Which of the following provides regulations for protection in semiconductor manufacturing facilities?

NFPA 318
NFPA 70
NFPA 10
NFPA 101

The correct answer is: NFPA 318

NFPA 318 specifically addresses the safety requirements for semiconductor manufacturing facilities, focusing on fire protection issues that are unique to this industry. This standard covers various aspects, including the types of materials used in semiconductor manufacturing, the processes involved, and the potential fire hazards these may present. It provides guidelines on building design, material handling, and fire suppression systems tailored to the characteristics of semiconductor manufacturing. The other standards listed pertain to different aspects of fire safety. NFPA 70 addresses the National Electrical Code, providing regulations for electrical wiring and installations to prevent electrical fires. NFPA 10 covers portable fire extinguishers, detailing their selection, installation, and maintenance, while NFPA 101 focuses on life safety in building design and occupancy, including egress and occupancy safety. Each of these standards serves important roles in fire protection and safety, but only NFPA 318 is specifically aimed at the unique requirements of semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
