Issues regarding the application of specifications for methyl acetate construction projects

Building codes should be used; petroleum codes can be referred to as a reference
The scope of application for building codes and stone-related codes is different; I’m posting the scope of application here for everyone’s reference. Code for Fire Protection: 1.0.2 This code applies to the fire protection design of new construction, expansion, or renovation projects in petrochemical enterprises. 1.0.3 In addition to complying with this code, the fire protection design of petrochemical enterprises shall also meet the requirements of **current relevant standards. Building Code: 1.0.2 This code applies to the following newly constructed, expanded, or renovated buildings: residential buildings with 9 floors or fewer (including residential buildings that also house commercial and service facilities) ； 2 Public buildings with a building height of 24.0 m or less ； 3 Single-story public buildings with a building height greater than 24.0 m ； 4 Underground and semi-underground buildings (including basements and semi-basements attached to buildings) ； 5 Factory Buildings ； 6 Warehouse ； 7 Storage tanks (areas) for Class A, B, and C liquids ； 8 Flammable and oxidizing gas storage tanks (areas) ； 9 Combustible material storage area ； 10 urban traffic tunnels. 1.0.3 This specification does not apply to the building fire protection design of **factories (warehouses) and firework factories (warehouses)**. **For the fire protection design of air defense facilities, oil and gas projects, petrochemical enterprises, thermal power plants, and substations, etc., where specific **current standards exist, it is advisable to follow those provisions.
The petroleum testing standards should be used, and the construction standards can be referred to.
Referring to the interpretations of the provisions in the Petrochemical Regulations, projects for the oxidation of methanol to produce formaldehyde should apply the Petrochemical Regulations, with reference to the Building Regulations.
Personal opinion: I agree with what the user above mentioned. After all, the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde takes place in a reactor, not in a workshop.
Is it a mandatory requirement? Thank you! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
In my opinion, if production takes place inside a building, the Building Code should be used with reference to the Petrochemical Code; whereas for outdoor installations, the Petrochemical Code should be applied, with reference to the Building Code.
