General
This Standard specifies minimum requirements for the design, material, and installation of fire sprinkler systems for houses, and advises on periodic testing and maintenance of these fire sprinkler systems. The sprinkler system is aimed at controlling a fire occurring in a house so that survivable conditions are maintained throughout the house for at least 10 minutes.
NOTE - In selecting a 10-minute period during which fire control must be maintained, it is assumed that evacuation can and will be undertaken. It is recommended that single point or interconnected mains powered smoke alarms are installed to give warning so that evacuation can begin.
