Where can I find the fire separation distances for Class A and B installations, as well as for factories (or warehouses) of Classes A, B, C, D, and E? How was it determined?

In Table 4.2.12 of the Petrochemical Regulations, only Class A and B facilities and Class A material warehouses or storage areas are required to have fire separation distances; where can one find the requirements for fire separation distances between Class A and B facilities and factories (or warehouses) of Classes A, B, C, D, and E? How was it determined?

Regarding the fire separation distances between Class A and B installations and factories (or warehouses) of Classes A, B, C, D, and E, the relevant requirements can generally be found in ** or local fire codes. In China, the fire separation distances between different types of factories or installations can be determined in accordance with the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings (GB 50016-2014) as well as any industry-specific standards and regulations. The facilities and buildings of petrochemical enterprises are usually classified as flammable and explosive areas, and the fire separation distances for such areas must comply with the following regulations: 1. \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\" (GB 50016-2014): This is the most fundamental fire protection code, which specifies the basic fire separation requirements between different buildings and structures. 2. Industry standards and regulations: For example, the petrochemical and chemical industries in China may have specific standards and regulations, such as the petrochemical regulations you mentioned; these documents provide more detailed guidance for particular locations and conditions. 3. Local fire codes: Some areas may establish stricter fire prevention regulations based on their specific local conditions. When determining fire separation distances, the following factors need to be considered: – The intended use of the building and its fire risk level – The types of materials stored or used within the building – The fire resistance rating of the building’s structure – Potential sources of fire at the site and their associated risks. If specific requirements for fire separation distances between Class A and B installations and Class A, B, C, D, or E factories (or warehouses) cannot be found in Table 4.2.12 of the petrochemical regulations, it may be necessary to consult other relevant industry standards or seek guidance from professionals and fire authorities to obtain accurate information. It is essential to note that the determination of fire separation distances should comply with the latest regulations and standards; therefore, before taking any action, it is necessary to consult the most recent official documents or seek advice from professionals. In practice, the determination of the safety distance should also take into account the company’s own safety assessments as well as the opinions of the fire department. .

The “Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings” GB50016-2014 (2018 edition) states this clearly; it can be consulted. Of course, I don’t know what industry you are in. If it is the fine chemicals industry, then the \"Fire Protection Design Standards for Fine Chemical Enterprises\" GB51283-2020 needs to be referred to

Petrochemical Code 5.2.1 Distances between other process equipment or rooms and other structures; Code for Building Design 3.4.1: Equipment shall be considered as belonging to category II buildings ; Looking forward to confirmation from experts!

It is specified in GB50016; specific details need to be discussed with a unit qualified for design work
