . This shall be the most dominant graphic on the diagram.




CommitteeStatement:

The technical committee clarifies the confusion in sometimes the "you are here" notation giving the impression that the sign is on the other side of the wall.

Response Message:






11.4.3The diagram or plan shall provide emergency evacuation guidelines describing the different emergency alert signals and of when and what to do when the signals are sounded. If there are not any signals, the guidelines shall describe how the occupants will be instructed what to do in case of an emergency.




CommitteeStatement:

The Technical Committee recognizes there are several types of emergency conditions that require different emergency alerts and instructions.
