Is the production facility for frame structures a factory building?
Thread Content
In safety assessments, it is common to encounter production facilities that use steel-concrete or steel frames; most of these frames are open, with some parts having been enclosed to serve as areas for operation, rest, or other auxiliary purposes. Should such frame structures be treated as factory buildings? In the case of a factory building, must the fire protection areas, fire compartments on each floor of the framework, as well as the installation of staircases, all be in accordance with the requirements of building codes?
A factory building refers to a complex of structures used for the production and processing of various items; steel-concrete or steel-frame structures should be considered factory buildings. According to 1.0.3 of GB50016—2006 \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\", this code does not apply to the fire protection design of explosive factory (warehouse) and firework factory (warehouse) buildings. For the fire protection design of civil air defense facilities, oil and gas projects, petrochemical enterprises, thermal power plants, and substations, etc., when there are specific **current standards, it is advisable to follow those provisions.

Civil air defense facilities, oil and gas projects, petrochemical enterprises, thermal power plants, and substations all have specific fire protection design standards, but what about ordinary chemical enterprises?
Chemical enterprises shall comply with the Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises; this code is applicable to the fire protection design of new construction, expansion, or renovation projects in the petrochemical industry that use petroleum, natural gas, and their derivatives as raw materials.

This does not belong to a factory building (though there is controversy on this point; in my personal opinion, devices that require maintenance should be treated as factory buildings, otherwise they should be treated as devices).
Requirements for implementing fire protection are not included in the building area
It certainly belongs to a factory building, and it must comply with building fire safety regulations as well as the requirements regarding the installation of fire extinguishers.
For some outdoor installations, the area of the fire compartments is much larger than what is required by the Building Code; it’s unclear how this is accommodated
No answer has been found to this question yet; there’s no need to be so depressed. Same question; I hope fellow netizens can offer some guidance
Is there a roof? Without a roof, it’s definitely not a house; it’s called an outdoor installation.
