Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
A solid-state dimmer where the wave shape of the steady-state current follows the wave shape of the applied voltage such that the wave shape is linear.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid substance, other than a substance defined as a blasting agent or explosive, that is liable to cause fire resulting from friction or retained heat from manufacture, that has an ignition temperature below 212°F (100°C), or which burns so vigorously or persistently when ignited that it creates a serious hazard.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid, liquid, or gas associated with semiconductor manufacturing that has a degree-of-hazard rating of 3 or 4 in health, flammability, instability, or water reactivity in accordance with NFPA 704 and that is used directly in research, laboratory, or production processes that have as their end product materials that are not hazardous.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid processed fuel of specified size and composition capable of being fed to the appliance combustion system at a controlled rate.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid or liquid hazardous material in a closed vessel or system that remains closed during normal operations where vapors emitted by the product are not liberated outside of the vessel or system and the product is not exposed to the atmosphere during normal operations and all uses of compressed gases.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid mixture of oxidant, combustible component and technical admixtures that produces a condensed aerosol upon actuation.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid material, beam, girder, or similar material or construction that is attached to the underside of the ceiling and that protrudes a limited distance downward and creates a reservoir for collecting smoke.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid material without holes or other openings, used to retard the spread of flame.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid fuel prepared from municipal solid waste. The waste material is usually refined by shredding, air classification, magnetic separation, or other means. The fuel can be packed, chopped, pelletized, pulverized, or subject to other mechanical treatment.
Industry:Fire safety
A solid fuel classified as lignite, subbituminous, bituminous, or anthracite as defined by ASTM D 388, Standard Classification of Coals by Rank.
