Hi all,

I am working on a foreign project that follows USA standard. I am not familiar with american codes and i need to write a sprinkler performance specification.
can you assist me with a few code and standards that contractors, subcontractor and installer should be using and what sort of certification would they need to carry out a wet system sprinkler design with light ordinary hazard design.

such as in UK we would say: "The building shall be fitted throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with BS EN 12845.
The design and installation of the sprinkler system shall be undertaken by a Loss Prevention Council (“LPC”) 1048 certified installer and in accordance with the LPC codes and standards. The Specialist Sub-Contractor shall be certified to ISO 9000."

The main one i have known and used in the spec is the NFPA 13.


can anyone assist me this?
Thanks
