Don't forget; 2006 IBC Preface-Introduction Internationally, code officials recognize the need for a modern, up-to-date building code addressing the design and installation of building systems through requirements emphasizing performance.
104.11 Alternative materials, design and methods of construction and equipment. The provisions of this code are not intended to prevent the installation of any material or to prohibit any design or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has been approved. An alternative material, design or method of construction shall be approved where the building official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code, and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this code in quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thom McMahon Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 11:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: WINDOW SPRINKLERS The NRC Canada's IRC has an interesting article on the use of SSP QR heads to protect tempered glass windows, but I don't believe ICC has adopted any of these yet. http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/ibp/irc/ctus/ctus-n12.html Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.
