It was issued by the Standards Council on July 29, 2005, with an effective date of August 18, 2005, and supersedes all previous editions.  \nThis edition of NFPA 170 was approved as an American National Standard on August 18, 2005.  \nOrigin and Development of NFPA 170  \nThe 1994 edition of NFPA 170 represented the completion of an effort to combine four previously separate documents that covered fire safety symbols for different purposes. These documents included the following:  \nNFPA 171, Public Firesafety Symbols  \nNFPA 172, Fire Protection Symbols for Architectural and Engineering Drawings  \nNFPA 174, Fire Protection Symbols for Risk Analysis Diagrams NFPA 178, Symbols for Fire Fighting Operations  \nin one document made it easier for users of symbols to find the one(s) most appropriate for their application. It also eliminated duplication between these and eventually other NFPA documents.  \nThe first edition of NFPA 170 placed these four documents in one document but did not combine them, except for definitions that were in each document.  \nFor the second edition of NFPA 170, the Technical Committee on Fire Safety Symbols completely restructured the text into a logical and cohesive arrangement. The duplication of symbols that occurred during the aforementioned consolidation of documents was  \nThe Technical Committee on Fire Safety Symbols believed that placing all fire safety symbols  \nCopyright NFPA  \neliminated. New symbols added included those for campfire prohibitions, smoke barriers, illuminated exit signs, and belowground tanks  \nFor the third edition of NFPA 170, changes included the following:  \n(1) Upgrading recommendations on pre incident planning to requirements  \n(2) Adding new symbols for pull station, area of refuge, and cooking prohibition  \n(3) Clarifying the symbols for smoke detectors, battery powered emergency lights, and fire service/emergency telephone station  \n(4) Recognizing the phaseout of Halon now taking place and the introduction of clean agents  \nThe fourth edition further recognized the introduction of clean agents by adding new symbols for clean agent and water mist systems. A new appendix (Appendix C) was added to include symbols that can be used for life safety planning.  \nThe fifth edition was reformatted to conform to the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. Symbols for fire alarm system components were added for consistency with NFPA 72® , National Fire Alarm Code®  \nIn 2004, the scope of the committee was expanded to include emergency symbols to allow emergency mapping symbols in a new Chapter 8.  \nThe 2006 edition of NFPA 170 includes the refinement of exit symbology for better recognition of exit, arrow, and flame symbols that are consistent with international standards. A new Chapter 8, Symbology for Emergency Management Mapping, has been added to assist the user in the preparation for, prevention of, protection against, response to, and recovery from threats to the nation's population centers and critical infrastructure from terrorist, criminal, accidental, or natural origin.  \nThe symbols in Chapter 8 are the result of efforts by the Federal Geographic Data Committee—Homeland Security Working Group  \n([http://www.fgdc.gov/fgdc/homeland/index.html](http://www.fgdc.gov/fgdc/homeland/index.html)). The symbols have been included in this standard so that they can be processed through an accredited standards writing organization and made available to the public.  \nTechnical Committee on Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols  \n.  \n.  \nThomas R.
