The laboratory is located on the third floor of a Class C warehouse in a separate fire compartment
Thread Content
I would like to consult fellow experts: the company currently has a three-story warehouse of Class C, with separate fire compartments on each of the first, second, and third floors. We now intend to convert the third floor into a laboratory. Is it possible to make design changes so that the warehouse is reclassified as a building for production support purposes, with the first and second floors remaining as warehouses and the third floor being used as a laboratory? Are there any relevant standards that support this? Thank you
SHT 3103-2019 Code for Design of Laboratory Buildings in Petrochemical Plants; refer to GB 50160, GB 50016, and GB 50984 as well
General Code for Fire Protection of Buildings GB55037-2022 \"4.2.7 Employee dormitories and other rooms that have no direct relation to the operation and management of the warehouse shall not be installed within the warehouse.\" ”Generally, only auxiliary rooms designated for use in warehouses or factories can be located within them.
If you change its name, it’s still a warehouse; its essence doesn’t change
Converting one of the floors in the warehouse into a laboratory is likely not in compliance with the standards
Can I put the R&D team in the office building?
