What this means for a real project

EN 12845 High Hazard Process Group 1 (HHP1) fixes the pair of numbers — design density and area of operation — that drive the most-remote hydraulic calculation. The pump duty point, riser diameter and pipe schedule all flow from this classification. Pick the wrong class and the entire system is mis-sized.

In FireTwin AI you set the hazard class once per zone; layout, hydraulics and BOM recalculate inline and flag any rule that fails before the design leaves the screen.

Design it in FireTwin AI

Generate a compliant sprinkler layout, run the hydraulic calculation and export a priced bill of materials — checked against EN 12845 and NFPA 13.
