• Duration of water supply
• Mains refill capabilities – refill duration limits are outlined in BS EN12845, BS 9251
• Full holding or reduced capacity – reduced capacity may be acceptable where the main refill capabilities are sufficient to make up the water requirement balance within the “time” regulations for specific hazard classifications
• Wet or dry pipe system
• Range between the highest and lowest sprinkler. Sprinkler design standard
