Which term describes the testing criteria sprinklers must meet?

• A. Test Results
• B. Special Sprinklers
• C. Nominal K-5.6
• D. Listing Limitations

Answer: (A)

Testing confirms whether a sprinkler design satisfies the applicable standard. The results of those tests—the test results—show if it meets the required performance, and that is the term used to describe the criteria the sprinkler must meet. After testing, a product that passes is listed, but the phrase that directly reflects whether it met the performance requirements is the test results. The other options don’t describe the criteria the sprinkler must meet: “special sprinklers” isn’t a testing-criteria term, the hydraulic term related to flow is a separate concept, and “listing limitations” describe constraints after listing rather than the testing criteria itself.
