Apply NFPA 82 to help mitigate fire risks for incinerators and waste handling systems.

Whether you're a facility owner or manager, waste or linen chute manufacturer, designer, insurer or AHJ, there's no substitute for NFPA 82, Standard on Incinerators and Waste and Linen Handling Systems and Equipment. This vital standard details the fire-safe installation and use of:

• Waste storage rooms
• Containers
• Incinerators
• Compactors
• Waste, linen, and laundry handling systems

Recent changes add clarity, reflect the context of equipment in use in the field, and bring the standard up to date with referenced documents.

• Added definitions for combustible material, noncombustible material, and spark arrester are consistent with NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances.
• Revisions in Chapter 5 focus on spark arresters as a method of preventing spark and fly ash from exiting chimneys.
• To align with their listing and allow proper seating of chute doors, the gaskets previously required in Chapter 6 for chute doors has been removed.
• Updated references reflect the current editions of NFPA 13, NFPA 54, NFPA 58, NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code®, and NFPA 80, among other documents.

Annex A includes detailed graphics on types of chutes, a full pneumatic system, a fire damper engineering alternatives, and more.
