The NFPA  70 handbook has a picture of a sprinkler piping into a an electrical 
room ;the piping does not go across the room; they can install  FM 200 or 
Inergen ; they can use preaction system single interlock or double interlock.

Subject: FM Global Electrical Room Fire Protection



The owner on a project is wondering if they can avoid installing fire 
sprinklers in the electrical rooms.  I gave them the IFC and NFPA 13 references 
that allow not sprinklering certain spaces.
 
This is an FM Global insured property and I looked through the Data Sheets but 
couldn’t find any references to allowing removal of sprinkler protection in 
electrical rooms.  Anyone know if FM addresses this or can you point me to 
which Data Sheet might speak to it?
 
I’m not looking for a discussion on whether we should be sprinklering these 
spaces or not, but just if FM has any references to the topic.
 
Thank you.
