Do all closets in the hospital need sprinklers to be considered "fully sprinklered" by national standards?
The installation standards for residential occupancies will permit closets to not be sprinklered. However, healthcare occupancies, ambulatory healthcare occupancies and business occupancies should have sprinklers installed in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 1999 edition. Both TJC and CMS would be looking for a sprinkler head in closets.
