Tentative Interim Amendment NFPA 57 Liquefied Natural Gas LNG Vehicular Fuel Systems Code 2002 Edition Reference 2.12.1.2 TIA 02-1 NFPA 57 Pursuant to Section 5 of the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects, the National Fire Protection Association has issued the following Tentative Interim Amendment to NFPA 57, Liquefied Natural Gas LNG Vehicular Fuel Systems Code, 2002 edition. The TIA was processed by the Vehicular Alternative Fuel Systems Committee, and was issued by the Standards Council on October 3,2002, with an effective date of October 23,2002. A Tentative Interim Amendment is tentative because it has not been processed through the entire standards-making procedures. It is interim because it is effective only between editions of the standard. A TIA automatically becomes a proposal of the proponent for the next edition of the standard; as such, it then is subject to all of the procedures of the standards-making process. 1. Replace proposed text from NFPA 5 7 ROP, Log 5 7-1 2 with the following 2-12.1.2 Vehicular fuel containers shall be permitted to be located within or below the driver or passenger compartment provided all connections to the containers are external to, or sealed and vented from, the compartment.

It was issued by the Standards Council on July 19,2002, with an effective date ofAugust 8,2002, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 57 was approved as an American National Standard on July 19,2002. Origin and Development of NFPA 57 In 1990 the Technical Committee on Compressed Natural Gas Vehicular Fuels petitioned the NFPA Standards Council to expand the scope of the committee to cover LNG vehicular fuel systems in addition to CNG systems and for permission to begin work on a new standard. This request was approved, and this standard was developed by the committee, which changed its name to the Technical Committee on Natural Gas Vehicular Fuel Systems to reflect its increased responsibilities. The first edition of NFPA 57 was issued in 1996. Since that time, the committee name was changed to the Technical Committee on Vehicular Alternative Fuel Systems. The second edition added a new chapter covering LNG fuel systems on commercial manne vessels and pleasure craft. The 2002 edition contains minor revisions to con to the 2000 edition of the NFPA Manual of Style. There were minor changes made to clarify existing requirements. Most of these changes were made to Chapter 2, Vehicle Fuel Systems now Chapter 4, particularly to Section 2.12, Installation now Section 4.12.
