NFPA 22-2013 addresses standard for which topic?

• A. Water Tanks for Private Fire Protection
• B. Standpipes and Hose Systems
• C. Foam-Water Sprinkler Systems
• D. Foam-Water Spray Systems

Answer: (A)

NFPA 22 is the standard for water tanks used to provide the water supply for private fire protection systems. It sets requirements for the siting, construction, testing, maintenance, and operation of on-site tanks so that there is a reliable, adequate source of water with appropriate pressure when a fire occurs. This focus on on-site water storage for private protection distinguishes it from other fire protection topics that are covered by separate standards—such as standpipes and hose systems, or foam-water sprinkler and spray systems. Those other topics have their own dedicated standards, while NFPA 22 specifically addresses the water tanks themselves.
