Sprinklerfrämjandet, the Swedish sprinkler association and EFSN member, has reported a record number of sprinklers were shipped in Sweden in 2013. Data have been collected since 1980 and show an upwards trend as a greater proportion of new buildings are fitted with sprinklers. Last year 518,100 sprinklers were sold, of which 34,400 were residential sprinklers. Both figures are records and confirm Sweden as the second country in Europe, after Norway, for intensity of sprinkler usage.
