That wasn't an opinion about the standard, it was a neutral narrative to underscore what Huggins said about the code. And I'll express my opinions when I want to. For example ... you're a bozo.
Sorry Roland and Frank, I'm off topic.

Hey, hey, hey...... let's all hold on here. It's my understanding that the chair of an NFPA Committee "is not supposed to have an opinion". Now, with that said...... whatever Steve says about standpipes is gold. (Please don't kick me off the committee Mr. Chair.) It should be recognized that the above is my opinion as a member of the NFPA, and has not been processed as a formal interpretation in accordance with the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects and should therefore not be considered, nor relied upon, as the official position of the the NFPA, nor any of their technical committees.

To what Roland says, 905.3.1 does not require automatic standpipes in a building, only that standpipes are required based on absolute height or buildings four stories and higher. The special requirements for high-rise buildings are in other sections of the building code and in NFPA 14.

This section of the IFC is, let's say, horribly written. 905.3.1 starts off say ALL shall be Class III then provides an exception whereby Class I is allowed when the building s fully sprinklered. Then 905.3.2 specifically calls for a Class I for large Assembly occupancies (occupant load over 1,000). NFPA 14 is much cleaner but let's let the Chair of that TC comment on correlation with the IFC. Ball teed-up. Whack it Steve.
