NFPA 806: Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Electric Generating Plants Change Process

NFPA 806, also known as the Standard for Performance-Based Fire Protection Design for Commercial and Industrial Cookeries, outlines the requirements for designing and installing fire protection systems in commercial cooking operations. Developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), this standard provides guidelines for performance-based design, which allows for more flexibility and innovation in fire protection system design while ensuring occupant safety and property protection. The standard addresses various aspects of commercial cookery fire protection, including cooking equipment, exhaust systems, and fire suppression systems. It provides criteria for evaluating fire hazards, selecting fire suppression systems, and designing systems to mitigate potential fires. NFPA 806 applies to commercial cooking operations such as restaurants, food courts, catering facilities, and other similar establishments.
