We have consulted the code authority in which I was able to reference the IFC and NFPA 13 standards. We are also going to work with the FM Global Rep but I wanted to have references to the FM Data Sheets if there were any.

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. Reed Roisum Reed A.
