You would need to look at the FM listing of the head. All heads should be listed as storage or non and quick or standard response in the FM approval guide, which is available online. If the head isn’t FM listed and you’re going to use it anyway typically anything with an RTI <50 (ESFR, listed quick response, residential) would be accepted as QR to FM.
