1 Draft FPA Australia Technical Specification for Public Comment FPAA101D These preliminary pages provide information on the background to this Technical Specification, the system it covers and the context of this Technical Specification as well as instructions on how to provide your public comment. This information has been provided so that as a reader of this public comment draft you understand the context of this draft Technical Specification when providing public comment. Background FPAA101D, Automatic Fire Sprinkler System Design and Installation Domestic Water Supply provides for a fit for purpose, cost-effective automatic fire sprinkler system supplied from the domestic water supply. It was developed as a result of research and testing funded by Fire & Rescue New South Wales (FRNSW) and conducted by CSIRO in conjunction with FRNSW staff and FPA Australia members to identify a fit for purpose, cost-effective sprinkler system for Class 2 and 3 residential accommodation buildings, other than Aged Care. It was undertaken as a direct result of the NSW coronial inquest into the death of Connie Zhang and inquiry into the 6 September 2012 fire at Unit 53, Tower B, 4 West Terrace, Bankstown. Two fit for purpose sprinkler systems were developed, both based on existing requirements of current Australian Standards and the use of listed sprinkler heads within the scope of their listing with an emphasis of providing a more cost-effective system that provides a required level of safety. One of the key ways this was achieved was by using existing water supplies in the building either the domestic water supply or the hydrant system water supply. This Technical Specification covers a sprinkler system fed by the domestic water supply. System overview As above, the major difference between the system in this Technical Specification and those in other documents (namely, the AS 2118 standards) is that rather than having its own dedicated sprinkler water supply into the building, the sprinkler system is integrated with the domestic water supply for the building. This significantly reduces the cost of the system as it eliminates the need for a dedicated sprinkler system water supply tapping, pump set, control valve assembly and riser. Specifically, the FPAA101D system takes its water supply from the building s domestic water riser, downstream of the domestic pump. Each floor will have a branch from the domestic riser to feed the sprinkler system and domestic water for that floor. The branch shall include an isolation valve (to isolate the domestic water and sprinkler system on the floor) after which will
2 be a further branch to serve the sprinkler system and sole occupancy unit (SOU) toilets. This branch incorporates a backflow prevention device after the take-off point and then reticulates throughout the corridors and common areas and into each SOU on that floor. As this is connected to the domestic water, any interruption or reduction in water supply to domestic appliances (taps, showers, etc.) will also quickly alert occupants to an interruption or reduction in the water supply to the sprinkler system. Additionally, the connection to the SOU toilets helps quickly identify any water supply issues to the SOUs sprinkler system. See Clause 3.0 for more information and a diagram illustrating this design. Context of the Technical Specification Recent tests have shown that fires in modern buildings burn at a rate eight times faster than 50 years ago. This is principally due to the reduction of furniture and contents made from natural materials and significant increase in furniture and contents made of synthetic materials. This was illustrated in fire testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) which showed the fastest legacy room 1 tested transitioned to flashover in just over 29 minutes whereas all modern rooms 2 tested transitioned to flashover in less than 5 minutes and as fast as 3 minutes 45 seconds. 1 Room with older furniture and contents of natural materials ( 1970s) 2 Room with more modern furniture and contents of synthetic materials (2010s) Such quick burning fires and the difficulty faced by the firefighting services reaching an incident in urban areas (e.g. due to traffic, congestion, narrow roads, etc.) in this time was illustrated in the Bankstown fire. This event resulted in the death of one individual and life changing injuries to another prompting the coroner s recommendation for a fit-for-purpose, cost effective sprinkler systems for Class 2 and 3 buildings to be investigated. As a result of this recommendation, testing was funded by FRNSW and undertaken by CSIRO in conjunction with FRNSW and FPA Australia members to identify such a system. FPAA101D and FPAA101H were developed based on this research. FPAA101D and FPAA101H form part of a Proposal for Change (PFC) to the BCA to require sprinkler systems in Class 2 and 3 buildings less than 25 m in effective height. This proposal was submitted by FPA Australia, Fire and Rescue NSW and the Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Authorities Council (AFAC). This PFC s objective is to mitigate fire growth rates in modern residential buildings to: (i) maintain tenability to the degree necessary for occupants to safely evacuate or until fire service intervention, (ii) support fire service response, and (iii) improve firefighter safety. In summary, this PFC provides fit for purpose fire suppression in Class 2 and 3 buildings, other than Aged Care, less than 25 m in effective height where none has been previously required and manner. in a cost-effective

The objective of FPA Australia s Technical Specifications is to realise this vision by providing fit-for-purpose solutions to make buildings safer. 2 P age
6 Preface This Technical Specification provides for a fit for purpose, cost-effective automatic fire sprinkler system supplied from the domestic water supply. It was developed as a result of research and testing funded by Fire & Rescue New South Wales (NSW) and conducted by CSIRO in conjunction with FRNSW staff and FPA Australia members to identify a fit for purpose, cost-effective sprinkler system for residential accommodation namely Class 2 and 3 buildings and was undertaken as a direct result of the NSW coronial inquest into the death of Connie Zhang and inquiry into the 6 September 2012 fire at Unit 53, Tower B, 4 West Terrace, Bankstown. Two fit for purpose sprinkler systems were developed, both with reference to existing requirements of Australian Standards and the use of listed sprinkler heads within the scope of their listing but with an emphasis of providing a more cost-effective solution that still provided a suitable level of safety. One of the key ways this was achieved was by using existing water supplies in the building either the domestic water supply or the hydrant water supply. This Technical Specification covers a sprinkler system fed by the domestic water supply. 3 P age

