Scope:

1.1 These requirements cover rack or reel type semiautomatic fire hose storage devices (SHSD) optionally installed in a cabinet intended for use in controlling incipient fires by trained personnel. An SHSD is intended for use with specifically-identified fire hose.

1.2 Requirements for the installation, use, and care of hose storage devices and fire hose are included in the following standards of the National Fire Protection Association:

a) Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, NFPA 14; and

b) Care, Use, and Service Testing of Fire Hose, Including Connections and Nozzles, NFPA 1962.

 

1.3 Semiautomatic fire hose storage devices as covered by these requirements use hose having an inside diameter of 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm) or 1 inch (25.4 mm) and are capable of storing not more than 100 feet (30 m) of fire hose, in accordance with the Standard for Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, NFPA 14.

Project need:

The development of the eighth edition of ANSI/CAN/UL 47 will move the necessary requirements from the existing ULC/ORD 47 to UL 47, resulting in a bi-national new edition. Importantly, this new edition standard will add a Salt-Spray Corrosion Test is for evaluating parts and remove Annex A from the standard.
