(Amendment)Fixed firefighting systems - Components for sprinkler and water spray systems - Part 14: Sprinklers for residential applications
Fixed firefighting systems - Components for sprinkler and water spray systems - Part 14: Sprinklers for residential applications
This document specifies requirements for the construction and performance of residential sprinklers as well as test methods for their type approval, which are operated by a change of state of an element or bursting of a glass bulb under the influence of heat, for use only in automatic sprinkler systems for domestic and residential applications as defined in EN 16925:− .
This standard does not cover representative fire and other tests for special sprinklers that are intended to provide for specific fire hazards, nor does it cover fire and other tests for sprinklers for commercial and industrial sprinkler systems as in EN 12845. Those test requirements are covered by EN 12259-1.
NOTE 1 All pressure data in this European Standard are given as gauge pressures in bar.
NOTE 2 Sprinklers according to EN12259-1 can also be used in residential and domestic applications if the system is designed according to EN 12845.

Overview
EN 12259-14:2020+A1:2022/FprA2 is a CEN standard that specifies construction, performance and type-approval test methods for residential sprinklers. It applies to sprinklers that operate by a change of state of an element or by bursting of a glass bulb under heat, and is intended only for automatic sprinkler systems for domestic and residential applications as defined in EN 16925. The document (including the draft amendment prA2) clarifies scope and test conditions for higher-pressure sprinklers and updates certain test parameters.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and application
- Covers residential-use sprinklers for domestic automatic systems.
- Excludes special-hazard sprinklers and commercial/industrial sprinkler system tests (those are covered by EN 12259-1).
- Construction and performance criteria
- Requirements for mechanical construction and thermally-activated actuation (change of state or glass-bulb burst).
- Type approval and test methods
- Specifies test methods required for type approval of residential sprinklers.
- Important test parameter notes: all pressure data are gauge pressures in bar.
- Amendment/practical test clarifications (prA2)
- Clarifies the types of sprinkler seal covered by the standard (as modified in A1).
- For sprinklers with a pressure rating greater than 12 bar, tests must be performed at the maximum spacing using a flow corresponding to a pressure 5 bar less than the maximum operating pressure.
- Glass bulb breakage test: bulbs are subjected to a uniformly increasing force at a rate of (250 ± 25) N/s until failure.
- Corrections to pressure values and units in clauses C.1.1, C.2.1 and G.1 as part of the amendment.
Applications and users
This standard is essential for:
- Manufacturers designing and certifying residential sprinklers to meet European type-approval requirements.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies conducting performance and glass-bulb tests.
- System designers, specifiers and installers of automatic domestic/residential sprinkler systems who need to select compliant sprinklers.
- Regulatory authorities and fire safety engineers referencing harmonized European test methods and construction requirements.
Related standards
- EN 16925 - definition and scope for domestic and residential systems (referenced for application scope).
- EN 12259-1 - test requirements for commercial and industrial sprinklers; sprinklers meeting EN 12259-1 can be used in residential applications if the system is designed in accordance with EN 12845.
- EN 12845 - design of industrial/commercial sprinkler systems (relevant when using EN 12259-1 sprinklers in residential settings).
