Only trained and experienced personnel should undertake the design, installation and maintenance of sprinkler systems. Similarly, competent technicians should be used in the installation and testing of the equipment! This standard covers only the types of sprinkler specified in EN see annex L. The requirements and recommendations of this standard are also applicable to any addition, extension, repair or other modification to a sprinkler system.

They are not applicable to water spray or deluge systems. This standard does not cover water supplies to systems other than sprinklers. Its requirements can be used as guidance for other fixed fire fighting extinguishing systems, however, provided that any specific requirements for other fire fighting extinguishing supplies are taken into account.

Sprinkler system design deviations may be allowed when such deviations have been shown to provide a level of protection at least equivalent to this European Standard, for example by means of full scale fire testing where appropriate, and where the design criteria have been fully documented.

Pipe arrays can be looped, gridded or branched 3. Tables of diameters are given 3. Although an automatic sprinkler system usually extends throughout a building or plant, it should not be assumed that this entirely obviates the need for other means of fire protection and it is important to consider the fire precautions of the premises as a whole.

Account shall be taken of possible interaction between sprinkler systems and other fire protection measures. NOTE 2 The authorities should be consulted when the hazard classification is being determined. A key to the symbols shall be included. The position and type of stop and non-return valves and any pressure reducing valves, water meters, back flow preventers and any connections supplying water for other services, shall be indicated.

Consideration should be given to the protection of load bearing steel. NOTE In these cases, other automatic extinguishing systems should be considered, e.

NOTE Such a fire resistant separation can be achieved by a firewall or by a suitable exposure protection system. Doors shall be self-closing or be closed automatically in the event of fire. NOTE No part of an unsprinklered building or section should be located vertically below a sprinklered building or section except as indicated in 5.

If the height of the concealed space at roof and floor is no greater than 0,8 m, the spaces shall be sprinkler protected only if they contain combustible materials or are constructed with combustible materials. Electrical cables with voltage less than V, single phase, with a maximum of 15 cables per tray, are allowed. See The height difference between the highest and lowest sprinkler on an installation i.

The buildings and areas to be protected by the automatic sprinkler system shall be classified as Light Hazard, Ordinary Hazard or High Hazard. This classification depends on the occupancy and the fire load. Examples of occupancies are given in annex A.

Where there are areas in open communication having different hazard classification, the higher design criteria shall be extended at least two rows of sprinklers into the area with the lower classification. See annex A for examples. Materials may be stored in occupancies classified as OH1, 2 and 3 provided the following conditions are met: a the protection throughout the room shall be designed to at least OH3; b the maximum storage heights shown in Table 1 shall not be exceeded; 2 c the maximum storage areas shall be 50 m for any single block, with no less than 2,4 m clearance around the block.

To determine the required design criteria when stored goods are involved, the procedure shown in Figure 2 shall be followed. Is it a Use Annex G Yes special harard? NOTE For each storage method, there are specific limitations to storage heights depending on the type and design of sprinkler systems see 7.

In order for sprinkler protection to be effective, the limitations and protection requirements of Table 2 shall be met. Aisles between rows shall be None 2 not less than 2,4 m wide. Aisles separating rows are less Intermediate sprinklers are required.

ST5 Either the aisles separating rows Intermediate sprinklers are 1, 2 shall be no less than 1,2 m wide, or recommended. Euroclass A1 or A2 or an equivalent in existing national classification systems shall be fitted longitudinally and transversely within each shelf. NOTE 1 When the ceiling is more than 4 m above the highest level of stored goods, intermediate levels of in-rack sprinklers should be used. NOTE 2 Storage blocks should be separated by aisles no less than 2,4 m wide.

For HHS systems, 7. NOTE For pre-calculated systems, the design criteria are achieved by the application of water supply and piping requirements stated elsewhere in this standard see 7.

Deluge systems are not covered by this standard. Specific limitations apply to the various types of storage methods as detailed in clause 6. More specifically, the storage heights indicated in the table are considered the maximum for efficient sprinkler protection where sprinklers are only provided at the roof or ceiling. NOTE 1 The distance between the maximum permitted storage height and the roof or ceiling sprinklers should not exceed 4 m. Where storage heights exceed these limits or where the distance between the top of the storage and the roof or ceiling exceeds 4 m, intermediate levels of in-rack sprinklers shall be provided as per 7.

