The guidance in these documents typically does not reflect unique conditions or special considerations , such as system performance under adverse conditions. Nor does NFPA guidance reflect the increased system reliability that AXA XL Risk Consulting recommends for high-valued business-critical properties. AXA XL Risk Consulting and its predecessors have been a member of this committee since its inception in 1896 and are aware where additional guidance for high value property of business resilience is warranted.  \nThis PRC Guideline takes a position on provisions of NFPA 13 that AXA XL Risk Consulting believes require clarification or changed protection. To understand these positions , this document should be read in conjunction with the associated NFPA documents. The provisions of NFPA documents are not repeated.  \nAlso protect storage occupancies covered by NFPA 13 in accordance with PRC.10 series documents. Some general storage protection requirements are also covered in NFPA 1. The use of FM Global Data Sheets is an acceptable option except as outlined herein.  \nWhile NFPA 13 generally does not apply to facilities and equipment prior to the effective date of the version, it is AXA XL Risk Consulting position that in many cases new technology , testing, research, and/or real-world performance statistics provide data indicating prior versions may not provide acceptable protection. AXA XL Risk Consulting typically defaults to the most current version of a standard for analysis. This is especially true if revisions in a newer standard have the potential to reduce risk or loss due to improved protection recommendations.  \nAPPLICATION OF DEFINED TERMS  \nQuick Response (QR) Sprinkler  \nDo not use quick response sprinklers to protect areas where there is a potential for a fast-spreading fire (i.e. oil spray, flammable liquids, or lint dust) due to the possibility that too many sprinklers will operate, reducing the effectiveness of the protection system.  \nClosed VS Open Array  \nConsider a storage array to be an open array unless the arrangement is as described for the closed array fire tests described in NFPA 13, i.e. , 6 in. (150 mm) or less longitudinal flues and no transverse flues, and the arrangement is consistently maintained throughout the warehouse. The differences only apply in limited circumstances.  \n100 Constitution Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06103 Copyright􀂔 2023 , AXA XL Risk Consulting  \nGlobal Asset Protection Services, LLC, AXA Matrix Risk Consultants S.A. and their affiliates (“AXA XL Risk Consulting”) provide loss prevention and risk assessment reports and other risk consulting services, as requested.
