NFPA 88A Standard for Parking Structures 2007 Edition This edition of NFPA88A, Standard for Parking Structures, was prepared by the Technical Com- mitt
25、eeonGaragesandParkingStructures.ItwasissuedbytheStandardsCouncilonJuly28,2006, with an effective date ofAugust 17, 2006, and supersedes all previous editions. ThiseditionofNFPA88AwasapprovedasanAmericanNationalStandardonAugust17,2006. Origin and Development of NFPA 88A Work on fire protection safegu
26、ards for garages was initiated by the NFPA in 1927 with the appointment of a committee. After extensive deliberations and the publication of successive drafts, a standard was adopted in 1932. Subsequently, the committee was discharged when it appeared that no further activity was needed in this fiel
27、d. In 1952, the present committee was created.This committee prepared a number of redrafts of the 1932 text, and in 1957 a revised NFPA 88, Standard for Garages, was adopted. Revisions were made in 1962, 1968, 1979, 1985, 1995, and 1998. In order to treat separately the occupancies of repair garages
28、 and parking structures, NFPA 88A and NFPA 88B, Standard for Repair Garages, were published separately in 1973. In 1991, partial revisions were made to this standard, and the 1995 edition contained editorial changes. The 1998 edition contained definitions clarifying the various configura- tions of p
29、arking structures. It also contained changes increasing the area of office space related to the parking structure and further clarified the requirements for vertical opening protection and automatic sprinkler installation.That edition also included new requirements for natural gas powered vehicles.
30、The2002editioncontainedprimarilyeditorialrevisionsforcompliancewiththeManualof Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents, and listed metric units of measurement as the primary units. Inthe2007edition,theCommitteehasrewrittenthedefinitionofOpenParkingStructure to comply with the Manual of Style fo
31、r NFPA Technical Committee Documents and moved the requirements to a new 4.7.1. The NFPA 220 definition of Noncombustible Material has been adopted in place of the one used in the previous edition. Definitions have been added to recognize the emergence of mechanical parking structures where cars are
32、 moved to parking places by lifts or other devices instead of being driven. No specific requirements have been added, although they might be necessary in the next edition. Lastly, the committee has clarified the use of vehicle ramps in 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. 88A1 Copyright National Fire Protection Associa

In determining the acceptability of installations, procedures, equipment, or materials, the author- ity having jurisdiction may base acceptance on compliance
35、with NFPA or other appropriate standards. In the absence of such standards, said authority may require evidence of proper installation, procedure, or use. The authority having jurisdic- tion may also refer to the listings or labeling practices of an organization that is concerned with product evalua
36、tions and is thus in a position to determine compliance with appropriate standards for the current production of listed items A.3.2.2 Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The phrase “au- thority having jurisdiction,” or its acronym AHJ, is used in NFPA documents in a broad manner, since jurisdiction
37、s and approvalagenciesvary,asdotheirresponsibilities.Wherepub- lic safety is primary, the authority having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local, or other regional department or indi- vidual such as a fire chief; fire marshal; chief of a fire preven- tion bureau, labor department, or health de
38、partment; build- ing official; electrical inspector; or others having statutory authority.Forinsurancepurposes,aninsuranceinspectionde- partment, rating bureau, or other insurance company repre- sentative may be the authority having jurisdiction. In many circumstances, the property owner or his or h
39、er designated agent assumes the role of the authority having jurisdiction; at government installations, the commanding officer or depart- mental official may be the authority having jurisdiction. A.3.2.4 Listed. The means for identifying listed equipment may vary for each organization concerned with
40、 product evalu- ation; some organizations do not recognize equipment as listed unless it is also labeled. The authority having jurisdic- tion should utilize the system employed by the listing organi- zation to identify a listed product. A.3.3.2 Parking Structure. Aparking structure is permitted to b
41、e enclosed or open, use ramps, and use mechanical control push-button-type elevators to transfer vehicles from one floor to another. Motor vehicles are permitted to be parked by the driver or an attendant or are permitted to be parked mechani- cally by automatic facilities. Where mechanical type par
42、king is provided, the operator of those facilities is permitted either to remain at the entry level or to travel to another level. Motor fuel is permitted to be dispensed, and motor vehicles are per- mitted to be serviced in a parking structure in accordance with NFPA 30A. 88A7ANNEX A 2007 Edition C
