Sections 1.5, 1.6

1.5 Data Plate.

Each manufactured home shall bear a data plate affixed in a permanent manner near the main electricalpanel or in another readily accessible and visible location. Each data plate either shall be made of a materialthat will receive typed information, as well as preprinted information, that can be cleaned of ordinarysmudges or household dirt without removing information contained on the data plate; or shall be covered in apermanent manner with materials that will make it possible to clean the data plate of ordinary dirt andsmudges without obscuring the information. (See 6.5.3.5 .) Each data plate shall contain not less than thefollowing information:

(1) Name and address of the manufacturing plant where the manufactured home was manufactured

(2) Serial number and model designation of the unit and the date the unit was manufactured

(3) The statement: “This manufactured home is designed to comply with the NFPA Standard 501 in effectat the time of manufacture.”

(4) A list of the certification label(s) number(s) affixed to each transportable manufactured section inaccordance with Section 1.11

(5) A list of major factory-installed equipment, including the manufacturer's name and the modeldesignation of each appliance

(6) Reference to the roof load zone and wind load zone for which the home is designed and duplicates ofthe wind zone and roof load zone maps shown in Figure 6.5.3.1(a) and Figure 6.5.3.3.1 . (Thisinformation shall be permitted to be combined with the heating and cooling certificates and theinsulation zone map required by Sections 8.10 and 8.11 .)

(7) The statement: “This home has ______ has not ______ (appropriate blank to be checked bymanufacturer) been equipped with storm shutters or other protective coverings for windows andexterior door openings. For homes designed to be located in Wind Zones II, III, and IV that have notbeen provided with shutters or equivalent covering devices, it is strongly recommended that the homebe made ready to be equipped with these devices in accordance with the method recommended in themanufacturer's printed instructions.”

(8) The statement: “Design approval by . . .” followed by the name of the agency that approved the design

1.6 Serial Number.

1.11 Certification Label.

1.11.1

A permanent label shall be affixed to each transportable section of each manufactured home subject to thisstandard. This label shall be separate and distinct from the data plate required by Section 1.5 .

1.11.2

The label shall be approximately 2 in. × 4 in. (50 mm × 100 mm) in size and shall be permanently attachedto the manufactured home by means that render it difficult to remove without defacing it. The label shall beetched on a 0.32 in. thick (8.2 mm) aluminum plate or other material identified by the administrativeregulations. The label shall be etched or stamped with a sequence of letters identifying the productioninspection agency, followed by a series of sequential numbers in a manner identified in the administrativeregulations.

1.11.3

The label shall read as follows:

“As evidenced by this label, No. (e.g., ABC 000001), the manufacturer certifies to the best of themanufacturer’s knowledge and belief that this manufactured home has been constructed and inspected inaccordance with the requirements of the (regulatory agency name) and is in conformance with the edition

of NFPA 501 in effect on the date of manufacture. See data plate.”

1.11.4 *

The label shall be located at the taillight end of each transportable section of the manufactured homeapproximately 1 ft (300 mm) up from the floor and 1 ft (300 mm) in from the road side, or as near thatlocation on a permanent part of the exterior of the manufactured home section as practicable. When locatingthe label on the taillight end of a transportable section will prevent the label from being visible after themanufactured home section is installed at the installation site, the label shall be installed on a permanentpart of the exterior of the manufactured home section in a visible location as specified in the approveddesign.


Relocate section 1.11 to a new Chapter 4 General Provisions and renumber the remaining chapters. The provisions of 1.11, along with the provisions of 1.5 and 1.6, are more appropriate for the requirements of a technical chapter and not an administrative chapter. This is also consistent with the spirit and intent of the NFPA Manual of Style.

Public Input No. 17-NFPA 501-2014 [ Section No. 5.3.1.3 ]

5.3.1.3

The following conditions shall be met when an interior finish material is tested using the test protocol of NFPA286, Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Evaluating Contribution of Wall and Ceiling Interior Finish to RoomFire Growth:

(1) Flames shall not spread to the ceiling during the 40 kW exposure.

(2) During the 160 kW exposure, the following criteria shall be met:

(3) Flame shall not spread to the outer extremities of the sample on the 8 ft × 12 ft (2440 mm ×3660 mm) wall.

(4) Flashover shall not occur.

(5) The peak heat release rate throughout the test shall not exceed 800 kW.

(6) When limitations are desired on smoke development, the total smoke released throughout the test shallnot exceed 1,000 metres squared.


The total smoke released requirement from NFPA 286 was missing. It has been added as an optional measurement when smoke limitations are desired. That is the requirement that correlates with the smoke developed index from ASTM E84 and it is included in all codes and standards that assess materials or products to NFPA 286.

For information, NFPA 5000 states as follows:10.4.5.2 The interior finish shall comply with all of the following when tested using the test protocol of NFPA 286:(1) During the 40 kW exposure, flames shall not spread to the ceiling.(2) The flame shall not spread to the outer extremity of the sample on any wall or ceiling.(3) Flashover, as described in NFPA 286, shall not occur.(4) The peak heat release rate throughout the test shall not exceed 800 kW.(5) The total smoke released throughout the test shall not exceed 10,764 ft2 (1000 m2).

