Sec. 102-80.100  What performance objective should an automatic sprinkler 
system be capable of meeting?

    The performance objective of the automatic sprinkler system is that 
it must be capable of protecting human lives. Sprinklers should be 
capable of controlling the spread of fire and its effects beyond the 
room of origin. A functioning sprinkler system should activate prior to 
the onset of flashover.
