I need help from experts: what are the important public buildings and civil buildings referred to in building codes? What specifically are the public and residential buildings in a chemical plant?

According to clause 2.013 of the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\" GB_50016-2006, important public buildings refer to those where a fire can result in heavy casualties, significant losses, and considerable impacts due to the large number of people present. By considering the definitions in 2.0.1 and 2.0.3 of the \"General Rules for Civil Building Design\" GB_50352-2005, it becomes clear: a Civil Building is a non-productive building, referring to buildings that are used for residential purposes and for carrying out public activities. Civil buildings can be divided into two main categories based on their functional use: residential buildings and public buildings.
