Annex F of BS EN 12845 - 2015
« on: February 24, 2015, 04:52:25 PM »
I read that Annex F of BS EN 12845 (Special requirements for life safety systems) is/has been re-titled to read 'Additional measures to improve system reliability and availability'  ... anyone aware of this?

Have you a copy of a new version, BS EN 12845:2004+A2:2009 is still shown as the current version?

It appears the new version is to be published soon but not yet available yet, unless you have a draft copy. Check out http://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/Home/Project/201301666 the only one available is the 2009 version.

Our friends in the rest of Europe didn't like the suggestion that only Annex F compliant systems were OK for Life Safety applications.

TBH I agree with them. Time we dropped it?

Yep - I'm reliably informed that when the new standard is issued (I have August in mind for some reason?) no longer will it mention "Life safety" sprinklers - the terminology will be as the OP suggests. 

Should end the debate about whether the flexibility allowed by BS9999 for sprinkler-protected areas only applies if they comply with that annexe!
