I would think residential sprinklers meet the intent of NFPA 13R. Foyers, corridors, and hallways [6.2.2.2(2), 6.2.2.2(3), and 6.2.2.2(4)] are used for egress; hallways generally contain negligible combustibles and present a low fire challenge. Stairways are very similar, paths of egress and almost no fire load is present due to egress.
Look very close ate the FAQ of 7.2.1, NFPA 13R requires only that the design discharge, number of design sprinklers, sprinkler coverage, and position of sprinklers comply with NFPA 13, for areas outside the dwelling.

Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you KNOW the content is safe. Good Morning Everyone, Our design team is debating the use of residential heads in stairways. For a predominately residential occupancy (like an apartment) designed to 2016 NFPA 13R, do stairways qualify for residential heads under 6.2.2.2 (8) “Other areas with fire loads similar to residential fire loads”? If the design is to 2016 NFPA 13 instead, can a stairway be considered “corridor” to meet the requirement of 8.4.5.1 for use of residential heads?

Sprinkler protection is proposed to protect the building and wanted to ask the question about “excessive loading of sprinklers” and what the best option would be to minimise this I am aware that NFPA 25 mentions this, our code in Australia does not mention this term but states that yearly the sprinklers must be visually checked and suggest that a more stringent maintenance routine be in place for these environments. The product bulk stored is phosphate rock typically and is used for the fertiliser manufacturing plant across the road. Any suggestions to the above query would be much appreciated.
