Which standard is referenced for sprinkler zoning in the material?

• A. NFPA 101
• B. NFPA 70
• C. ASHRAE 90.1
• D. IBC

Answer: (A)

Sprinkler zoning is about dividing a building into zones so the sprinkler system can control a fire in a specific area, limit water damage, and coordinate with occupants’ safe egress. The material references a standard that governs life safety and how fire protection features should function, including zoning concepts, which is NFPA 101. The other options focus on electrical systems (NFPA 70), energy efficiency (ASHRAE 90.1), or building construction codes (IBC) and don’t specifically address sprinkler zoning in the same licensing context. So NFPA 101 is the best fit because it centers on protecting life through appropriate fire protection strategies, including how sprinkler systems are organized and applied.
