Is there a regulation in the fire code that restaurants must have sprinkler systems?

Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings GB50016-2006

The following places should be equipped with automatic fire extinguishing systems, except for those who are not suitable for water protection or fire extinguishing and those otherwise specified in this code, automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing systems should be used:

1. The unpacking and flowering workshop of the cotton spinning mill with more than or equal to 50,000 spindles; Grading and carding workshops of hemp spinning mills with more than or equal to 5,000 spindles; Roasting stems and screening parts of the match factory; Pre-hairing, molding, slicing, and embossing parts of the foam plastic factory; Wood workshop covering an area of more than 1500m2; Single-storey and multi-storey shoemaking, garment, toys and electronics plants covering an area of more than 1,500 m2 or a total construction area of more than 3,000 m2; high-rise Class C workshop; Preparation of aircraft engine test benches; Class C underground plant with a construction area of more than 500m2;

2. Each warehouse covers an area of more than 1000m2 of cotton, wool, silk, linen, chemical fiber, fur and its products; Each match warehouse with an area of more than 600 m2; empty mail bag warehouse with a construction area of more than 500 m2 in the postal building; Underground warehouses for combustible materials with a construction area of more than 500m2; high-bay warehouses and high-rise warehouses (except cold storage) for combustible and non-combustible materials;

3 Theatres of the Grand Class, First Class or other classes exceeding 1,500 seats; Auditoriums or auditoriums with more than 2,000 seats; a stadium with more than 3,000 seats; indoor personnel lounges and equipment rooms in stadiums with more than 5,000 people;

4. Exhibition buildings, shops, hotel buildings, as well as wards, outpatient buildings, and operating departments of the same building size in hospitals with a construction area of more than 1,500 m2 or a total construction area of more than 3,000 m2 on any floor; Underground shops with a floor area of more than 500 m2;

5. Office buildings with centralized air conditioning systems with return air ducts (pipes) and a total construction area of more than 3000m2;

6. Above-ground singing, dancing, entertainment, screening, and amusement venues (except swimming venues) installed on the underground, semi-underground, or four or more floors above ground, or on the first, second, and third floors of a building with a construction area of more than 300 m2;

7 Libraries with a collection of more than 500,000 volumes.

Therefore, if your hotel is in a shopping mall with a floor area greater than 1500m2 or a total floor area greater than 3000m2, it is necessary to go up, if not, according to the specifications, it is not necessary to set up self-spraying.

The key is the overall situation of the building where the restaurant is located, and the fire protection is not a single consideration of the restaurant place, but the overall building situation and even the adjacent building situation to determine what the requirements are.
