Introduction
The response characteristics of classic sprinklers (EN 12259-1 and EN 12259-15) is based on the
measurement of both sensitivity and conductivity (C-factor). For EN 12259-13 sprinkler type (ESFR)
their response characteristics are determined without reference to its conductivity.

4 Assessment methods and criteria
4.1 Tolerances
If not given differently in the specific clause below, the tolerances of Annex A shall be applied.
4.2 Connections
4.2.1 Assessment method
The sprinkler connection, e.g. the thread size, shall be assessed by measurements.
4.2.2 Criteria
The thread connections of the sprinkler shall be in accordance with ISO 7-1 or shall be grooved
connections. Alternative connection methods that have been tested and validated for use in fire sprinkler
systems also fulfil 4.2.2.
4.3 Durability of coated sprinklers
4.3.1 Assessment method
Expose 12 coated sprinklers for a period of 90 days in an oven at a temperature of 30 °C below the
nominal operating temperature. At intervals of 7 days, remove the sprinklers from the oven, allow to cool
for 2 h to 4 h and inspect the coating with the unaided eye, corrected for normal vision if necessary.
Return the sprinklers to the oven. At the end of the exposure period, remove the sprinklers from the oven,
cool them again and re-examine the coating.
4.3.2 Criteria
The coating shall show no visible evidence of damage.
4.4 High temperature exposure
4.4.1 Assessment method
The assessment method given in EN 12259-1:1999+A1:2001, Annex O shall be applied.
