NFPA 13 course in Rome: the complexity behind the efficiency of sprinkler systems

The operating principle of a sprinkler system may seem disarmingly simple: a pressurised pipe that releases water to control or extinguish flames in the event of a fire.

However, those working in the field of fire protection are well aware that behind this apparent simplicity lies an extremely complex design that must meet numerous technical, regulatory and performance requirements.
The NFPA 13 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems is the most authoritative global reference for the sizing, selection, installation and testing of sprinkler systems.

By participating in our NFPA 13 course, you will explore fundamental topics such as:

• Classification of occupational risks and determination of design density;
• Types of sprinklers and selection criteria for different environments;
• Configurazione delle reti idrauliche: sistemi wet, dry, preaction e deluge;
• Hydraulic calculations: methods for sizing and performance verification;
• Criteria for spacing, location and positioning of sprinklers;
• Periodic maintenance and inspection of systems in accordance with standards;
• Regulatory adjustments and main differences compared to European standards, in particular UNI EN 12845.

The course will take place in Rome from 29 September to 2 October 2025, for a total of 5 days of intensive training.

This knowledge is now essential both for operating in international contexts and for ensuring the correct design of systems in compliance with applicable regulations.

The course is aimed at designers, engineers, technical managers, safety managers, risk engineers and insurance assessors, as well as all professionals who wish to acquire in-depth, applicable knowledge of automatic water extinguishing systems.
