construction is mandatory Explanation: The sentence in question talks about firefighting system, which I believe also relates to fire prevention. When a fire occurs in a building, there must be some way to contain this fire or fight this fire or put out this fire. Fire alarm can be one method of sensing fire within the building and sprinklers could be activated if they are equipped. https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=fire alarm&hl=ja&rlz=1T4GG... https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=fire alarm&hl=ja&rlz=1T4GG... These systems must be equipped under international standards, especially in Ausutralia. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2014-08-19 08:37:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe I should have answered "construction and equipment of firefighting system is mandatory". |
