Greg,

See NFPA 13 (2002 Edition) A.8.1.1.  the last sentence states "A
building is considered sprinklered throughout when protected in
accordance with the requirements of this standard".

Subject: definition of "throughout"

Does any one have a definitive definition of the term "protected
throughout by an approved, supervised automatic sprinkler system" means
in relation to 13 vs 13R vs 13D? I believe there is something in the IBC
commentary about this.

 

Is a building NOT protected "throughout" if the heads in allowable
bathrooms and/or closets are omitted?

 

Thanks for the help,

Greg
