Dry powder fire extinguishers are placed in the evacuation passages

Seeking advice: when reviewing fire protection drawings, I noticed that dry powder fire extinguishers are placed in the evacuation passages. Although a 1800 mm wide passage won’t be blocked, could this pose an obstacle to evacuation? Are there any relevant regulations regarding this? Thank you all
1800, isn’t that quite wide? Is it personnel evacuation, or vehicle evacuation?
The slant on the upper and lower platforms doesn’t seem to be this wide.
It was my mistake; 1800mm, to evacuate the device platform to the escape route. Is it a problem to place dry powder at the columns of the channel?
The platform’s evacuation route leads to the escape stairs; it is 1.8 meters wide, and the dry powder is installed on the pillars along this pathway.
What industry is this platform from? In the case of offshore platforms, walkways must be at least 1 meter wide, escalators must be at least 700 mm wide, and those in residential buildings must be at least 800 mm wide. . . When placing fire extinguishers, it is necessary to consider whether they will pose an obstacle to evacuation and may cause people to trip.
Haha, you didn’t make it clear yourself – since yours is wall-mounted, it obviously meets the requirements
If it’s hung on a wall-mounted pillar, won’t it get in the way of people evacuating?
It is common to place fire extinguishers in evacuation passages, and some of the columns or fire hydrant boxes in those passages also protrude from the wall surface.
No matter how wide it is, as long as it is defined as a passage, fire extinguishers cannot be placed there:):):):)
Are there any explicit requirements? I was too lazy and couldn’t find much
