If a flammable liquid is introduced into the reaction vessel inside the factory building for reaction, should such a factory building be classified as Category A?

If a Class A flammable liquid is fed into the reactor inside the factory building for reaction (with the storage tank located at a safe distance outside), should this factory building be classified as Class A as well? The reaction vessel should be able to be placed inside the factory building, right? What are the requirements for the distance between the reactor and other equipment in the plant?
Class A factories are not classified in this way; please refer to the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings
Could you please give an example, thank you?
First, determine the fire classification of the chemicals you store or use; for example, whether it belongs to category A. Then, check the amount you use against the limits set for storing such chemicals in the building. If the amount is above these limits, then it falls under category A; if it’s below those limits, you need to consider other chemicals, and ultimately the highest classification among them will determine the fire type for your facility.
