gives off vapor within a test vessel in sufficient concentration to
form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid.
4.12. Grounding (earthing)– the act of providing a conductive path for
static electricity to leave a container and flow to ground, thus
minimizing the potential for static spark.
4.13. Hydrostatic Testing – Testing to find undetected internal corrosion,
external corrosion, damage caused by rough handling, repeated
pressurizations, manufacturing flaws in the construction, improper
assembly of valves, or the exposure of the extinguisher to abnormal
heat as from exposure in a fire.
7/5/2019
4.14. Inside Storage Room – interior room specifically designed to store

large quantities of flammable liquids.

7/5/2019
7. Action Steps
7.1. Storage and Handling of Flammable/Combustible Liquids

7.1.1. Site to develop proper storage, handling, and
housekeeping procedures for flammable and combustible
liquids that will afford full compliance with federal
regulations. U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 – “Flammable
and Combustible Liquids”. Reference 3.1.2 is the primary
reference that is to be used to develop these procedures.
The list below is a quick summary of the subparts
(sections) of that standard:
7.1.2. Subpart (b) – Tank Storage. Covers design, construction,
and installation of above and below ground tanks. See
Exhibit 9.6 for more detail.
7.1.3. Subpart (c) – Piping, valves and fittings. Covers design,
construction, assembly, and testing of all piping systems
containing flammable or combustible liquids. See Exhibit
9.7 for more detail.
7.1.4. Subpart (d) – Container and portable tank storage. This
section has the most impact within Pioneer. Covers
storage of containers of flammable and combustible liquids
in drums or other containers <60 gallons (227 liters)
individual capacity and portable tanks not exceeding 660
gallons (2,498 liters) individual capacity. Addresses
flammable liquid cabinets, inside storage rooms, indoor and
outdoor storage, electrical classifications, containment, etc.
See Exhibit 9.8 for more detail.
7.1.5. Subpart (e) – Industrial plants. This section applies to
Pioneer, since use of flammables and combustible liquids
is incidental to our principal business. Covers proper
storage of flammables/combustibles, fire control, electrical
classifications, housekeeping, etc. See Exhibit 9.9 for
more detail.
7.1.6. Subparts (f), (g), (h), and (i) do not apply to Pioneer.
7.1.7. Section (j) lists some exceptions to compliance with this
standard – most notably bulk transportation of flammable
liquids.
7.1.8. See Exhibit 9.5 for a summary of storage and handling
guidelines for flammable materials.
Enter information here regarding the location procedures for flammable liquid
storage and handling.
7/5/2019
7.2. Fire Doors and Walls

7.2.1. Given the fact that most Pioneer locations do not have
sprinkler protection, the idea of keeping a potential fire
segregated to a small area is very important. This
segregation is primarily done by either separating buildings
or by installing firewalls and doors.
7.2.2. Firewalls can usually be identified by having masonry
construction that usually extends through the ceiling, but
may also be carried up tightly against the underside of a
non-combustible roof deck.
7.2.3. Fire doors can be identified by a small plate or tag (usually
located on the hinge side of the door itself, on the
doorframe, or on the door mechanism) that states the fire
resistance rating (in hours) of that door.
7.2.4. Self closing fire doors shall have fusible links (or other
activation methods) located on both sides of the wall that
the door is placed in.
7.2.5. Fire doors shall not be blocked or obstructed.
7.2.6. Sites shall identify and label all firewalls and all fire doors
located in those firewalls.
7.2.7. Fire walls are to be designated on the site evacuation
maps.
7.2.8. Site shall seal all unprotected penetrations in fire walls and
ensure that all future work keeps the integrity of the fire wall
and fire doors intact.
7.2.9. Site shall conduct monthly visual inspections of all fire
doors and annual visual inspections of firewalls and annual
operational checks of all fire doors. Use Record 8.1 and
Record 8.2 (or equivalent) to document these inspections
and tests.
Define here where fire door/wall inspection records are kept.
7.3. Fire Detection and Alarm Systems

