Fire Sprinkler System - "Fully Sprinklered"
Publish | January 01, 0001
What constitutes a facility being considered "fully sprinklered?"
In accordance with NFPA 13 (1999 edition), an mandatory reference of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, certain exclusions for fire sprinkler coverage can be applied. As long as the facility sprinkler system is installed in accordance with all applicable provisions of NFPA 13 (1999) as it relates to the applicable occupancy chapter of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code (2000 edition), then the facility, or the smoke compartment within the building, is considered to be fully sprinklered. The 90% statement is a generic method of conveying this concept. [LS.02.01.10, LS.03.01.10]
