Summary: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) expresses concern that the proposed amendments to 46 CFR Part 162 may reduce the reliability and repeatability of marine fire-extinguishing systems. They argue against removing listing requirements for system components and request more rigorous standards and technical justifications for proposed reductions in testing requirements.
