How should concrete tanks containing Class A and Class B liquids be classified? ?

How should concrete tanks (50-100 m3) containing Class A and B liquids be classified? (Do they need to be classified as Class A or B?) ? What should be used to determine the fire separation distances from roads, buildings, etc.? ? ?
If used occasionally as a liquid storage tank, it can only serve as an emergency tank; there are no fire separation requirements from other structures. If it is to be used for long-term liquid storage, the tank should be classified according to the properties of the liquid stored in it (in my opinion, this falls more under the category of storage facilities)
If it is for long-term storage and used as a storage tank, does that mean it should be designed according to the standards of storage tanks? ? But no evidence can be found
Storing liquid in this pool over the long term is clearly more dangerous than storing it in a tank, as tanks come equipped with safety and fire suppression measures. I think classifying your pool as equivalent to a tank is an underestimation of the risks involved. The reason I can’t find any basis for this is that liquids with such a high hazard factor should not be stored in tanks. So there is no basis to find. I suggest you confirm with the technical team what standards need to be met for this liquid to be stored in tanks
Petroleum industry regulations: This table can be referred to, as specified in Table 5.2.1 of the petroleum industry regulations, which deals with sewage tanks containing flammable liquids, in order to determine the fire protection distance
5.2 refers to the planar layout within the facility; for sewage tanks containing flammable liquids, this table should be consulted in order to determine the fire protection distances. This approach is applicable only when such a layout is used within the facility. Attention should be paid to sewage tanks that contain flammable liquids, not just pure flammable liquids. I believe storage tanks for pure Class A liquids should not be mixed together with wastewater tanks that contain flammable liquids.
