Sprinkler Rules updates issued
The FPA has just published a set of updates to the LPC Rules for Automatic Sprinkler Installations incorporating BS EN 12845. The updates include revisions to the introduction, plus five Technical Bulletins, as well as a new Technical Bulletin on water supply water storage tanks. Customers who subscribe to the Sprinkler Rules update register will automatically receive their copies.
LPC Rules for Automatic Sprinkler Installations incorporating BS EN 12845 are an essential source of reference for those designing, specifying and installing sprinklers. The publication includes the text of the 2003 BS EN, together with a series of Technical Bulletins which explain and amplify the European standard, plus a selection of documents which provide supplementary information.
It is important that the Sprinkler Rules should be kept up-to-date, so if you own a copy but have not subscribed to the update register, please contact us to obtain a registration form. Registration for the update service is free and customers are invoiced with each update. Prices are based on the extent and complexity of each update.