7.3.1. All Pioneer locations (both owned and leased) should have
supervised fire detection/alarm systems installed in all
normally occupied buildings.
7.3.2. Locations that have a fire detection/alarm system installed
should have a file available that contains pertinent
information about the system, such as the electrical prints,
technical cut sheets or parts listing, a brief description of
how the system is zoned, etc.
7/5/2019
7.3.3. Locations with fire detection/alarm systems which are tied

to the Pioneer Emergency Response Center in Johnston,
Iowa, shall provide Johnston security with the name and
phone number of the fire department they are to notify in
the event that the system is activated, as well as a listing of
site employees that are to be notified in conjunction with
the fire department notice. This shall be updated annually
as per Section 7.13.
7.3.4. Locations with fire detection/alarm systems that are tied in
to an outside monitoring service shall annually confirm that
the monitoring service has the correct phone numbers and
that the location call list is current.
7.3.5. Fire detection/alarm systems shall be periodically tested.
(Fully supervised systems require an annual test; other
systems may require that more frequent testing be
performed). See Exhibit 9.11 for the testing requirements
associated with fire detection systems. Use Record 8.3 or
equivalent to document these inspections.
7.3.6. Locations that do not have any type of fire detection system
installed should at least have several smoke detectors
installed to provide some degree of early warning to the
building occupants.
Define here (if applicable) where the fire alarm file is located and whether or not it
is tied into JH Security. If not tied in with JH Security, list the monitoring
company’s name.
List where the alarm system inspection records are kept, who performs that
inspection and the inspection schedule.
7.4. Fire Suppression Systems

7.4.1. Locations with fire suppression systems should have a
central file containing sprinkler information (sprinkler
density, water demand, foam composition, valve, trim
information, etc.) and shall follow the inspection and test
procedures set forth by the local authority having
jurisdiction (AHJ).
7.4.2. Locations with fire suppression systems shall ensure
required periodic inspections and testing are conducted.
See definition of Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
(ITM) in the Definitions section. ITM templates are on the
Fire Prevention webpage and explain requirements for the
following types of systems found at Pioneer: Locations
shall use the following documents which contain checklists
7/5/2019
for each type of system, and document all inspections,

testing, and maintenance on each required checklist (or
equivalent).
7.4.3. Water-Based Fire Suppression Systems – This document
gives a background of water-based systems, which
comprise most fire protection systems at Pioneer.

7.5. Fire Protection Systems and PSM

7.5.1. DuPont SHE Standard S21A – Process Safety
Management (PSM) – differentiates between High Hazard
Processes (HHP) and Low Hazard Operations (LHO). For
many elements of PSM, there are differences in the
7/5/2019
requirements and recommendations. However, in the case

of fire protection systems, there is only one significant
difference.
7.5.2. The Design Documentation, Quality Assurance, and
Mechanical Integrity, and all other requirements in S21A
are the same for fire protection systems whether they are
designed PSM critical or not. The exception is the
requirement to include a fire protection equipment review
as a part of an HHP area cyclical PHA.
7.5.3. S21A requires the design basis for fire protection systems
to be documented for both HHPs and LHOs. See S21A,
A.1.2.3.1 and B.1.2.3.1.
7.5.4. S21A also requires that the Quality Assurance Program for
both HHPs and LHOs include fire protection systems. See
S21A, A.11.2 and B.11.2.
7.5.5. In addition, S21A requires that the Mechanical Integrity
effort (i.e., equipment inspection, test, and maintenance
program) for both HHPs and LHOs include fire protection
equipment. See A.12.2.4 and B.12.2.4.
7.5.6. S24A, B.6, states: “Fire protection systems directly
associated with PSM critical process areas, including
sprinklers, deluge systems, fire water supply, storage,
pumping, and piping distribution systems”, should be PSM
critical. S24A, B.5 includes emergency alarm systems.
Fire protection systems that are designated PSM critical
must be reviewed as a part of the 5-year cyclical Process
Hazards Analysis required for HHPs.
7.5.7. DuPont has adopted the following National Fire Protection
Association Codes and Standards for the design,
installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire
protection systems:
7.5.8. NFPA 13 – Installation of Sprinkler Systems
7.5.8.1. NFPA 25 – Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems
7.5.8.2. NFPA 72 – National Fire Alarm Code
7.5.8.3. Compliance with the mandatory provisions of
these documents meets the requirements of S21A
and S24A. The NFPA codes are applied equally
to HHPs and LHOs.
7.5.8.4. Mobile fire apparatus is not considered PSM
critical, however, the capabilities and adequacy of
mobile apparatus and the emergency response
procedures to employ them should be reviewed as
part of the cyclical fire protection audits.
7.6. Portable Fire Extinguishers
7/5/2019
7.6.1. Each location shall have fire extinguishers distributed so

