Origin and Development of NFPA 12
Work on this standard was initiated in 1928 by the Committee on Manufacturing Risks and Special Hazards. The standard was first adopted in 1929 and was revised in 1933, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942 (January and May), 1945, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1956, 1957, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1972, 1973, 1977, and 1980. Revisions adopted between 1945 and 1949 were proposed by the Committee on Special Extinguishing Systems, and those in 1956 and subsequent revisions were proposed by the Committee on Carbon Dioxide. The standard was revised in 1985 and 1989.
The standard was completely rewritten for the 1993 revision to more clearly state the requirements and to separate the mandatory requirements from the advisory text in an effort to make the document more usable, enforceable, and adoptable.
The standard was revised for the 1998 edition and again in 2000 in order to add a new chapter for marine systems.
