A report or certification from the Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety) who prepared the alternative solution report relied on by the certifying authority

Question 4

Why is a building's effective height an important input when checking NCC fire-safety requirements for sprinkler and hydrant design?

Because effective height only affects kitchen joinery selections Because the NCC ignores height for all fire services Because effective height is used only for landscaping setbacks Because several NCC sprinkler and fire-fighting equipment provisions escalate with greater effective height (for example around the 25 m threshold)

Correct Answer:

Because several NCC sprinkler and fire-fighting equipment provisions escalate with greater effective height (for example around the 25 m threshold)
