Be careful, the 2006 IBC contains language that supercedes NFPA-13.

The 2006 IBC code language at 903.3.1.1 specifically states;"
.....sprinklers shall be installed throughout in accordance with NFPA 13
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 903.1.1.1.1, 903.3.1.2 AND 903.3.1.3"
(Emphasis mine)

Subject: RE: definition of "throughout"

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
