NFIRS 5.0 relational edit validation rules are provided to ensure NFIRS data is consistent and correct for the fire/reporting concepts that are being modeled. Relational edits determine relationships between multiple fields / elements. These are the rules for ‘Automatic Extinguishment System (AES) Type’.
Rule | Group | Overview |
---|---|---|
Relational Edit Rule 79 | relational edit rule 79. |
Here are the NFIRS codes for the ‘Automatic Extinguishment System (AES) Type’ element, including any “other” values in case none of the preselected choices match:
Automatic Extinguishment System (AES) Type | Code |
---|---|
Wet-pipe Sprinkler System | 1 |
Dry-pipe Sprinkler System | 2 |
Other Sprinkler System | 3 |
Dry Chemical System | 4 |
Foam System | 5 |
Halogen-type System | 6 |
Carbon Dioxide System | 7 |
Special Hazard System, Other | 0 |
Undetermined | U |
A few NFIRS elements are reused accross a number of transactions, but typically the value is captured by one transaction only.
Specification | Value |
---|---|
Requirement | Optional |
Expected Length | 1 |
Element Type | Coded Field - The coded field relating to an entry in the code table. Most coded fields allow for Plus+ One codes. For these fields the expected length of the coded entry is depicted as (National length OR Plus+ One length). Only fields with this notation in the expected length column allow for Plus+ One definitions. If the user has not provided information, an empty field should be transmitted. |
