Although I've been known to be wrong before, I believe he is referencing NFPA-13 8.4.7.2. If he is, he needs to look at the wording a little closer "Where steel pipe is used ..." And I surely don't feel the intent is for the air supply, but for the system piping.
Per 7.2.6 in 13 it has to be ½" or larger and capable of restoring normal air pressure to the system within 30 min. I don't see any requirements in 13 for pipe type of this supply.

We intend to use copper but have a govt inspector telling us it has to be steel.