that the travel distance to any extinguisher is 75 feet (22.8
meters) or less and have at least one extinguisher per
11,250 square feet (1,045 square meters) of floor area.
7.6.2. When possible, extinguishers should be placed by EXIT
doors or in close proximity to fire alarm pull boxes.
7.6.3. Extinguishers should be rated for A, B, and C class fires.
Flammable liquid storage areas may utilize B:C rated dry
chemical extinguishers in place of A-B:C units.
7.6.4. Electrical control rooms and computer rooms should have
ABC dry chemical extinguishers placed in them, but Halon
or Carbon Dioxide extinguishers may also be used.
7.6.5. Extinguishers must be properly sized to afford at least 1
unit of “A” for every 1,500 square feet (140 square meters)
of floor area that is to be covered by that extinguisher.
Example: a typical 5 pound (2.3 kg) ABC rated
extinguisher carries a “3-A” rating. This extinguisher is
sufficient to cover 4,500 square feet (418 square meters).
Coverage of an area larger than this would either require
an extra extinguisher or a larger unit with a higher “A”
rating.
NOTE: This requirement does not apply to areas where
B:C only extinguishers have been placed in addition to A-
B:C units.
7.6.6. When permanently mounted to a wall or other fixed
structure, the top of the extinguisher should be
approximately 42 inches (107 cm) off the floor.
7.6.7. Fire extinguishers shall not be blocked.
7.6.8. Site should have a listing or map showing fire extinguisher
locations.
7.6.9. Site shall perform all required inspections for fire
extinguishers:
7.6.9.1. Monthly visual inspection. Refer to Exhibit 9.2.
Document this inspection on Record 8.4 or
equivalent.
7.6.9.2. Annual maintenance inspection. Refer to Exhibit
9.3. (Use of the fire service vendors’ tag or sticker
is sufficient documentation.)
7.6.9.3. Periodic hydrostatic testing. Refer to Exhibit 9.3.
(Use of the fire service vendors’ tag or sticker is
sufficient documentation of this test).
7.6.9.4. Six year maintenance for stored pressure
extinguishers. Refer to Exhibit 9.3. (Use of the
fire service vendors’ tag or sticker is sufficient
documentation of this test).
7/5/2019
Location to list here how the monthly inspections are documented and
where that documentation is kept, who performs the annual inspections,
and hydrostatic testing, and how those records are kept.
7.7. Fire Evacuation Plan

7.7.1. Each location is required to have an Fire Evacuation Plan
in place. The plan shall identify how employees will be
notified of a fire, gathering points, etc. Refer to Pioneer
“Emergency Planning and Response” safety program for
more detail.
7.8. Fire Department Visits

