Detection required for foam-water deluge systems shall be in accordance with which NFPA standard?

• A. NFPA 15
• B. NFPA 70
• C. NFPA 25
• D. NFPA 13

Answer: (A)

Detection requirements for foam-water deluge systems are governed by the standard that specifically covers foam-water sprinkler and spray systems. NFPA 15 addresses the design, installation, and components of foam-water deluge systems, including how detection and alarms integrate with these systems. The other standards listed do not provide the foam-water deluge-specific detection criteria: NFPA 70 is the electrical code, NFPA 25 covers inspection and maintenance, and NFPA 13 covers general sprinkler installations. Therefore, detection for foam-water deluge systems is specified in NFPA 15.
