BS 9252 – Components for residential sprinkler systems. Specification and test methods for residential sprinklers.

When an EN standard with the same coverage as an existing BS document is published, the BS document is superseded. Therefore, BS9252 covering sprinkler heads for residential and domestic use is superseded as EN 12259-14 is published.
