FAQ 06-0007 Response Section:
Proposed resolution of FAQ and the basis for the proposal:
This FAQ asks to identify, where used in NFPA 805, Chapter 3, applicable NFPA standards for review of programs structures, systems, and components as may be required for Chapter 3 transition using NFPA 805. Because existing fire protection programs for facilities generally provide a listing of NFPA standards used in the development, implementation and maintenance of the fire protection program, the term, applicable NFPA Standards, where used in NFPA 805, Chapter 3, shall be considered to be equivalent to those NFPA standards identified in the Current License Bases (CLB) for the facility (generally found in the FSAR or approved Fire Protection Program). Because these NFPA standards have been previously approved by the staff for a given facility, this further establishes their applicability.
If appropriate, provide proposed rewording of guidance for inclusion in the next Revision:
As follows; Clarification of NFPA 805 specific sections as applied under NEI 04-02, to be included in (New) Appendix K, to NEI 04-02 upon approval of specific clarification (final formatting to be provided by NEI).
Specific clarification to NFPA 805, Chapter 3, from FAQ 06-0020, Where used in NFPA 805, Chapter 3, the term, applicable NFPA Standards is considered to be equivalent to those NFPA standards identified in the current license basis (CLB) for procedures and systems in the Fire Protection Program that are transitioning to NFPA 805. New Fire Protection Systems would be subject to the most current code or standard.
