Which NFPA standard addresses the requirements for sprinkler systems?

NFPA 45
NFPA 13
NFPA 55
NFPA 96

The correct answer is: NFPA 13

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard that specifically addresses the requirements for sprinkler systems is NFPA 13. This standard establishes the design and installation criteria for automatic sprinkler systems, ensuring that they function effectively in the event of a fire to protect lives and property. NFPA 13 covers various aspects, including the different types of sprinkler systems, their components, hydraulic calculations for system design, and installation specifications. Other NFPA standards, such as NFPA 45, NFPA 55, and NFPA 96, focus on different aspects of fire safety. For example, NFPA 45 addresses fire protection for laboratories using chemicals, NFPA 55 focuses on the storage and handling of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids, and NFPA 96 concerns ventilation control and fire protection for commercial cooking operations. These standards do not encompass the specific requirements and guidelines for sprinkler systems, reinforcing why NFPA 13 is the correct choice for this question.
