Remove the "Exception" text to be consistent with direction provided in the MOS.
Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input
The current language in 88A has numerous section that contain text written with an "Exception" type
format. This is inconsistent with the direction provided by the Manual of Style. These sections should
be rewritten as modifiers to the core section rather than exception text.

NFPA 2, Hydrogen Technologies Code , 2016 edition.
edition.

edition.
This proposed change add a reference to NFPA 1 and NFPA 2.

NFPA 1 - This is the Fire Code and provides the needed regulatory flowdown needed to enforce NFPA
88A. Jurisdictions that adopt NFPA 1 will enforce NFPA 88A as required by NFPA 1 Chapter 29.
Jurisdictions are unlikely to adopt NFPA 88A directly but the flowdown through NFPA 1 makes NFPA
88A enforcable where NFPA 1 is enforced. Adding the reference to NFPA 1 makes this section
complete.
NFPA 2 - This is the Hydrogen Technologies Code and is referred to in Chapter 7 of NFPA 88A (by a
separately submitted PI). NFPA 2 addresses the parking of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in parking
garages and confirms that no additional requirements beyond those needed for gasoline or diesel
fueled cars are needed. Adding this reference improves correlation.

5.2.1
Those parts of parking structures located within, immediately below, attached to, or less than 3
m (10 ft) from a building used for any other purpose shall be separated by walls, partitions,
floors, or floor–ceiling assemblies having fire resistance ratings of not less than 2 hours, unless
otherwise permitted by 5.2.2 or the building code .
NFPA 5000, as well as other nationally-recognized building codes, all have well established
requirements for the protection of multiple occupancies within a structure. These include both
separated occupancy approaches, with fire resistive barriers between the uses, as well as
nonseparated or mixed occupancy approaches, where the entire building is essentially designed to
the most restrictive requirements of the occupancies involved. NFPA 88A should not prohibit any of
these approaches to multiple occupancies.

Each parking level shall have wall openings open to the atmosphere, for an area of not less

DELETE.
PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION: 5.5.1 For natural ventilation purposes, the exterior side of the
structure shall have uniformly distributed openings on two or more sides. The area of such
openings in exterior walls on a tier shall be not less than 20 percent of the total perimeter wall
area of each tier.
Glenwood Springs, Colorado has a newly constructed two-tier parking structure. The City specified
an open parking structure. The architect provided sufficient wall openings to meet NFPA No 88A, but
not sufficient openings to comply with the IBC. The structure now has $235,000 in a sprinkler system,
a dry standpipe, and a ventilation system.
The IBC and the IFC require approximately 50 percent larger area of wall openings than NFPA.
The IFC and the IBC Section 406.5.2 Openings and the NFPA No 88A must use identical language in
the definition of an open parking structure to avoid confusion.

7.1.4
The storage, use, handling, and dispensing of hydrogen fuels shall conform to NFPA 1 and
NFPA 2.
Because hydrogen is also a fuel this adds NFPA 2 which contains the requirements for dispensing of
hydrogen as a fuel. Also adds NFPA 1 to the list of requirements for this new section.
This is needed because adding fueling of any type to a parking garage (typically a storage occupancy)
can have an impact on the occupancy classification, required operational permits, and needed
protection measures that are best invoked, enforced, administered and inspected through a fire
prevention code. Adding NFPA 1 to the list of required documents invokes these requirements.

7.2 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles

The storage of self-propelled vehicles powered by [gaseous or liquid hydrogen] in parking
garages [ ]shall be subject to the same requirements applicable to vehicles powered by
traditional fuels [2016 NFPA 2 17.2.1].
A.7.2 - The use of brackets in this extract shoiws where text from NFPA 2 that is not applicable
to NFPA 88A was revised or removed. The balance of the extracted text as well as its intent are
un-changed.
NFPA 2 addressed the issue of parking FCEVs in parking garages in the 2016 edition and concluded
that no additional requirements are needed. This text clarifies that conclusion. The text from the 2016
editions of NFPA 2 is extracted. The new proposed Annex note explains the practice of using
brackets [ ] in the extracted text. This is the approach taken for extracts in NFPA 2 where not all of the
extract is applicable but the benefit of retaining the extract tag outweighs the option of dropping the
extract tag and revising the text to fit better with NFPA 88A scope.
