Definitions - Future Reference in 921 Document
Date: August 15, 2008 12:20AM
Here is what one NFPA CODE STANDARD says with regard to definitions. While myself and others may disagree as to the specifics, perhaps 921 should use something similar in the future so that everyone is on the same page.
"General. The definitions contained in this chapter shall apply to the terms used in this standard. Where terms are not defined in this chapter or within another chapter, they shall be defined using their ordinarily accepted meanings within the context in which they are used. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition, shall be the source for the ordinarily accepted meaning."
