The Technical Committee on Ambulances is seeking public input on the proposed draft of NFPA 1917, Automotive Ambulances. The National Truck and Equipment Association (NTEA) and Ambulance Manufacturer’s Division (AMD) standards, referenced in the draft, also are invited to respond.

The proposed draft of NFPA 1917 is in a committee working document and is being circulated to solicit input from the public prior to publication as a report on proposals (ROP).

The ambulance committee will review the public input when considering the options as follows: keep the external AMD references as used in the draft; maintain the AMD references but add the committee’s amendments, or the technical committee develop testing criteria without using external reference within NFPA 1917.

The AMD Standards can be viewed or downloaded at http://www.ntea.com/assets/0/160/162/196/202/248/A67A074F-6110-4506-A2A4-487B8E331599.pdf

To submit a proposal, use the NFPA Document Proposal Form on page two of the Proposed Draft. Proposals must be received by Dec. 15 at 5 p.m. EST.