8 1.0 Scope This Technical Specification specifies minimum requirements for the components, design, installation, commissioning and routine service of a fit for purpose fire sprinkler system for Class 2 and 3 buildings not more than 25 m in effective height and fed from the domestic water system. Referred as a FPAA101D system. 2.0 Application This Technical Specification must be read in conjunction with Australian Standards AS , Automatic fire sprinkler systems - Home fire sprinkler systems and AS :2017, Automatic fire sprinkler systems General systems. See Clause System Description The FPAA101D system is a fit for purpose fire sprinkler system for Class 2 and 3 buildings not more than 25 m in effective height and fed from the domestic water system. The FPAA101D system takes its water supply from the building s domestic water riser, downstream of the domestic pump. This eliminates the need for a dedicated sprinkler system water supply tapping, pump set, control valve assembly and riser. Each floor will have a branch from the domestic riser to feed the sprinkler system and domestic water for that floor. The branch shall include an isolation valve to isolate the domestic water and sprinkler system on the floor. Downstream of the isolation valve is the take-off point for a branch serving the sprinkler system and sole occupancy unit (SOU) toilets. This branch starts with a backflow prevention device at the take-off point and then runs throughout the corridors and common areas and into each SOU on that floor. A FPAA101D system has the added benefit of having a continually monitored water supply. As the system is fed from the building s domestic water system, any interruption or reduction in water supply to domestic appliances (taps, showers, etc.) will indicate an interruption or reduction in the water supply to the FPAA101D system. See Figure 1 for an illustration of this system configuration. Note: As illustrated in Figure 1.3, a building with a FPAA101D system will have two pipes entering each SOU: The domestic service (as present); and The FPAA101D sprinkler system pipe. The connection of the toilets within the SOU to the sprinkler system pipework effectively provides end-of-line monitoring within each SOU. 5 P age
9 Figure 1 Sample system diagram of a FPAA101D system 4.0 Adoption of AS 2118 standards A sprinkler system in accordance with this Technical Specification shall meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS except where varied by this Technical Specification, see Clause 5.0. This Technical Specification also references some clauses from AS :2017, primarily in regards to components and the location of sprinklers. Note: AS has been referenced as the basis for this Technical Specification. However, this Technical Specification varies aspects of AS to create a fit for purpose and cost effective system for Class 2 and 3 buildings not more than 25 m in effective height fed from the domestic water supply. It has been informed by research and testing conducted by CSIRO in conjunction with Fire and Rescue NSW and FPA Australia members. 6 P age
10 5.0 Variations from AS Sprinkler systems in accordance with this Technical Specification shall meet AS with the following variations: NOTE: The below text includes a number of notes in blue boxes like this one. These notes are not part of the variations to AS but rather notes to this FPAA101D Technical Specification intended to clarify why certain information is added, modified or deleted. Notes that are not in these boxes are part of the variation itself, such as that for Clause below. There is also one commentary box which is clear (no fill) and is also part of the variation itself, see C4.2.3 in Clause below. Global change (entire Standard) All instances of home fire sprinkler system are references to a FPAA101D system and any variations on this are to be read accordingly, e.g. a reference to a home sprinkler is a reference to a sprinkler in a FPAA101D system.

The FPAA101D system takes its water supply from the building s domestic water riser, downstream of the domestic pump Sprinkler system Take-offs feeding the sprinkler system for the floor shall incorporate a floor isolation valve to allow the supply to the sprinkler system on that floor to be isolated. This valve shall be upstream of the branch feeding the domestic water meters on the protected floor. NOTE: The floor isolation valve is fitted upstream of the water meters so that domestic water usage monitors the floor isolation valve. If the valve is 10 P age
14 inadvertently left shut, occupants are alerted that the sprinkler system is inoperative as they will have no water available at their SOU taps Connection to SOU toilets All SOU toilets shall be fed directly from the SOU s sprinkler system. Pipework and connection to the toilet cistern shall be in accordance with AS/NZS except that the feed shall be from the sprinkler system. NOTE: The purpose of the connection to SOU toilets is to monitor the water availability at every SOU in the building. Such end-of-line monitoring increases system reliability by protecting against deliberate or inadvertent isolation to parts of the protected floor Ancillary Areas The whole building shall be sprinkler protected subject to the minor exceptions specified in Clause 2.2. If more than 25% of the floor area of a building is not classified as Class 2 or Class 3, an FPAA101D system shall not be used. If other classifications apply to ancillary parts of a Class 2 or 3 building protected by a FPAA101D system (e.g. Class 7 carparks, Class 6 retail etc.), these parts of the building shall not be located above the fourth storey; be sprinkler protected in accordance with Clause of AS and be provided with end-of-line sprinkler system monitoring via also providing water supply to toilets serving these ancillary parts of the building Connection to other systems No part of the sprinkler system shall be connected to any other service including drencher systems, hose reels or the like. 11 P age
