The previous version of this data sheet was based on the 1988 Edition of NFPA 11A.
The 1999 Edition of NFPA 11A is a reconfirmation of the 1994 Edition of NFPA which superseded the 1988 Edition of NFPA 11A. The 1994 Edition of NFPA 11A was revised to provide foam concentrate pump guidance (Section 1-12.3). This data sheet is now a separate document to be used with the 1999 Edition of NFPA 11A.
