If you need local city/FD approval be sure they will except the FM criteria. We 
have had to provide NFPA proof for city and FM for the insurance provider for 
same project. Difficult overlap sometimes.

I always try to contact the FM reviewer and ask for the table where they are 
getting the info in their datasheets.  I then put that table on the drawings so 
there is no question as to where the criteria was derived.

Mark-
So riddle me this, I’m working on a project that specifies ESFR heads and FM 
wants .42/2000. What are my options ?

So the answer is, no. FM has not banned ESFR systems.

They have just stopped recognizing the ESFR term.  Many sprinklers you know as 
‘ESFR’ they simply refer to as a ‘storage sprinkler.’  Likewise as Travis and 
Craig noted, there are some sprinklers they recognize as ‘storage’ that are not 
identified as ESFR by the manufacturer.

I may be having a senior moment but I swear I remember reading something about 
FM not allowing ESFR systems….. Is that even remotely true?
