In May, the Technical Committee for Ambulance completed their last draft development meeting and has finished a draft copy of a new standard for automotive ambulances. The title for the new document will be NFPA 1917, Standard for Automotive Ambulance. The committee will be balloted on the draft for consensus approval, then go before NFPA Standards Council for release to the public for proposals. The committee is hoping for favorable public review and looking forward to public proposals. NFPA 1917 will be made public immediately after NFPA Standards Council has their August meeting. A link to a Proposal Form here is provided.
