Residential Fire Sprinkler and California Codes

4/14/2017

12 Comments

 
The California Building Standards Commission approved the State Fire Marshal's Building, Fire and Residential Code adoption packages for the 2010 California Building Standards Codes at the hearing on January 12, 2010. The 2010 California Building Standards Codes published July 1, 2010, with an effective date of January 1, 2011.

A key component in the 2010 code adoption is the addition of residential fire sprinklers in all new one-and two-family dwellings and townhouse construction statewide. For many years, installation of fire sprinkler systems has only been required in office buildings and multi-family dwellings (i.e. apartments). These sprinkler systems are proven to save lives and extinguish fires. Prior to the adoption of the 2010 California Building Standards Codes, more than 150 jurisdictions in California had a local residential fire sprinkler ordinance.

Residential Fire Sprinkler Implementation Issue Form
In a continued coordinated effort, the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the California Building Industry Association has introduced this form to collect information, help clarify the State's requirement, and assist in resolution of misunderstandings or misrepresentation of issues associated with implementation of this code requirement.
