1.4.1

Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this standard shall not apply to facilities, equipment,structures, or installations that existed or were approved for construction or installation prior to theeffective date of the standard. Where specified, the provisions of this standard shall be retroactive.

1.4.2

In those cases where the authority having jurisdiction determines that the existing situation presents anunacceptable degree of risk, the authority having jurisdiction shall be permitted to apply retroactively anyportions of this standard deemed appropriate.

1.4.3

The retroactive requirements of this standard shall be permitted to be modified if their application clearlywould be impractical in the judgment of the authority having jurisdiction, and only where it is clearlyevident that a reasonable degree of safety is provided.

1.5 Equivalency.

1.5.1

Nothing in this standard shall is intended to prevent the use of systems, methods, or devices devices, orappliances of equivalent or superior quality, strength, fire resistance, effectiveness, durability, and safetyover those prescribed by this standard.

1.5.2

Technical documentation shall be submitted to the authority having jurisdiction to demonstrateequivalency.

1.5.3

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

Complete reorganization of Chapter 1 to eliminate redundancy, place the paragraphs in theappropriate section, and comply with the Manual of Style.

In the Scope Section, 1.1.2 is moved to the Application Section, 1.1.3 is replaced by theRetroactivity Section, and 1.1.4 is deleted because it is a re-statement of 1.1.1. The "whererequired" clause is deleted because it conflicts with requirements in 4.5 and Chapter 6.

In the Purpose Section, combined 1.2.2 and 1.3.2, which stated the same thing but moved the listfrom 1.3.2 to 1.2.2.

In the Application Section, inserted the language from 1.1.2.

Inserted the new Retroactivity Section with the model language from the Manual of Style, AnnexA.1.6.1.5.

In the Equivalency Section, edited the language to match the model language from the Manual ofStyle, Annex A.1.6.1.6.

Inserted the Units and Formulas Section in anticipation of new Annex material with units. Thelanguage is from the Manual of Style, Annex 4.4.

CommitteeStatement:

The existing 2 paragraphs are deleted because they only restate the scope and purpose fromChapter 1, providing no new useful material. While there may be more, the core fundamentalsshould be:

1. Individual system testing is needed.

2. Integrated systems function needs to be tested from the first input to the last output (end toend).

3. Periodic testing is needed to ensure system function is maintained (This is in agreement withChapter 6).

Gruner, Kimberly A.

This list of NFPA publications from NFPA 3 F.2.1 are much more encompassing set of documents than what isprovided in NFPA 4 C.1.1. The same list would be of value in NFPA 4, section C.1.1.


4.1.4 should be revised to state "Integrated systems function needs to be tested from the first input to the lastoutput" "End to end" is an industry term and not enforceable.


10 of 43 3/4/2016 1:31 PM

A.4.1.4

Integrated systems testing should sufficiently stress the integration to reveal any flaws. Test

scenarios should fully demonstrate proper operation of integrated systems functions on normal

power, backup power, or loss of power.

First Revision No. 14-NFPA 4-2015 [ Section No. 4.3.3 ]

4.3.3*

The integrated system test team shall have a working knowledge of the integration between systems forwhich testing is being performed.

4.3.3.1

The qualification of team members shall be as required by laws, regulations, codes, and standardsrelevant to the specific individual system.

4.3.3.2

Where no codes or standards are applicable to a system or portion of a system, the required knowledge ofteam members shall be in accordance with industry practices relevant to the particular system or portionof a system.

First Revision No. 9-NFPA 4-2015 [ Section No. A.1.1.1 ]

A.1.1

These requirements include protocol for testing procedures, responsibilities of various parties, methodsand documentation for verifying the operational readiness and sequence of integrated systems. Thestandard is designed to ensure that interconnected active and passive fire protection and life safetysystems operate as intended. It is not the intent of this standard to require implementation of emergencyresponse procedures, evacuation drills, or other exercises that require facility staff or fire departmentresponse. However, when integrated systems tests are being conducted, it can be an appropriateopportunity to practice emergency procedures or drills. The standard describes testing methods forinterconnected active and passive fire protection and life safety systems to verify the operationalreadiness and sequence of operation. Integrated systems testing includes, but is not limited to, testing thefollowing:

(1) Plan scenarios

(2) Participants and responsibilities

(3) Methods

(4) Documentation

It is not the intent of this standard to require implementation of emergency response procedures,evacuation drills, or other exercises that require facility staff or fire department response. However, whenintegrated systems tests are being conducted, it can be an appropriate opportunity to practice emergencyprocedures or drills.

This standard does not prohibit the owner of the property, building, or individual system or the owner’sdesignated representative from requiring integrated system testing by design or contractdocuments. allows a property owner or designated representative to require integrated systems testing bydesignation in either the design intent or contract documents.

For some buildings, the integrated system testing requirements of NFPA 4 can be considered satisfiedby performing the acceptance tests and the inspection, testing, and maintenance required by the NFPAstandards for the systems in a building. For example, a less complex system in smaller buildings with automatic sprinkler and fire alarm systems can meet the integrated testing requirements of NFPA 4 bymeeting the requirements of NFPA 13 , Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems , or NFPA 25 ,Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems , andNFPA 72 , National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code .

NFPA 3 is referenced as a Recommended Practice and yet the committee has presented comment to change toStandard. (Section 2.2 and C.1.1) Also CI-16 was shown in the Terra view but no associated text was complete.This is a good concept but need appropriate new title and associated text.
