Applicable to substation automation systems: defines communication between intelligent electronic devices in substation and system requirements; provides overview of standard series; refers to text and figures from other parts of IEC 61850 series.

NFPA 921 sets the bar for scientific-based investigation and analysis of fire and explosion incidents. Referenced in the field, training, and court, it is the foremost guide for rendering accurate opinions as to incident origin, cause, responsibility and prevention and is intended for use by public sector employees responsible for fire investigation and private sector professionals who conduct investigations for insurance companies or litigation purposes. All aspects of fire and explosion investigation are covered from basic methodology to collecting evidence to failure analysis.

The standard identifies the minimum levels of competence required by responders to emergencies involving hazardous materials/WMD. This standard applies to any individual or member of any organization who responds to hazardous materials/WMD incidents. This standard shall cover competencies for awareness level personnel, operations level responders, hazardous materials technicians, incident commanders, hazardous materials safety officers and other specialist employees. Outside the United States, hazardous materials might be called dangerous goods (see Annex H).

The standard identifies the minimum job performance requirements (JPRs) for career and volunteer fire fighters whose duties are primarily structural in nature.

The standard contains minimum requirements for a fire service-related occupational safety and health program.

This standard shall establish a common set of criteria for all hazards disaster/emergency management and business continuity programs, hereinafter referred to as “the program.” A.1.1 The Emergency Management and Business Continuity community comprises many different entities, including the government at distinct levels (e.g., federal, state/provincial, territorial, tribal, indigenous, and local levels); commercial business and industry; not-for-profit and nongovernmental organizations; and individual citizens.

The standard identifies and establish levels of functional capability for conducting operations at technical search and rescue incidents while minimizing threats to rescuers. This standard was developed to define levels of preparation and operational capability that should be achieved by any AHJ that has responsibility for technical rescue operations. These defined levels provide an outline of a system used to manage an incident efficiently and effectively to maximize personnel safety and bring about the successful rescue of victims and eventual termination of the event.

A resource for facts on safe response to electric and hybrid vehicle incidents involving damaged high voltage batteries, battery fires, extrication challenges, submersion, and charging stations. This document covers the vital aspects of EV/hybrid hazard awareness and procedures, including information from related NFPA codes and new consistent Moditech Rescue Solutions® vehicle diagrams.

The document provides interim guidance for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles and identifies appropriate post-crash safety measures for vehicle owners and the general public, emergency responders, and for towing/recovery operators and vehicle storage facilities.

Specifies test methods and requirements for primary and secondary (rechargeable) lithium cells and batteries to ensure their safety during transport other than for recycling or disposal. Requirements specified in this standard do not apply in those cases where special provisions given in the relevant regulations, listed in 7.3, provide exemptions. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2004, and constitutes a technical revision.
