There is no justification for omitting sprinklers in that room regardless of what type of system lies beside it.

The room itself has plastic sheeting for walls and the ceiling is composed of air vents and acrylic panels. No storage of combustibles is allowed inside and they use it to check LED panels for defects. The room is about 12X20. Is there any exception in NFPA 13 that would allow the omission of sprinklers from the room? It just seems silly to require sprinklers in the room when you have 30ft rack storage next to it protected by the ESFR system.