7.8.1. Location should arrange for the local Fire Department(s) to
periodically tour the facility to familiarize themselves with
the site layout and location of flammables.
7.8.2. Locations should supply the nearest Fire Department(s)
with a map of the plant layout, including building numbers,
location of any firefighting equipment, utility connections
(gas , electric, etc.), and where hazardous materials are
stored.
7.8.3. When required by local codes or by the local fire
marshal/chief, Hazardous Material Identification Guide
Labels (NFPA diamonds) shall be affixed above the
exterior doors on buildings that contain hazardous
materials. NFPA labels should reflect the cumulative
highest hazard ratings of all of the materials stored inside.
7.9. Housekeeping
7.9.1. Location shall set up a housecleaning schedule specifically
for heat producing systems and equipment (motors,
heaters, burners, etc.) to prevent an excessive
accumulation of dusts or other materials on that equipment
that could lead to overheating and an ignition of that
accumulated material.
7.9.2. Location shall follow good overall housekeeping practices
to minimize accumulations of flammable or combustible
materials. See Exhibit 9.4.for a list of housekeeping
techniques.
Site to define here housekeeping policies or procedures.
7.10. Pallet and ProBox® Storage

7.10.1. Besides flammable and combustible liquids, the greatest
fire risk in most Pioneer locations is the storage of empty
pallets and ProBox® containers inside of our buildings.
7/5/2019
7.10.2. Empty pallets and ProBox® containers should be stored in

a designated building that is segregated from all other
buildings, or outdoors away from other buildings.
7.10.3. If a location chooses to store empty pallets and ProBox®
containers inside buildings that share common spaces with
other parts of the facility, that location shall implement a
Hot Works program that addresses the proper steps to be
taken to minimize the chance of an ignition source reaching
those pallets or ProBox® containers.
Site to enter information regarding designated pallet or ProBox storage areas (if
applicable).
7.11. LP Gas – Fork Truck Cylinder Storage and Fixed LP Tanks

7.11.1. Locations should store all full fork truck LP cylinders
outdoors at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from any building
when possible, however, current U.S. regulations allow up
to 300 pounds (136 kg) of LP gas (9 standard fork truck
cylinders) to be stored indoors in one fire area.
7.11.2. All fork truck LP cylinders (both full and empty) shall be
stored in a location that is away from any egress paths,
properly guarded from equipment damage, and the
cylinders must be properly secured.
7.11.3. Changing of fork truck LP cylinders should take place
outdoors whenever possible.
7.11.4. Locations that fill their own fork truck LP cylinders shall
follow all DOT requirements pertaining to inspections and
hydrostatic testing of those cylinders.
7.11.5. Fixed LP tanks shall be placed according to NFPA 58,
Table 3.2.2.2.
7.11.6. A quick summary of Table 3.2.2.2 is that LP tanks <125
gallons (473 liters) can be placed directly adjacent to a
building. Tanks 126-500 gallons (477-1,893 liters) must be
placed at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from any buildings.
Tanks 501-2000 gallons (1,897-7,571 liters) must be
placed at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) away from any
buildings.
7.11.7. LP tanks should have the pressure relief valves visually
inspected every year, and those valves should be replaced
every 10 years (or as recommended by the tank
manufacturer).

MONTHLY FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

(Exhibit 9.2)
U.S. OSHA regulation 1910.157 states that “the employer shall assure that portable
fire extinguishers are maintained in a fully charged and operable condition and kept
in their designated places at all times.” We can break down this paragraph into the
following steps to cover during a monthly fire extinguisher inspection:
1. Fire extinguishers are in their assigned place.

2. Fire extinguishers are plainly visible, not blocked or hidden by materials
or equipment.
3. Fire extinguishers are mounted in accordance with NFPA Standard No.
10 (Portable Fire Extinguisher).
 Fire extinguisher is mounted between 3 and 5 feet (.9 and 1.5 meters)
off the floor.
 Fire extinguisher can be easily removed from the mounting.
4. Pressure gauges show adequate pressure – the arrow is within the green,
“charged” range on the dial.
 Note: For carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers, these must be weighed
to determine if leakage has occurred.
5. Pin and seals are in place.
6. Fire extinguisher shows no visual sign of damage, abuse or corrosion.
7. Nozzles are free of blockage.
Any employee familiar with these items may perform the monthly visual inspection.
No specific training or knowledge is required by the regulation.
A record that the monthly inspection has been performed must be kept. There are a
couple of different ways to meet this requirement. Fire extinguishers supplied and
serviced by an outside vendor are typically tagged to show when the annual
inspection was completed. One side of this tag allows for recording the monthly
inspection. The inspector can enter the date the inspection was completed and sign
their name.
A location could choose to use a separate log sheet which lists each fire
extinguisher. The log sheet must have the inspector’s signature and monthly date as
to when each extinguisher was inspected. Another option could be to use a bar code
system in which each extinguisher is assigned a bar code. A hand-held scanner is
then used to identify the fire extinguisher location and allows the inspector to enter
the inspection date and note any deficiencies. The information is then printed or
uploaded to a computer for record keeping.
Regardless of the manner in which the inspection is documented, the monthly