Similarly, NFPA 101 states as follows:10.2.3.7.2 The interior finish shall comply with all of the following when tested using the test protocol of NFPA 286, Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Evaluating Contribution of Wall andCeiling Interior Finish to Room Fire Growth:(1) During the 40 kW exposure, flames shall not spread to the ceiling.(2) The flame shall not spread to the outer extremity of the sample on any wall or ceiling.(3) Flashover, as described in NFPA 286, shall not occur.(4) The peak heat release rate throughout the test shall not exceed 800 kW.(5) For new installations, the total smoke released throughout the test shall not exceed 1000 m2.

Note that the only change proposed is the addition of the requirement for total smoke released and other changes were caused by the website.

5.8.1.3.2.3

Cellulose loose-fill insulation that is not spray applied and that complies with the requirements of 5.8.1.3.2.1and 5.8.1.3.2.2 shall be required to meet a smoke developed index not exceeding 450 when tested inaccordance with ASTM E 84 CAN/ULC S102.2 , Standard Test Method for Surface BurningCharacteristics of Building Materials , or ANSI/UL 723, Standard for Test for Surface BurningCharacteristics of Building Materials Flooring, Floor Coverings and Miscellaneous Materials andAssemblies .


It has now been shown that cellulose loose-fill insulation cannot be tested appropriately using ASTM E84 (or UL 723) and needs to be tested to CAN/ULC S102.2. This change has been incorporated into other codes and standards. Moreover, ASTM E84 does not have a mandatory way of testing cellulose loose-fill insulation because it would require a metal grid that is so fine that the result is heavily affected by the metal.

Additional Proposed Changes

File Name DescriptionApproved

Ferguson_501_SCF_ASHRAE_Proposal_Form.pdf PI Form


There are outdated references to the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals. This proposal seeks to update that reference.In addition, it’s typically easier to maintain appropriate references if specific sections, chapters, and years are not listed in the body of the text, so this proposes to make the reference in A8.11.3 more generic.In this specific instance, I cannot map the appropriate Chapter to the most recent of the Handbook of Fundamentals. Primarily because there was not 2004 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals. There was a 2001 version and a 2005 version.The 2004 ASHRAE Handbook was the ASHRAE Handbook – HVAC Systems and Equipment.

A.8.11.3

A cooling load (heat gain) calculation is required to determine the required capacity of equipment to cool ahome efficiently and economically. The cooling load is dependent on the orientation, location, and structure ofthe home. Central air conditioners operate most efficiently and provide the greatest comfort when theircapacity closely approximates the calculated cooling load. Each home’s air conditioner should be sized inaccordance with Chapter 27 of the 2004 ASHRAE Handbook of - Fundamentals, once the location andorientation are known.

7.1.1

Manufactured home parks shall develop an emergency plan consistent with NFPA 1600, Standard onDisaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs, which includes monitoring theapproach of severe windstorms, provides methods of notification of residents, and provides a means ofevacuating residents, or and sheltering. This plan should be exercised upon a “Storm Warning” noticebeing issued by the National Weather Service.


Due to the number of deaths and serious injuries association with high winds and tornadoes Manufacturing Home Installations, Sites, and Communities should be required to provide onsite sheltering in place for residents for their protection. These above revisions incorporate these changes into the document.The following information was extracted from the Center of Disease Control regarding mobile homes and tornados:In a Mobile HomeDO NOT STAY IN A MOBILE HOME DURING A TORNADO. Mobile homes can turn over during strong winds. Even mobile homes with a tie-down system cannot withstand the force of tornado winds.Plan ahead. If you live in a mobile home, go to a nearby building, preferably one with a basement. If there is no shelter nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch, ravine, or culvert and shield your head with your hands.If you live in a tornado-prone area, encourage your mobile home community to build a tornado shelter.The following has been extracted from Iowa State University regarding a study of fatalities in Iowa concerning tornados and mobile homes:In mobile homes, seek safety in a designated safety shelter. As a last resort, lie down in a ditch or depression or culvert. If a shelter is not available in your park, ask for one or choose a park that has a shelter.The mobile home is an especially vulnerable target for tornadic winds. A typical mobile home not tied down by guy wires can be rolled over by strong thunderstorm winds of 60-70 mph. In the higher winds of a tornado, mobile homes (tied down or not) may be completely disintegrated and the inhabitants literally flung to the winds. In recent years, nearly half of all tornado deaths have occurred in mobile homes. Mobile homes are relatively inexpensive and movable and are not likely to decrease in popularity. It therefore seems imperative that the safety factor be increased for people living in these dwellings.The owner of a mobile home park in Emporia, Kansas realized the need for a community shelter for increased tornado protection. He built a shelter/clubhouse for $40,000. The next year this mobile home park was devastated by a powerful tornado. Despite having only minutes warning, about 80 people took refuge in the shelter, which suffered no major damage. In contrast only two of the 101 mobile homes in the park escaped damage. The concern of this mobile home park owner for his patrons led to many lives being saved.
