NFPA 1150 PDF

Access knowledge and information on Class A firefighting foam chemicals with NFPA 1150.

Foam extinguishing agents and how they are used in fighting fires is always evolving. NFPA 1150, Standard on Foam Chemicals for Fires in Class A Fuels, intends to increase fire protection levels by providing comprehensive performance requirements for assessing the safety and effectiveness of these critical fire suppression products. The standard applies to foam chemicals used to control, suppress, or prevent fires in Class A fuels.

NFPA 1150 criteria covers:

• Scope and purpose of the standard, references to NFPA® and other publications, and official and general terminologies
• Characteristics and acceptance requirements, including labeling and documentation
• Test methods for exposure protection, physical properties, corrosion and materials compatibility, and health, safety, and environmental considerations

Originally created to provide a performance standard dealing with the foam chemicals used in rural areas and controlling wildland fires, NFPA 1150 also addresses structural firefighting and urban environments. The revised document offers cutting-edge provisions for Class A foam and the chemicals used to produce it.
