A prime example of this would be an office building that by code doesn't require sprinklers but the owner decides to install them anyway. If he does then the installation must conform to the applicable Code and Standard.
This is not really that complicated. Craig L.

Does this mean that an Architect/Owner can pick and chose what the wants to protect if the system is not required? Anybody dealt with this from a liability standpoint? Todd G.