inspection record must be maintained for one year.
7/5/2019
FIRE EXTINGUISHER MAINTENANCE

& HYDRO TEST INSTRUCTIONS
(Exhibit 9.3)
Annual Maintenance Inspections.

Fire extinguisher maintenance should be done annually or more often if conditions
warrant. An annual maintenance inspection of a stored pressure extinguisher involves a
thorough inspection of each extinguisher part to ensure it is working properly. The
inspector should tag each extinguisher to show when the annual inspection was
performed and then replace the seal and pin on the extinguisher handle. The
extinguisher tag will serve as a record the inspection was completed and no other
documentation is needed. If the inspector does not tag each extinguisher, a separate
record of the annual inspection will need to be kept.
6 Year Maintenance For Stored Pressure Extinguishers.

Every 6 years, stored-pressure fire extinguishers that require a 12-year hydrostatic test
shall be emptied and subjected to the applicable maintenance procedures. The removal
of agent from Halon agent fire extinguishers shall only be done using a listed Halon
closed recovery system. When the applicable maintenance procedures are performed
during periodic recharging or hydrostatic testing, the 6-year requirement shall begin from
that date.
Exception: Nonrechargeable fire extinguishers shall not be hydrostatically tested but
shall be removed from service at a maximum interval of 12 years from the date of
manufacture.
Periodic Hydrostatic Testing.

A hydrostatic test of portable fire extinguishers is done to protect against unexpected in-
service failure of the cylinder. This could be caused by internal corrosion, external
corrosion, damage from abuse, or other wear with the pressurized cylinder. Hydrostatic
testing must be performed by a trained professional who has the proper test equipment.
U.S. OSHA requires hydrostatic testing of portable fire extinguishers according to the
following schedule:
Types of Extinguishers Test Interval (Years)

Stored pressure water and/or antifreeze 5
Dry chemical with stainless steel shell 5
Dry chemical, stored pressure, with mild steel,
brazed brass, or aluminum shell 12
Dry chemical, cartridge or cylinder operated,
with mild steel shell 12
Halon 1211 12
Dry powder, cartridge or cylinder operated
with mild steel shells 12
Carbon Dioxide 5
The company servicing the extinguishers can determine when hydrostatic tests are
needed for each type of extinguisher.

FIRE PREVENTION HOUSEKEEPING TECHNIQUES

(Exhibit 9.4)
The following are housekeeping techniques and procedures to prevent fire occurrences:
 Keep storage and working areas free of trash.

