Description
Automatic sprinklers have been used in commercial and industrial buildings for over 150 years. Sprinklers stop a small, unexpected fire from escalating into a large, uncontrolled fire. Historically, sprinklers have proved successful at reducing the cost of fires for building owners and/or occupiers and insurers. This Digest summarises the key information needed by business managers/operators, specifiers, users, insurers and approving authorities to select, design and maintain sprinkler systems.