NOTE 2 Storage height, building height and ceiling clearance the vertical distance between the roof or ceiling sprinklers and the top of the storage are all significant variables contributing to the effectiveness and required design density of sprinkler protection.

The control valve set shall be not less than mm diameter. If goods are stored above the highest level of intermediate protection, the design criteria for the roof or ceiling sprinklers shall be taken from Table 5. Where rack aisles are 2,4 m or more in width only one rack need be assumed to be involved. Where rack aisles are less than 2,4 m but greater than or equal to 1,2 m in width, two racks shall be assumed to be involved. Where rack aisles are less than 1,2 m in width, three racks shall be assumed to be involved.

NOTE The minimum pressure at any operating sprinkler is 2,0 bar see NOTE 2 Dry and alternate systems should be avoided on High Hazard storage especially with the more combustible products the higher categories and the higher storage.

The pressure loss due to friction and static head between the water supply and each control valve set shall be calculated separately. The total requirement for the running pressure at the control valve set shall be the sum of the pressure at the design point, the pressure equivalent of the difference in height between the control valve set and the highest sprinkler downstream of the design point and the pressure loss for the flow in the piping from the control valve set to the design point.

The pressure at the design point of the highest sprinklers in the HHP or HHS portion of the risk shall be either that shown in Table 7, or be determined by hydraulic calculation.

Therefore, in a fire involving the complete design area the HH portion will have a reduced flow rate. The flow rate for each distribution pipe shall be determined proportionately see 7. If the water supply is used for other fire fighting systems, see 9.

All practical steps shall be taken to ensure the continuity and reliability of water supplies. NOTE Water supplies should preferably be under the control of the user, or else the reliability and right of use should be guaranteed by the organization having control.

End suction pumps shall be of the "back pull-out" type. Pipes shall be supported independently of the pump. Where two pumps are installed, each one shall be capable independently of providing the specified flows and pressures. Where more than one pump is installed in a superior or duplicate water supply, no more than one shall be driven by an electric motor.

It shall be one of the following in order of preference : a a separate building; b a building adjacent to a sprinkler protected building with direct access from outside; c a compartment within a sprinkler protected building with direct access from outside.

Where the pump compartment is separate, it may be impractical to provide sprinkler protection from the control valve sets in the premises. Sprinkler protection may be provided from the nearest accessible point on the downstream side of the outlet non- return valve of the pump via a subsidiary stop valve secured in the open position, together with a water flow detector in accordance with EN , to provide visible and audible indication of the operation of the sprinklers.

The alarm equipment shall be installed either at the control valves or at a responsibly manned location such as a gatehouse see annex I. A 15 mm nominal diameter drain and test valve shall be fitted downstream of the flow alarm to permit a practical test of the alarm system. Where submersible pumps are utilized, the water o temperature shall not exceed 25 C, unless the suitability of the motor has been proven for temperatures o up to 40 C, in accordance with prEN A non-return valve and a stop valve shall be fitted in the delivery pipe of each pump.

Diesel engine cooling circuits usually use the same water. However, if additional water is used, it shall also be taken into account. Tappings on the pumps for inlet and outlet pressure gauges shall be easily accessible.

If this is not feasible, the pump may be installed under suction lift conditions or vertical turbine pumps may be used. A foot valve shall be fitted where the centre line of the pump is above the low water level see 9. Where more than one pump is provided, the suction pipes may only be inter-connected if they are fitted with stop valves to allow each pump to continue operating when the other is removed for maintenance. The connections shall be dimensioned as appropriate for the flow rate required.

Where there is more than one pumpset installed, the suction pipes shall not be interconnected. The height from the low water level see 9.

This test shall be carried out at a time of maximum demand on the main. They shall be connected in such a way that either switch will start the pump. Once the pump has started, it shall continue to run until stopped manually. If any isolating valve is installed on the connection between the trunk main and any pump starting pressure switch, a non-return valve shall be installed in parallel with the isolating valve so that a fall in pressure on the trunk main will be transmitted to the pressure switch even when the isolating valve is closed.

Where permitted by the electrical utility, the electrical supply to the pump controller shall be taken from the input side of the main switch on the incoming supply to the premises and where this is not permitted, by a connection from the main switch. The fuses in the pump controller shall be of high rupturing capacity, capable of carrying the start current for a period of no less than 20 s.
