South African Fire Sprinklers: Why SANS 10287 Compliance is Crucial for Warehouses and Factories
When it comes to protecting warehouses, factories, and industrial spaces from fire, having the right sprinkler system is not just smart — it’s the law. In South Africa, the installation and maintenance of automatic fire sprinklers are governed by the SANS 10287 standard.
This nationally recognised standard sets out strict requirements for:
🔹 The design and installation of sprinkler systems
🔹 Water supply and pressure specifications
🔹 Ongoing maintenance and testing
🔹 Ensuring sprinklers activate quickly in emergencies
For warehouse and factory owners, compliance with SANS 10287 isn’t optional. It is required for:
✅ Meeting fire safety regulations and avoiding legal penalties
✅ Lowering insurance risk and premiums
✅ Safeguarding employees, assets, and inventory
