⩥ 3.2.2* Code. Answer: A standard that is an extensive compilation of
provisions covering broad subject matter or that is suitable for adoption
into law independently of other codes and standards.
⩥ 3.2.3* Guide. Answer: A document that is advisory or informative in
nature and that contains only non-mandatory provisions. A guide may
contain mandatory statements such as when a guide can be used, but the
document as a whole is not suitable for adoption into law.
⩥ 3.2.4* Recommended Practice. Answer: A document that is similar in
content and structure to a code or standard but that contains only non-
mandatory provisions using the word "should" to indicate
recommendations in the body of the text.
⩥ 3.2.5* Standard. Answer: An NFPA Standard, the main text of which
contains only mandatory provisions using the word "shall" to indicate
requirements and that is in a form generally suitable for mandatory
,reference by another standard or code or for adoption into law. Non-
mandatory provisions are not to be
considered a part of the requirements of a standard and shall be located
in an appendix, annex, footnote, informational note, or other means as
permitted in the NFPA Manual of Style.
When used in a generic sense, such as in the phrase "standards
development process" or "standards development activities," the term
"standards" includes all NFPA Standards, including
Codes, Standards, Recommended Practices, and Guides.
⩥ 3.3.1* Absolute Temperature. Answer: A temperature measured in
Kelvins (K) or Rankines (R).
⩥ 3.3.2 Accelerant. Answer: A fuel or oxidizer, often an ignitible liquid,
intentionally used to initiate a fire or increase the rate of growth or
spread of fire.
⩥ 3.3.3 Accident Answer: An unplanned event that interrupts an activity
and sometimes causes injury or damage or a chance occurrence arising
from unknown causes; an unexpected happening due to carelessness,
ignorance, and the like.
⩥ 3.3.4 Active Fire Protection System. Answer: A system that uses
moving mechanical or electrical parts to achieve a fire protection goal.
, ⩥ 3.3.5 Ambient. Answer: Someone's or something's surroundings,
especially
as they pertain to the local environment; for example, ambient air and
ambient temperature.
⩥ 3.3.6 Ampacity. Answer: The maximum current, in amperes, that a
conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without
exceeding its temperature rating. [70, Article 100]
⩥ 3.3.7 Ampere. Answer: The unit of electric current that is equivalent
to a flow of one coulomb per second; one coulomb is defined as 6.24 ×
1018 electrons.
⩥ 3.3.8 Arc. Answer: A high-temperature luminous electric discharge
across a gap or through a medium such as charred insulation.
⩥ 3.3.9 Arc Mapping. Answer: The systematic evaluation of the
electrical
circuit configuration, spatial relationship of the circuit components, and
identification of electrical arc sites to assist in the identification of the
area of origin and analysis of the fire's spread.
⩥ 3.3.10 Arc Site. Answer: The location on a conductor with localized
damage that resulted from an electrical arc.
