Improve fire fighter protection on the job with the 2007 NFPA 1971! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new title for the 2007 edition of NFPA 1971 <\/em> reflects the fact that the Standard now incorporates requirements for proximity fire fighting protective ensembles (previously in NFPA 1976<\/em>) in addition to structural fire fighting protective ensembles. The labeling, design, performance, and testing chapters carry the respective requirements for both types of ensembles.<\/p>\n

Because fire fighters daily wear their fire fighting protective ensembles (“turnouts”) on most emergency calls and to offer departments the opportunity to provide additional limited protection to fire fighters that encounter unexpected CBRN terrorism incidents, the 2007 edition also contains new optional <\/em> provisions for CBRN (C<\/strong>hemicals, B<\/strong>iological agents, and R<\/strong>adiological particulates) protection. These new optional <\/em> requirements must be specified by the purchaser in bid solicitation and purchase specifications in order to obtain the CBRN terrorism incident protection in the certified ensemble. The optional <\/em> CBRN protection applies to both proximity fire fighting ensembles and to structural fire fighting ensembles.<\/p>\n
