BS DD 8458 Part 1 has been published

BS DD 8458 Fixed fire protection systems - Residential and domestic water mist systems - Part 1: Code of practice for design and installation has now been published by BSi.

FHC can easily provide hydraulic calculations for water mist systems designed to this British standard, NFPA 750, and other international water mist standards.

This draft water mist standard is intended for domestic and residential properties to provide both life and property protection, and it is assumed that water mist systems will become an integrated part of the building's fire safety system.

As the standard only allows the water mist system to be installed in buildings less than 20m in height and with a room size no larger than 8m x 4m, which is the size of the test room detailed in Annexe A of the standard.
