I am trying to find out how a new rule is added into 13 without having a bar next to it in the margin and without being in the ROP or the ROC?
Case in point. NFPA 13, 2007 Section 18.2.4. "The protection specified in 18.2.1 shall not be required where ESFR or large drop sprinkler systems that are approved for rubber tire storage are installed." There is no bar in the margin yet column sprinklers are required in rubber tire storage in the 02 edition, see Section 12.4.1. We have an AHJ that won't let us use any part of the 07 edition on a rubber tire storage project because it has not been adopted by the city. I thought I would submit that 1.6 allows new technologies and the currently available ESFR's do not require column protection. I am trying to find where the language in 18.2.4 (07) came from to use as back up.
