Mission Critical : Building, facility, activity, device, service or system whose (i) failure or disruption in normal business hour will result in the failure of business operations and (ii) maximum or 100% uptime at alltimesisnecessary. Listed denotes equipment, materials, or services included in a list published by an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with evaluation of products or services, that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials or periodic evaluation of services and whose listing states that either the equipment, material, or service meets appropriate designatedstandardsorhasbeentestedandfoundsuitableforaspecifiedpurpose. Fire Protection A broad term that encompasses all aspects of fire and life safety, including building construction and fixed building fire protection features, fire suppression and detection systems, fire water systems, emergency process safety controls, emergency fire fighting operations (fire department), Fire Protection Engineering (FPE), and fire prevention. Fire protection is concerned with preventing or minimizing the direct and indirect consequences of fire on people, property, and programs. By extension, fire protection also includes aspects of the following perils as they relate to Fire Protection: explosion, naturalphenomenon,andsmokeandwaterdamagefromfire. Fire Protection Systems Any system designed and installed to detect, control, or extinguish a fire; to limit fire damage; to alert occupants and/or the fire department that a fire has occurred; or to otherwise enhancelifesafetyorpropertyprotection. Life Safety Systems Any system designed and installed to alert occupants to a fire condition, provide sufficientcapacityandaprotectedpathforegress,providestructuralstability,andprovidepassivedefense against the spread of fire and its products. These include, but are not limited to, means of egress components,emergencylighting,exitsignage,firebarriers,andstructuralfireprotection. Maximum credible fire loss (MCFL) The damage to property and/or disruption to operations that would be expected from a fire, assuming that (1) all installed fire protection systems function as designed; and (2) the effect of emergency response is omitted except for postfire actions such as salvage work, shuttingdownwatersystems,andrestoringoperations. Maximum possible fire loss (MPFL) The value of property (excluding land) and cost of operations disruptionwithinafirearea,unlessafirehazardsanalysisdemonstratesalesser(orgreater)losspotential. Thisassumesthefailureofbothautomaticfiresuppressionsystemsandmanualfirefightingefforts. Redundant fire protection Fire protection measures implemented to mitigate the effects of fires or related perils in the event of a partial or total failure of the primary fire protection measures (e.g., two independentfiresuppressionsystemstoprotectahighriskfacility). PerformanceBased Design (PBD) An engineering approach to design elements of a building based on agreedupon performance goals and objectives, engineering analysis and quantitative assessment of alternatives against the design goals and objectives using accepted engineering tools, methodologies and performancecriteria.
