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.
A system mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5) that provides a consistent nationwide approach for federal, state, local, and tribal governments; the private sector; and nongovernmental organizations to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity.
Industry:Fire safety
A system into which liquefied hydrogen is delivered and stored and from which it is discharged in the liquid or gaseous form to a piping system. The system originates at the storage container fill connection and terminates at the point where hydrogen at service pressure first enters the supply line.
Industry:Fire safety
A system intended to provide protection of equipment from damaging line-to-ground fault currents by operating to cause a disconnecting means to open all ungrounded conductors of the faulted circuit. This protection is provided at current levels less than those required to protect conductors from damage through the operation of a supply circuit overcurrent device.

Industry:Fire safety
A system intended to page one or more persons by such means as voice over loudspeaker, coded audible signals or visible signals, or lamp annunciators.
Industry:Fire safety
A system in which the hydrogen is delivered, stored, and discharged in the gaseous form to a piping system. The gaseous hydrogen system terminates at the point where hydrogen at service pressure first enters the distribution piping.
Industry:Fire safety
A system in which the hazard is equipped with fixed discharge outlets connected to piping that terminates at a safe distance.
Industry:Fire safety
A system in which the grounded (white) and ungrounded conductors are connected identically in relation to all terminals or fixture leads on all devices in the circuit, including the shore power connections.
Industry:Fire safety
A system in which the grounded (negative) and ungrounded (positive) conductors are connected identically in relation to all terminals or leads on all devices in the circuit.
Industry:Fire safety
A system in which the fuel is pulverized and stored in bins from which it is withdrawn through feeders, as needed, for burning.
