Class B factories and Class B warehouses are constructed adjacent to each other

This post was last edited by A sword rainbow on 2015-9-21 17:05. Can a Class B factory building and a Class B warehouse for storing the products manufactured in that factory be constructed adjacent to each other?
How much of Category B items are stored in Category B warehouses?
The total storage amount is less than 550 tons, so it does not constitute a significant hazard source
They shouldn’t be adjacent. . . .
There must be a distance of at least 12 meters between Class B warehouses or factories, and the fire resistance rating of the buildings must also be Grade 1 or Grade 2
According to the building codes for 2014, the height for Class B factories and warehouses with fire resistance ratings of Class 1 or 2 is 10 meters, as stated in Table 3.4.1. Notes 2 and 3 below Table 3.4.1 specify the requirements for two factories built adjacent to each other; I would like to know whether these notes can also be applied to the relationship between a factory and a warehouse.
Factories and warehouses are different types of buildings, and the spacing between them must be established in strict accordance with regulatory requirements； However, it is allowed to create a small compartment in the factory building for temporarily storing a small amount of chemicals
Not applicable! Strict spacing for Category A and B!
I think if the original poster really wants to combine these two, it would be better to treat this Class B warehouse as an intermediate warehouse for the Class B factory building, with a firewall installed between the two. In this way, the two form a whole, as long as the area of the fire compartment meets the requirements. As for the original poster’s concern about factories being able to be built adjacent to each other, I would say that warehouses are more dangerous than factories; just because factories can be built in such a manner doesn’t mean warehouses can as well.
Not applicable! The wording in the standards is quite precise; if a provision applies to both factories and warehouses, it will be clearly stated, for example… factories (warehouses). If not mentioned, it does not apply.
Intermediate warehouses also have certain requirements: 1) The substances stored must be of the nature of raw materials and semi-finished products; they cannot be finished products； 2) The storage time should not exceed the amount required for one day and night. I am currently working in a product warehouse, and the volume of goods is quite large; it’s not possible to set up an intermediate warehouse there.
