NFPA 1 Chapter 13 Fire Protection Systems Section 13.3.3.3 Inspection, Testing and Maintenance... Where automatic sprinklers are installed, ceilings necessary for the proper actuation of the fire protection device in accordance with NFPA 13 shall be maintained.
Sounds like someone should propose to have this language carried over to NFPA 25.

Willis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 4:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Ceiling Tiles or Lack thereof... How is everyone handling missing ceiling tiles? Specifically I am seeing the rooms completely without tiles, and the one with the sprinkler is left. I assume with the thought that it will operate. Hopefully the fire starts right next to those remaining tiles. A search of 25 leaves me no basis to write it as a deficiency. Any thoughts or direction appreciated. R/ Matt Matthew J.
