| Buildings and Structures |
|
| ICC International Building Code
(IBC) |
This code covers all buildings
except 3-story one- and two-family dwellings and townhomes. This
comprehensive code features time-tested safety concepts, structural, and fire
and life safety provisions covering means of egress, interior finish
requirements, comprehensive roof provisions, seismic engineering provisions,
innovative construction technology, occupancy classifications, and the latest
industry standards in material design. |
| ICC International Fire Code (IFC) |
The IFC covers regulations governing the safeguarding of life
and property from all types of fire and explosions hazards. Topics include
general precautions against fire, emergency planning and preparedness, fire
department access, fire hydrants, automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarm
systems, hazardous materials storage and use, and fire safety requirements
for new and existing buildings and premises. |
| Fuel Cell Technology |
|
| Building Construction and Safety Code (NFPA 5000) |
NFPA 5000 addresses those building construction, protection, and
occupancy features necessary to minimize danger to life and property. |
| Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell
Power Systems (NFPA 853) |
NFPA 853 covers the design, construction, and installation of
stationary fuel cell power systems. The scope includes the
following: (1) a singular prepackaged, self-contained power system unit; (2)
any combination of prepackaged, self-contained power system units; (3) power
system units comprising two or more factory-matched modular components
intended to be assembled in the field; and (4) engineered and field-constructed
power systems that employ fuel cells |
| Gas and Vapor Detectors and Sensors (UL 2075) |
This standard covers
requirements for toxic and combustible gas and vapor detectors and sensors
intended to be portable or employed in indoor or outdoor locations in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code (NFPA 70). A gas detector and/or sensor and/or vapor
detector, as covered by these requirements, consists of an assembly of
electrical components coupled with a sensing means inside a chamber, or by separate
components to detect toxic and/or combustible gases or vapors. |
| Inverters, Converters and Controllers for Use in
Independent Power Systems (UL 1741) |
This standard covers requirements for inverters, converters, charge
controllers, and interconnection system equipment (ISE) intended for use in
stand-alone (not grid-connected) or utility-interactive (grid-connected)
power systems. Utility-interactive inverters, converters, and ISE are
intended to be operated in parallel with an electric power system (EPS) to
supply power to common loads. |
