Fire safety legislation is handled very differently in each European country and there is little contact between countries on this subject. To help countries learn from each other the European Fire Sprinkler Network has collected and translated information from across Europe that calls for fire sprinklers to be fitted.
The information is provided in good faith as our understanding of the current situation but we cannot be held responsible for any claims made from its use. In all cases refer to the relevant authority to confirm the correct application of current legislation. Should you be aware of an error or omission in the information given here please contact info@eurosprinkler.org