 Place oily rags in covered containers and dispose of daily.
 Use noncombustible oil-absorbing materials for sweeping floors consisting of
sawdust or some other organic material.
 Dispose of materials in noncombustible containers that are emptied daily.
 Remove accumulation of combustible dust.
 Follow proper storage and handling procedures.
 Ensure combustible materials are present only in quantities required for the work
operation.
 Ensure that if a worker's clothing becomes contaminated with flammable liquids,
these individuals change their clothing before continuing to work.
 Post "No Smoking" signs near the storage areas.
 Report any hazardous condition, such as old wiring, worn insulation and broken
electrical equipment, to the supervisor.
 Keep motors clean and in good working order.
 Don't overload electrical outlets.
 Ensure all equipment is turned off at the end of the work day.
 Use the safest cleaning solvents (nonflammable and nontoxic) when cleaning
electrical equipment.
 Ensure that all passageways and fire doors are unobstructed. Stairwell doors shall
never be propped open, and materials shall not be stored in stairwells.
 Periodically remove over-spray residue from walls, floors, and ceilings of paint spray
booths and ventilation ducts.
 Remove contaminated paint spray booth filters from the building as soon as
replaced, or keep immersed in water until disposed.
 Don't allow materials to block automatic sprinkler systems or to be piled around fire
extinguisher locations. To obtain the proper distribution of water, a minimum of 18
inches of clear space must be maintained below sprinkler deflectors. If there are no
sprinklers, a 3 foot (.9 meter) clearance between piled material and the ceiling must
be maintained to permit use of hose streams. These distances must be doubled
when stock is piled higher than 15 feet (4.6 meters).
 Check daily for any discarded lumber, broken pallets, or pieces of material stored on
site and remove properly.
 Re-pile immediately any pile of material which falls into an aisle or clear space.
 Use weed killers that do not pose a fire hazard.
 Keep brush and weeds mowed down around any buildings, LP tanks or flammable
liquid tanks.
 Have designated receptacles or procedures for disposing of spent fumigation
materials.
7/5/2019
STORAGE AND HANDLING GUIDELINES

FOR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
(Exhibit 9.5)
The following are guidelines for establishing proper storage and handling
procedures for flammable materials:
 Store all flammable material away from ignition sources.

 Store material so that adequate clearance is maintained away from heating
surfaces, air ducts, heaters, flue pipes and lighting fixtures.
 Make sure all containers are properly labeled.
 If feasible, store pallets outside or in separate buildings to reduce fire
hazards.
 Store piles of combustible materials away from buildings and locate them
apart from each other.
 Store large quantities of flammable/combustible liquid containers in a
separate building, room, or enclosure.
 Store small quantities of flammable/combustible liquids in flammable storage
cabinets.
 Either use safety cans to dispense flammable/combustible liquids, or use
proper grounding and bonding techniques.
 Use only approved containers to store flammable and combustible liquids
(see table below).
 When handling flammable/combustible liquids make sure there is adequate
ventilation, so that vapors do not build up.
 Do not use gasoline or other flammable solvents to finish or clean floors.
 Don't refuel gasoline-powered equipment in a confined space, especially in
the presence of equipment such as furnaces or water heaters.
 Don't refuel gasoline-powered equipment while it is hot.
 Clean up any spill of flammable liquids immediately.

7/5/2019
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM INSPECTIONS

(Exhibit 9.10)
Locations with “Pioneer installed” fire detection/alarm systems:
Most locations with fire detection/alarm systems installed by the Corporate

Services “Facilities Systems” group will have those systems inspected and tested
annually by the Facilities Systems group. The Facilities Systems group will set
the schedule and will generally notify the location a few days before they will
arrive. There are no actions required of the location before the Facilities
Systems group arrives. The Facilities Systems group will conduct all of the
required inspections and tests and will leave behind a check sheet (usually with
either the location manager or maintenance leader) documenting the inspections
and tests that were completed. This service is completed at no cost to the
location.
Locations with “Pioneer installed” fire detection/alarm systems in the

