Gregg: Take a look also at A.4.1.4, which was a new section in the 2002 edition and carried through to the 2008 edition with the same section number. It says"... or a product voluntarily recalled by ... [the manufacturer et al]". That covers the situation where the manufacturer initiates a replacement program ahead of a CPSC mandate, or as a result of negotiation with the CPSC or other regulatory body. The language in 5.2.1.6 makes it clear that the owner must replace the sprinklers that have been subject to recall, even if they missed the deadline for voluntary replacement by the mfr. Looks like I should prepare a proposed change to move that definition of "recalled product" from the Annex to Chapter 3. Dave

Does this include the Central Sprinkler Voluntary Recall of the o-ring sprinklers? Some discussion was had if this was a recall or replacement. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml01/01201.html begin:vcard fn:C Gregg Key n:Key;C Gregg org:Fire Technology;Fire Sprinkler Division adr;dom:;;3124 Washington Road;Augusta ;GA;30907 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Project Manager tel;work:706-650-7730 tel;fax:706-650-7731 tel;cell:706-412-1281 url:www.firetecheng.com version:2.1 end:vcard _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
