This standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, installation and maintenance of fixed deluge water spray systems internal and external to buildings and industrial plant.
This standard covers only the use of the types sprinklers and sprayers specified in EN 12259-1 and prEN 12259-11 respectively. The requirements and recommendations of this standard are also applicable to any addition, extension, repair or other modification to a water spray system.
It covers the hazards, provision of water supplies, components to be used, installation and testing of the system, maintenance, and the extension of existing systems, and identifies construction details of buildings which are necessary for the satisfactory performance of water spray systems complying with this standard.
This standard does not deal with sprinkler systems, but spray systems may include some sprinklers.
This standard covers also water spray kits.
This standard is intended only for fixed fire water spray systems in buildings and other premises on land. Although the general principles may well apply to other uses (e.g. maritime use), for these other uses additional considerations will almost certainly have to be taken into account.
