3 Hazard classifications of occupancies

3.0.1 The fire hazard of occupancies is divided into light hazard level, medium hazard level (level I and level II), serious hazard level (level I and level II), and warehouse hazard level (level I, II and III). 3.0.3 When there is a significant difference between the fire risk and the difficulty of fire extinguishing in each place of the building, it should determine the system type selection and fire hazard level in accordance with the actual situation of each place.

4 Basic requirements

4.1 General requirements 4.2 Selection of systems 4.3 Others 4.3.1 The dry pipe sprinkler system, pre-action sprinkler system, deluge sprinkler system, and sprinkler-foam combination system in the building to protect local places can be connected in series to the wet pipe sprinkler system in the same building, and it shall be connected to the feed mains. 4.3.2 The sprinkler system shall have the following components, accessories and facilities.

5 Basic design parameters

5.0.1 The basic design parameters for the use of wet pipe sprinkler systems in civil buildings and workshops shall not be less than those specified in Table 5.0.1. 5.0.7 For the warehouses and similar places which are equipped with the sprinkler systems, when using the shelf storage, it shall use the steel shelf and the transparent level plate, and the transparent part area in the layer plate shall not be less than 50% of the total area of the level plate. When using wooden shelf or enclosed level plate shelf, the system setting shall be determined by stacking storage warehouse. 5.0.16 Except as otherwise provided in this code, the continuous water spray time of a sprinkler system shall be determined in accordance with the requirements that the fire duration is not less than 1 h. 5.0.17 For the dry pipe sprinkler system and pre-action sprinkler system using pressurized gas as the starting medium, the pressure value in the system pipes shall be determined in accordance with the technical performance of the alarm valve; for the pre-action sprinkler system using pressurized gas to check whether the pipeline is tight, the pressure value in the system pipes should neither be less than 0.03 MPa nor more than 0.05 MPa.
