Do laboratories and instrument control rooms belong to the same type of building? Don’t the fire safety codes specify their safe distance?

According to GB50160, Table 4.2.1 indicates that control rooms, power distribution rooms, laboratories, offices, and living quarters belong to the same category of buildings, and there are no requirements for fire separation distances between them.

What is not specified in the petrochemical regulations should be in accordance with the requirements of building codes. The 2 separate units have requirements

The regulations for petrochemical facilities are as follows: Article 4.2.21 The layout of the control rooms, power distribution rooms, and laboratories in such facilities shall comply with the following requirements: 1. Control rooms and power distribution rooms should be located on the ground floor of the building; however, if production requirements or other constraints exist, they can be placed on the second floor or higher； II. In installations where flammable gases that are heavier than air may be released, the indoor floors of control rooms, power distribution rooms, and laboratories should be at least 0.6 m higher than the outdoor ground level ； III. The exterior wall of the control room facing the equipment at risk of fire should be a solid wall made of non-combustible material, without any doors, windows, or openings ； IV. Online analytical primary instruments for combustible gases, liquefied hydrocarbons, and combustible liquids shall not be installed inside control rooms or laboratories. When the aforementioned instruments are installed in rooms adjacent to the control room and laboratory, the partition wall between them should be a fire wall.
