Are sprinklers required for an H-3 Occupancy, retail fireworks (1.4g class) if less than 125lb?
IBC Section 415.1 states only need a automatic sprinkler if in excess of 125lb (25% of net weight of package fireworks). But, in Chapter 10 Table 1006.2.1, regarding means of egress, it says Not Permitted regarding H-3 units with no sprinkler system. Any help here is appreciated. Thank you!

All new group H occupancies require automatic sprinkler systems. See 415.4 and 903.2.5 of the 2024 IBC.

Glenn makes an important point about the maximum allowable quantities. MAQ is a very important consideration.

The scoping Code (e.g. IBC-2021) identifies where an automatic sprinkler system (ASPS) is required based on the Occupancy Classification(s) (OC) assigned to the building.

Everyone has addressed the IBC requirements but NFPA 13 does not address fireworks. So what Hazard Classification are you going to assign to this?

If it’s classified an H-3 there has to be other chemicals, gasses etc that pose a health risk. H occupancies require sprinklers.
