How is the safety distance determined between Class D equipment and other installations outdoors in Class A factories (fine chemicals)?
Thread Content
Outdoors a closed Class A factory building, there are Class D equipment. Should this Class D equipment be treated as Class D, or should it be regarded as Class A, just like the factory building itself? The \"Fire Protection Standards for Engineering Design of Fine Chemical Enterprises\" GB51283-2020 does not contain any requirements in this regard. Note 1 in Table 4.2.9 states that the fire separation distance between such facilities and high-rise buildings, as well as production facilities of categories D and E, shall be determined in accordance with the current standard \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\" GB 50016. Should the fire separation distance for Class D equipment be determined directly based on that of Class D production facilities?
Take a look at this storage tank: it holds raw materials, intermediate tanks that are essential for production, and finished products – depending on its specific function. Class D is simply Class D; usually, a maintenance passage is sufficient between it and Class A workshops.
