Interpret NFPA 85 Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code

[EEgirl]

Currently operating with a 1960's vintage cyclone boiler and plans are to add OFA ports for nox reduction.

Does this constitute a major alteration per NFPA 85 and require compliance to the latest standards for burner management controls?

citation: NFPA 85 1.3.1 This code shall apply to new installations and to major alterations or extensions that are contracted for subsequent to the effective date of this code.

Comments appreciated...
