Statement: written, the requirement for mechanical emergency ventilation system applies to "an enclosed system
station" (as opposed to an "enclosed station" per definition in Chapter 3). A mechanical emergency
ventilation system is not required for "an open system station" (as opposed to an "open station" as
defined). The current text, when applied literally by an AHJ, can lead to significant ambiguity. It is not
clear from current text in 7.1.2.2.(1) and 7.1.2.3.(1) if the intent of NFPA 130 is to refer to an open or
enclosed station on a transit system OR to a station on an open or enclosed transit system.

Committee Statement
Committee In the 2014 edition adhesives and sealants were added to the list of materials to be tested to ASTM
Statement: E162 and ASTM E662. Omitted in error from this change was the addition of notes a (prohibition
flame dripping and running) and b (testing for smoke emission in both the flaming and non-flaming
modes). Because of the various areas in the car the adhesive or sealant can be used, if flame
running and dripping is not prohibited the flame running or dripping can add to the propagation of the
fire to other materials in the car. Adding this note to the adhesives and sealants is consistent with the
requirements of other materials in Table 8.4.1. The inclusion of note b insures that smoke emissions
in both modes are reported and evaluated. This also is consistent with the requirements for other
materials in Table 8.4.1.

National Fire Protection Association Report http://submittals.nfpa.org/TerraViewWeb/ContentFetcher?commentPara...
Criteria for noise levels should be established for the various situations and potential exposures particular
to the environments addressed by this standard. The intent of the recommended criteria is to maintain at
least a minimal level of speech intelligibility along emergency evacuation routes. This might require
additional noise control measures and acoustical treatment to achieve. Exceptions taken to the
recommended noise levels for reasons of cost and feasibility should be as few and as slight as reasonably
possible. For example, local area exceptions to the recommended acoustic criteria could be required to be
applied for defined limited distances along the evacuation path that are near active noise sources. Other
means of providing emergency evacuation guidance using acoustic, nonacoustic, or combined methods
might be considered. Recommendations Starting points for noise criteria for various design scenarios
are as should be considered as follows:
(1) In general, noise levels should not exceed the following: Where reliance on unamplified speech is
used as part of the emergency response inside a tunnel, the speech interference level (SIL) during
emergency response from all active systems measured along the path of evacuation at any point
1.52 m (5 ft) above the walking surface should not exceed 78 dBZ L eq slow over any period of 1
minute, using the arithmetic average of unweighted sound pressure level in the 500, 1000, 2000 and
4000 Hz octave bands.
During emergency response, the sound pressure level from all active systems measured
inside a tunnel along the path of evacuation at any point 5 ft (1.52 m) above the walking
surface should not exceed 94 dBA L eq low for a period of 1 hour and should at no time
exceed 140 dBZ peak [ISO 1999, EU Directive 2003/10/EC, and Canada Occupational Safety
and Health Regulations, SOR/86-304, Part VII )].
The sound pressure level from all active systems measured where staff would be present for
maintenance and testing and where hearing protection is not available should not exceed 85
dBA TWA slow for a period of 8 hours and should at no time exceed 140 dBZ peak [29 CFR
1910.95 (OSHA)].
(2) Where reliance on unamplified speech is used as part of the emergency response, during
emergency response, the sound interference level (SIL) from all active systems measured inside a
tunnel along the path of evacuation at any point 5 ft (1.52 m) above the walking surface should not
exceed 78 dBZ L eq slow over any period of 1 minute, using the arithmetic average of
un-weighted sound pressure level in the 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz octave bands For intelligible
communication between emergency evacuation responders and the public, where reliance on
amplified speech is used as part of the emergency response within a station, refer to NFPA 72 .
(3) For intelligible communication between emergency evacuation responders and the public where
reliance upon amplified speech is used as part of the emergency response within a station the
following applies: Where reliance on amplified speech is used as part of the emergency response
within a tunnel, the sound pressure level from all active systems measured inside a tunnel along the
path of evacuation at any point 1.52 m (5 ft) above the walking surface should be designed to
support speech intelligibility of fixed voice communication systems to achieve a measured STI of not
less than 0.45 (0.65 CIS) and an average STI of not less than 0.5 (0.7 CIS) as per D.2.4.1 of NFPA
72 . Refer to Annex D of NFPA 72 for further information on speech intelligibility for voice
communication systems.
During emergency response, the sound pressure level from all active systems measured
inside a station along the path of evacuation at any point 5 ft (1.52 m) above the walking
surface where a voice communication system is intended to be used should not exceed the
higher of 70 dBA L eq slow measured over any 1 minute period or 10 dB below the
measured voice communication system sound pressure level in the octave bands greater
than 63 Hz with a steady-state red noise input signal set to the maximum A-weighted setting
of the voice communication system (if the voice communication system has an ambient
sensing microphone).
The speech intelligibility of voice communication systems under the same conditions and for
the same spaces should achieve a measured STI of not less than 0.45 (0.65 CIS) and an
average STI of not less than 0.5 (0.7 CIS) as per D.2.4.1 of NFPA 72 . Refer to Annex D of
NFPA 72 for further information on speech intelligibility for voice communication systems.
The STI criterion is more stringent than the noise level limit and might require additional noise
control measures and acoustical treatment to achieve.
Where reliance upon amplified speech is used as part of the emergency response within a tunnel,

Committee Statement
Committee Second draft proposal removed the entire First Draft proposal which was found to have merit.
Statement: Annex B.2.1.5 as proposed in the First Draft contained excessive prescriptive requirements that
would have caused concerns if adopted into legislation. The modified text as adopted addresses
