climate change and weekly testing of sprinkler systems

Former Community Member

hello,

i was wondering, while the world is trying to move in the direction of zero carbon, why do insurance companies still insist on weekly running of large diesel powered engines being run every week on sprinkler systems?

this seems illogical. they won't take the risk if you want to remove the sprinklers, they cannot produce anything in law that says this needs to be done this often, only that this is an industry standard?

i can understand how these industry standards get drawn up, but how to promote change?

thank you

    It sounds very logical to me.  They have decided that a sprinkler system is useless if the pump doesn't work.  And if the sprinklers don't work, that means a bigger claim if there's a fire in the building.
