What assurance do I have that the AHJ will accept the results of this FSA document? Can the AHJ require a professional engineer to perform the analysis?
Although the AHJ is not required to accept the results of the FSA, the goal of developing this tool was to provide a credible document to fire and code officials. Hence, NFPA played a prominent role in its development; in addition, the effort was enhanced by the participation of fire protection engineers currently serving on the Technical Committee on Liquefied Petroleum Gases. Should any question arise as to the credibility of the FSA, both NPGA and NFPA are available to clarify the development and rationale of the manual.
