Class C workshops are equipped with Class A intermediate warehouses
Thread Content
As the title suggests: Can a Class A intermediate warehouse be installed in a Class C workshop? Of course, the storage volume in Class A warehouses for one day and night should not exceed 5% of the total area. Is this okay?
Which one according to? Clause 3.1.2 refers to workshops rather than warehouses when determining the fire classification based on the most hazardous materials. 3.3.6 It is correct that intermediate warehouses can be set up, but once a Class A warehouse is established in a Class C workshop, how should the fire classification be determined?
Intermediate warehouses classified as Category A are permitted, and the area of their fire compartments shall not exceed the specified limit for such compartments. The total shall not exceed the area of the fire compartment in the factory building
Intermediate warehouses do not affect the assessment of the fire hazard in the factory building
Class A intermediate warehouses can be set up. The 5% requirement does not apply to intermediate warehouses; please read Article 3.1.2 of the building codes carefully. The area of the intermediate warehouse should not exceed the area of one fire compartment in the warehouse, and its area should also not exceed the area of one fire compartment in the factory building.
In a workshop, the area designated as an intermediate warehouse may account for less than 5%, and this proportion can be determined based on the fire hazard level of the workshop; however, such a warehouse is not allowed
Building codes do not allow it. The petrochemical regulations can
The building code is the primary standard; if something is not allowed by the building code, then it certainly isn’t allowed by any other supplementary standards either.
The current situation is that for new projects, the design agency will definitely refuse to agree (as it does not meet the requirements outlined in clause 3.1.2 of the building codes)； However, for a completed project, as long as all aspects of its design meet the requirements, it should be compliant (in accordance with Code for Rock Engineering 6.6.1). There’s nothing to do about it – safety standards these days are all set at their maximum levels!
This uses Article 3.1.2 of the Building Code, right?
