6. AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM
6.1. SCOPE: This section covers the general requirement of selection, design, installation,
testing, commissioning and maintenance of automatic sprinkler system for firefighting in
buildings used for other than industrial, storage purpose, hotels and mercantile
buildings.
6.2. References: For additional information regarding definitions, planning, design,
hydraulic calculations, tables etc. following documents are to be referred to:
i. IS: 15105: Design and Installation and Maintenance of Fixed Automatic Sprinkler
Fire Extinguishing Systems- Code of Practice (First Revision).
ii. IS: 9972: Specification for Automatic Sprinkler Heads for Fire Protection Service
(First Revision).
6.3. INTRODUCTION
Firefighting installations for Wet Riser, Down Comer and Wet riser cum Down Comer are
to be operated manually. Delay in undertaking manual operation due to late detection
and or response, may result in spread of fire. In automatic sprinkler system, sprinkler
heads are provided throughout the areas to be protected at specified locations such as
roof or ceiling, walls, between racks, below obstructions and fitted with water supply
lines permanently charged with water under specified pressure. The sprinklers operate at
pre-determined temperature to discharge water over the affected area below and
provide an adequate distribution of water to control or extinguish fire. Only those
sprinklers which are in the vicinity of fire, that is those become sufficiently heated,
operate. Operation of sprinkler results in flow of water which initiates fire alarm. Thus
sprinklers perform two functions i.e. first to detect fire and then to provide an adequate
distribution of water to control or extinguish it. Water distribution from ceiling level, cools
down the hot gas which forms beneath the ceiling of enclosure in which fire is developing.
This will prevent spread of fire to adjoining areas and contain damage to limited area.

It should not be assumed that the provision of sprinkler system entirely obviates the need
for other means of fighting fire and it is important to consider the fire precaution in the
premises as a whole. The system shall be installed only where there is no danger of
freezing of water in the pipes at any time.
6.4. CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPANCIES AND PROVISION OF AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER
FIRE SYSTEM
Sprinklers are provided in industrial and non-industrial buildings. The design of sprinkler
installation depends upon type of occupancy. For the purpose of designing and
installation of automatic sprinkler system, buildings are categorized under the following
classes in IS: 15105.
(a) Light hazard class
(b) Moderate/Ordinary hazard class
(c) High hazard class
(d) Storage hazards
For details of classifications, IS:15105 is to be referred. Light Hazard Occupancies shall
be understood as those with low fire loads and with materials within having low rates of
heat release. Light Hazard Occupancies are of non-industrial type subject to the
condition that “No single compartment greater than 210 m2 are allowable within light
hazard occupancies and such compartments shall be fire separated by walls having 30
min rating and doors. Otherwise the sprinkler system shall be designed as per Ordinary
Hazard Occupancy.”
Office buildings (excluding store rooms), education institutions, hospitals (excluding
kitchens, stores, utilities), libraries, museums, nursing homes, prisons and residential
apartments are classified under light hazard occupancies.
Airport terminal buildings, car parking areas within building or basement, departmental
stores/retail shops are classified under ordinary hazard class.
In order to satisfy above conditions, all buildings classified under Light Hazard shall be
designed under Ordinary Hazard class. Accordingly these specifications cover Ordinary
Hazard class only.
6.5. PLANNING
Automatic sprinklers shall be installed wherever required in terms of Table 7 of Part-4,
Vol-1 of NBC 2016 (amended up to date).

explosion or toxic hazard. In such areas alternative arrangement shall be made.
b. Stairs, spaces below stair headings (but not rooms above a stair) and lift wells. Any part
of the building not provided with sprinkler protection shall be fire separated by walls.
Fire doors not less than 1 hour in fire resistance shall be provided in the opening of such
walls.

c. Wash rooms, toilets and WCs (but not cloak rooms) of area less than 5 m2. If area of

e. Rooms like server room or electrical control room where alternate protection by other
automatic extinguishing systems, (for example gas, powder and water spray).
f. In areas having height 17 m or above such as in atria, sprinkler installations may be
rendered ineffective and hence may be avoided.
6.5.2. The area to be protected by sprinkler is divided in to various zones. For detecting
operation of sprinkler in a zone, flow switches are provided which are wired to an
annunciation panel installed in the Fire Control Room. In the event of operation of

7. INSTALLATION, TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

7.1. SCOPE: This section covers the requirement of Installation, testing and commissioning
of firefighting system.
7.2. PREPARATION AND APPROVAL OF DRAWING
On award of the work, the contractor has to prepare working drawings as per
relevant norms and submit to the Engineer-in-charge for approval. The work is to be
executed as per approved drawings. The stage of approval of drawings is
therefore very important. All drawings should be carefully and critically examined
before approval. The requirements of various components of firefighting system
have been described in previous chapters dealing with the components. However,
generally following points are to be taken care while examining and approving the
drawings.
a. Site survey should be carried out in detail.
b. In addition to building plans, layout plan along with landscape plan/horticulture
plan and other services plans should be consulted while deciding route of
underground pipes from pump house and around the building.
c. As far as possible, underground pipe are not to be laid under road, pavement,
building and long open spaces. The locations along road, foot path in earth may
be preferred.
d. The location of yard hydrants, fire service inlet and fire service connection shall
be decided based on consideration of norms in relevant Paras. However
necessary adjustments are to be made so that these components do not become
hindrance in vehicular movement and entrance to the building. Requirement of
other building services are also to be given due consideration. Symmetry should
be maintained for aesthetic considerations.
e. Pipe sizes shall be decided in accordance with provision of relevant Paras.
7.3. TESTING
a. Initial Testing
i. During laying of pipes, the same shall be subjected to 10 kgf/cm2 hydraulic
pressure for a period of 24 hours, in sections.

ii. After completion of the work, all vaIves/ fittings shall be installed in position
and entire system shall be tested for 24 hours at a pressure of 10 kgf/cm 2.
The drop of pressure up to 0.5 kgf/cm2 shall be accepted.
b. Final Testing
i. After completion, all operation checks as per norms in relevant Para shall be
carried out for automatic operation of the systems. For this purpose, landing
valves may be opened at different locations. The exercise shall be repeated
couple of times to ensure trouble free operation of the system.
ii. Flow Test: The design flow of pumps shall be checked. The pump shall be
operated after opening a number of landing valves at different locations.
Design pressure is to be maintained in the pump house. Water discharge is to
be measured by drop in level in UG tank for a certain period. All pumps
shall be tested one by one. The flow rate shall be not less than as specified
while maintaining the design pressure in pump house.
7.4. COMMISSIONING
i. Flushing the System: Before commissioning, the entire system shall be flushed to
ensure that any earth/ foreign matters which might have entered during
installation are taken out. For this, pump may be operated and valves opened at
different locations.
ii. As soon as the work is complete, the system shall be commissioned and made
available for use. Requirement of firefighting installations is equally important
during occupation of the building. If the building is to be occupied in part,
firefighting system of building completed shall be commissioned by isolating the
system of under construction portion of the building.
iii. The firefighting system shall be maintained and manned from the very first day
of its commissioning.
iv. Any defects noticed during the warranty period shall be promptly attended by
the contractor and availability of the system at all time is to be ensured.
7.5. TRAINING TO CLIENT’S PERSONNEL
Contractor shall provide orientation and training on Fire Fighting System to Client’s
personnel deployed for this purpose. Training on all aspects of operation,
maintenance and trouble shooting shall be satisfactorily provided on mutually
agreed dates as per directions of Engineer-In-Charge.