states of WA, ID, NC, PA, HI, and locations in Canada and Puerto Rico, or
locations with fire detection/alarm systems that were not installed by
Pioneer:
The locations listed above are impractical for the Facilities Systems group to
conduct the annual inspections and tests, therefore, local contractors must be
utilized. The Facilities Systems group (or location) has either already developed,
or is in the process of developing, a listing of local contractors that are qualified
to perform the work. Each location in the states listed above will have to arrange
with these local contractors for the required inspection and testing. If there are
any questions as to the scope of work that is required from the local contractors,
the Facilities Systems group will work with the location in developing or reviewing
the contract. Make sure that the contractors that are utilized leave behind
documentation of the inspection/test. The local contractors fees are picked up by
the location.
Locations with “Pioneer installed” 4180 panels:
Contact Pioneer Facilities Systems group to see if your location utilizes any 4180
dialers. If so, the alarm horns in those areas must be visually inspected twice per
year. The Facilities Systems group (or local contractor) will perform one of these
inspections during the annual testing, so the location must conduct the other
visual inspection. The inspection involves visually making sure that the alarm
horns are still in place and not obviously damaged or altered (no exposed wires,
case is intact, no paper stuffed in the horn, etc). The location can use whatever
means they wish to document this visual inspection.
7/5/2019
Demand Testing
(Exhibit 9.11)
“Demand Test” is a test performed on the fire system to determine if the site
water supply system can provide enough water to meet the largest Fire Water
Demand.
Test Requirements
 Need to know the site largest Fire Water Demand
o Sprinkler System
 Ceiling
 In Rack
 Hose Allowance
o Water Spray System with Hose Allowance
o Monitor Guns
 Demand Test is also run with an impaired case:
o A fire system must be able to deliver 75% of the required fire flow
(GPM) at 100% of the required pressure with the largest fire main out
of service. Note: if all piping is the same diameter, then the shortest
direct feed main shall be substituted as the largest in this equation.
o A fire system must be able to deliver 75% of the required fire flow
(GPM) at 100% of the required pressure with the largest fire pump out
of Service.
 Demand Test shall be conducted whenever:

o Any major change in the sites water system.
o Addition of a new fire water demand that is larger or more remote from
the site existing largest fire water demand.
o A minimum of 5-years (performed when performing C-Factor Testing)
Equipment Needed
 Normal Flow Testing Equipment needed to perform a Demand Test:
o Pitot Gauge
o Hose Monsters

DuPont SHE Standard S20F

 Section 5.3.1 of SHE Standard S20F states:
o “In addition to corporate SHE and engineering standards, DuPont has
adopted the following NFPA codes and standards as DuPont SHE
standards, applicable worldwide. Any sections within these adopted
codes and standards that contain mandatory language shall be
mandatory within DuPont.”
 NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water
Based Fire Protection Systems is among the adopted standards.
NFPA 25, Chapter 7

 This chapter provides the minimum requirements for the routine inspection,
testing and maintenance of private fire service mains and their
appurtenances.
 Table 7.1 shall be used to determine the minimum required frequencies for
inspection, testing and maintenance.
o These functions shall be permitted to be carried out simultaneously.
 Chapters 9 & 10 of the NFPA Inspection, Test and Maintenance Manual also
cover these requirements.
NFPA 25 Inspection Details

 General - Inspections are intended to identify obvious problems with the
equipment being inspected.
 The inspection, testing and maintenance requirements for valves (PIV, OS&Y,
etc.) are found in NFPA 25, Chapter 12.
 Generally we think of inspections as being visual only. For valves and
hydrants, there are ‘hands-on’ inspections.

 Hydrants shall be lubricated annually to ensure that all stems, caps, plugs
and threads are in proper operating condition.
Testing - PIVs
 Each control valve shall be operated annually through its full range and
returned to its normal position.
 Post indicator valves shall be opened until spring or torsion is felt in the rod,
indicating that the rod has not become detached from the valve.
 Post indicator valves shall be backed one-quarter turn from the fully open
position to prevent jamming.
 For electronically supervised valves, the alarm signal shall be tested semi-
annually.
 Maintenance
 Lubricant shall be applied annually per the manufacturers instructions.
 CAUTION - Many PIV’s require a specific lubricant. Using the wrong lubricant
can damage the stem and leave the valve inoperable.
Testing – Underground and Exposed Piping

 Generally, underground piping cannot be inspected on a routine basis.
However, flow testing can reveal the condition of underground piping and
shall be conducted in accordance with Section 7.3.
 Underground and exposed piping shall be flow tested to determine the
internal condition of the piping at minimum 5-year intervals.
 Flow tests shall be made at flows representative of those expected during a
fire for the purpose of comparing the friction loss characteristics of the pipe
with those expected for the particular type of pipe involved, with due
consideration given to the age of the pipe and to the results of previous flow
tests.
