FSH/18/2 - Sprinkler Systems

Sector: Construction

Categories: Fire protection equipment | Alarm and warning systems | Fire-fighting | Fire Protection. General

Overview: Under the direction of FSH/18, will consider developments in the emerging UK sprinkler fire fighting industry. It will address the needs for standardization in order to ensure effective and safe sprinkler firefighting systems can be specified and delivered through adoption of industry best practice and will also review and contribute to the work programmes of CEN/TC 191/WG5 and ISO/TC 21/SC5 for standardization in sprinkler systems
