Sway Brace Requirements -NFPA

[GreatMech]

Is there anybody can help me whether I should provide sway brace in my design of fire protection system, in case yes. What in NFPA states that I should provide sway brace in my piping. Do I have to consider the siesmic zone map on our location.What if the location based on the seismic map indicates that it is a low hazard seismic zone, should I need this sway brace.My project is located in qatar and its a office type building. please help..
