Installation

A.1.1 This standard provides a range of sprinkler system approaches, design development alternatives, and component options that are all acceptable. Building owners and their designated representatives are advised to carefully evaluate proposed selections for appropriateness and preference. 1.1.1 This standard shall provide the minimum requirements for the design and installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems and exposure protection sprinkler systems covered within this standard.

A.1.1 The following is a suggested procedure for determining the Code requirements for a building or structure: (1) Determine the occupancy classification by referring to the occupancy definitions in Chapter 6 and the occupancy Chapters 12 through 42. (See 6.1.14 for buildings withmore than one use.) (2) Determine if the building or structure is new or existing. (See the definitions in Chapter 3.) (3) Determine the occupant load. (See 7.3.1.) (4) Determine the hazard of contents. (See Section 6.2.) (5) Refer to the applicable occupancy chapter of the Code, Chapters 12 through 42.

A.1.1 The Code does not address features that solely affect economic loss to private property. 1.1.1 General. The Code addresses those construction, protection, and occupancy features necessary to minimize danger to life and property. 1.1.2 Code Title. The provisions of this document shall constitute and be known as NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code, hereinafter referred to as “this Code” or “the Code.”

Wiring methods. The provisions of this section do not apply to conductors that are an integral part of factory-assembled equipment.

This standard specifies the type, production, and commissioning tests that shall be performed to demonstrate that the interconnection functions and equipment of a distributed resource (DR) conform to IEEE Standard P1547; Interconnection equipment that connects distributed resources (DR) to an electric power system (EPS) must meet the requirements specified in IEEE Standard P1547. Standardized test procedures are necessary to establish and verify compliance with those requirements.

IEEE Std 1547.2-2008 provides application details to support the understanding of IEEE Std 1547-2003 and is intended to serve DR owners and operators as well as area EPS staff. It provides technical background, application details and guidance, requirements rationale, schematics, and examples to facilitate the use of IEEE std 1547-2003. This guide addresses some topics that are related to DR project implementation to enhance user understanding of how IEEE Std 1547-2003 may relate.

Withdrawn standard. This recommended practice contains application guidelines and procedures for the interconnection and compatible operation of a SWECS with electric utilities. It addresses the interface between the wind system and the utility and the factors relating to equipment protection, power quality, and the safety of operating personnel and the general public.

Withdrawn Standard

This Code sets the minimum conditions that a distributor must meet in carrying out its obligations to distribute electricity under its licence and the Energy Competition Act, 1998. Unless otherwise stated in the licence or Code, these conditions apply to all transactions and interactions between a distributor and all retailers, generators, distributors, transmitters and consumers of electricity who use the distributor’s distribution system.
