Why edition are yo looking at. Chapter 2 is referenced publications in all
recent editions and chapter 21.1 (I was speculating on a typo) ends the .1
section at 21.1.9 in the 2016 edition. I'm at home and all my earlier
editions are at the office.

This is what the 2016 edition has to say about EC sprinklers in chapter 21:

*Chapter 21 Alternative Sprinkler System Designs for*

*Chapters 12 Through 20*


*21.5.3 Extended Coverage Spacing Sprinklers.*

*21.5.3.1*Sprinklers having extended coverage areas requir-

ing up to 10 sprinklers to be included in the hydraulic calcu-

lation shall be installed in accordance with the obstruction

criteria described in 8.8.5.1, 8.12.5.2, and 8.12.5.3, unless

large-scale fire testing is conducted with a representative ob-

struction below the sprinkler that demonstrates equivalent

performance.

*21.5.3.2*CMDA and CMSA sprinklers having extended cover-

age areas requiring more than 10 sprinklers in the design area

shall be installed in accordance with the obstructions to sprin-

kler discharge criteria described in 8.11.5 and 8.8.5.1.


*21.5.3.2.1*ESFR sprinklers having extended coverage areas

requiring more than 10 sprinklers in the design area shall be

installed in accordance with the obstructions to sprinkler dis-

charge criteria described in 8.12.5.2 and 8.12.5.3.

*21.5.3.2.2*Other obstruction criteria shall be acceptable if

large-scale fire testing is conducted with a representative ob-

struction below the sprinkler that demonstrates equivalent

performance.

*21.5.3.2.3*When utilizing upright CMSA, CMDA, or ESFR

sprinklers, any continuous obstruction 4 in. (100 mm) or less

shall be permitted to be ignored.
