Is a fire alarm system required in Class C workshops?

Reply #22019-05-13

Basis? These days, the area of Class C workshops in many chemical plants is kept around 1,400 square meters – is it still necessary to install fire alarms?

The installation of fire alarm systems cannot be considered solely from an electrical perspective. Article 13 of 8.4.1 in GB50016-2014 (Version 18) stipulates that such systems must be installed in all areas or locations that need to operate in conjunction with the automatic fire alarm system. This leads us to consider the installation of fire-fighting water systems as well as fire prevention and smoke exhaust systems. For example, according to clause 8.5.2-3, warehouses of category C with a floor area of more than 1,000 square meters require smoke prevention facilities; in such cases, a fire alarm system must certainly be installed. Of course, this is just an example; the specifics depend on the overall situation of the project.

It is designed this way; our offices are all equipped with smoke detectors
