BS 8458:2015

BS 8458:2015 gives recommendations for the design, installation, water supplies, commissioning, maintenance and testing of watermist systems with automatic nozzles installed in residential and domestic occupancies up to a maximum ceiling height of 5.5 m. It primarily covers watermist systems used for life safety, but might also provide property protection.

The recommendations of this British Standard are also applicable to any addition, extension, repair or other modification to a residential or domestic watermist system.

The British Standard does not cover watermist systems in industrial and commercial buildings. Recommendations for these systems are given in DD 8489-1.
