***********************

A 2011 interpretation by the Healthcare Interpretations Task Force clarifies the space required between alcohol-based hand rub dispensers and possible ignition sources such as electrical outlets. Prior to 2009, the NFPA 101: Life Safety CodeŽ stated that dispensers "shall not be installed over or directly adjacent to an ignition source." 

The HITF decided this year that "adjacent" should be defined based on the criteria in the 2009 edition of NFPA 101. HITF is a committee organized by the NFPA that brings together nine key organizations, including ASHE, to establish consistent interpretations of specific code questions"
