Anyone out there want to address the ‘cleaning’ of sprinklers as included in 

NFPA 25, 2011 Ed.
A.5.2.1.1.2(5) – In lieu of replacing sprinklers that are loaded with dust, it 
is permitted to clean sprinklers with compressed air or by a vacuum provided 
that the equipment does not touch the sprinkler.

I have a situation where this is being interpreted to mean that sprinklers 
covered with residue from a powder coating operation are to be cleaned by order 
of the Fire Inspector.

Also,  who can we contact with the NFPA 25 that may have already or will 
address the intent of the above standard.

Thanks,
