It was issued by the Standards Council on July 20, 2000, with an effective date of August 18, 2000, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 77 was approved as an American National Standard on August 18, 2000. Origin and Development of NFPA 77 An NFPA project addressing static electricity was initiated in 1936, and a progress report was presented to the NFPA in 1937. A tentative edition of NFPA 77 was adopted in 1941. This tentative edition was further revised and officially adopted by the NFPA in 1946. Revisions were adopted in 1950, 1961, 1966, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1988, and 1993. The 2000 edition of NFPA 77 is a completely new presentation of the subject of static elec- tricity and its hazards. It reflects the current level of understanding of static electricity and presents considerable new information that explains the fundamental aspects of the phenom- enon and recommendations for evaluating and controlling potential hazards. New informa- tion has been provided to address specific hazards of flammable gases and vapors and combustible dusts and also to address specific industrial processes and operations. The 2000 edition also provides the user with relevant properties of numerous commercially significant materials, a glossary of terms, and diagrams that show acceptable methods of bonding and grounding. |
