Fire sprinklers in class 1 buildings (i.e. homes)
The National Construction Code (NCC), Volume 2 does not prescribe the installation of any fire sprinkler system in a Class 1 building. Only smoke alarms are mandatory in the home.
FRNSW does however recommend that residential fire sprinklers, in conjunction with the smoke alarms, be installed in homes as they significantly improve the safety of occupants in the home in the event of fire.
