1.1 This test method covers procedures for determining the resistance to deflection and damage of floor and roof sheathing used in site-built construction subjected to concentrated static loads as well as impact loads from nonrigid blunt objects. It is applicable to wood and wood-based panels and boards, but is not intended to cover profiled metal decks, nor precast or cast-in-place slabs. Surface indentation is not evaluated separately from deflection.

1.2 Three applications are covered: roof sheathing, subfloors, and single floors. Roof sheathing is tested in both a dry and a wet condition, while subfloors and single floors are both tested in a dry condition, as well as a condition of having dried out after being wet. These moisture conditions are those commonly experienced with site-built construction.

Note 1: Where it is anticipated that sheathing will be subjected only to dry conditions during construction and use, or else to greater moisture exposure than is indicated in 7.3.2, the corresponding exposure conditions may be modified by agreement between the interested parties. For example, shop-built construction may be tested dry only, although the possibility of exposure to high humidity or leaks and flooding during use should be considered.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

Until recently, cable system signal leakage monitoring and repair activities were necessarily focused on preventing interference to aeronautical navigation and communication systems in the 108 megahertz (MHz) to 137 MHz and 225 MHz to 400 MHz very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands. Although Section 76.605(a)(12) of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules contains leakage limits for frequencies above 400 MHz, cable signals in the UHF spectrum were generally unobserved because (1) there were no explicit FCC requirements to monitor leakage on those frequencies, and (2) there were few if any complaints of interference.

Cable operator networks are large expansive networks that involve hundreds if not thousands of miles of coaxial or fiber cable powered by power supplies in the plant and connecting customers to critical infrastructure facilities such as hubs, headends, data centers, regional and national distribution datacenters. In these facilities is a vast array of equipment responsible for the production and support of the cable products - voice, video and data as well as newer products such as home automation and security, and Wi-Fi to name a few. The importance of powering all of these devices in the critical facilities is ever increasing as the customer expectation of 100% availability of service is growing due to expansion into business services and residential competition from new mark place service providers.

Update to the 2015 NFPA 79 -- the benchmark for industrial machinery safety and vital companion to the NEC® and NFPA 70E®.

Guard against electrical incidents and unplanned shutdowns that could result in injury, damage, or loss with the 2015 edition of NFPA 79: Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery. Updated to address new technologies and to correlate with the National Electrical Code® (NEC) and NFPA 70E®: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®, the 2015 NFPA 79 spells out essential protection for operators, equipment, facilities, and work-in-progress. This edition presents the latest requirements for the full spectrum of equipment -- from single-motored drill presses to complex automated manufacturing systems.

Updates address concerns from the industry and key changes to companion Standards.

• Requirements align with IEC 60204-1.
• Section 6.6, Arc Flash Hazard Warning clarifies that the requirement is to warn, not to protect, qualified individuals of a potential arc flash hazard. This change aligns with the 2014 NEC revision to 110.16.
• Conditions for "emergency stop" and "emergency switching off" are revised for Category 1 and Category 0 stops.
• The rules have been clarified where separate supply sources are used.
• Working space rules for enclosures that contain supply conductors have been revised to clarify that the requirements in 110.26 of the NEC apply.
• Requirement for "width of the working space" has been revised to specify the opening into the control cabinet to help users avoid dangerous errors.

All stakeholders need to help mitigate electrical hazards involving industrial machinery.

The 2015 NFPA 79 is essential for safety managers, electrical designers, engineers, installers, owners, AHJs, and industrial machinery manufacturers.
