Can 34 types of raw materials and auxiliary materials in Category A be stored in a Category A warehouse?
Thread Content
Since the quantities of raw materials and components classified as Category A, items 3 and 4, are less than 500 kg, it is not economical to establish a separate warehouse for them. Can they be stored in Category A warehouses (1, 2, 5, 6, 7), with a separate area set aside, using an independent fire compartment, and designed in accordance with the requirements for Category A items 3 and 4? Is this permitted by the regulations?
It is not allowed by the regulations. In accordance with the requirements of relevant fire safety design codes: 1. The items stored in Class A warehouses should be stored in separate warehouses and areas based strictly on their hazard categories. The raw materials and components in categories 3 and 4 of Class A have different hazardous properties from those in categories 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 of Class A; items of different categories within Class A must not be stored together in the same fire compartment. 2. For Category A items 3 and 4, even if the total weight is less than 500 kg, for safety reasons, they cannot share the same fire compartment or storage area with other Category A items. 3. The regulations clearly state that items of different hazard categories must be stored separately, with independent fire compartments and corresponding fire protection measures established for each. Therefore, even if the isolation area is designed separately in accordance with the requirements of Items 3 and 4 of Category A, it still does not meet the fire safety regulations and safety principles; a separate building or a dedicated warehouse (or fire compartment) should be constructed. .
