    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines recommendations for the design, installation, components, water supplies and backflow protection, commissioning, maintenance and testing of fire sprinkler systems in domestic and residential occupancies.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This British Standard gives recommendations for the design, installation, components, water supplies and backflow protection, commissioning, maintenance and testing of fire sprinkler systems in domestic and residential occupancies. These systems are primarily intended for the protection of life in case of fire and have additional benefits for property protection, environmental protection, sustainability of buildings and continuity of use, and firefighter safety.

    The recommendations of this British Standard are also applicable to any addition, extension, repair or other modification to a residential sprinkler system.
