Sets out the basis for approval of contractors under the LPS 1048 scheme which aims to ensure that sprinkler systems are appropriate for the occupancy and/or hazard class of the premises in which they are installed, and will operate reliably in the event of fire. Looks at the levels of competence required of contractors for different classes of contract and also defines the circumstances under which contractors require supervision provided by an approved third party.
