What are Class A and Class B warehouse facilities? Does placing a Class A liquid storage tank inside a factory building count as a Class A goods warehouse? ?

A hazardous materials warehouse is a facility used for storing and keeping dangerous substances such as those that are flammable, explosive, toxic, or harmful. Based on their nature of ownership and use, they are classified into two categories: Category A and Category B. Category A includes hazardous materials warehouses in the commercial warehousing industry, transportation sector, and material management agencies, while Category B refers to hazardous materials warehouses used for internal corporate purposes. Among them, Class A hazardous materials warehouses have large storage volumes and a wide variety of items, which results in a high level of danger. Based on size, they can be divided into three categories: those with an area of over 9,000 square meters are classified as large hazardous materials warehouses; those with an area between 550 and 9,000 square meters are considered medium-sized hazardous materials warehouses; and those with an area of less than 550 square meters are classified as small hazardous materials warehouses. Based on the structural type of hazardous materials warehouses, they are classified into above-ground hazardous materials warehouses, underground hazardous materials warehouses, and semi-underground hazardous materials warehouses.

Does placing a Class A liquid storage tank inside a factory building (or room) count as a warehouse for Class A items? ?

It can be called a storage tank for production equipment, avoiding troubles.

If the quantity is large. A small amount can be called a production unit

A factory building is a factory building, and a warehouse is a warehouse. If you produce, then it’s a factory building. If it’s just a storage tank, then its volume should be relatively small; it can be used as a warehouse. Larger storage tanks are generally placed outdoors

According to the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings, Class C liquid storage tanks can be placed within a factory building, provided that their volume does not exceed 5 cubic meters. Strictly speaking, Class A liquid storage tanks cannot be placed inside a factory building.

Does the building code not state that for warehouses storing intermediate goods of categories A and B, as long as the quantity stored does not exceed what can be used within one day or night, it is permissible to place them within the factory building? ? So, as long as the storage volume of Class A liquids does not exceed one day’s supply, can it be placed in the factory building? ?

According to building codes, warehouses for Class A and B intermediate goods can be located within the factory building as long as the quantity stored does not exceed what can be used within one day or night; the items in question refer to those in bagged or barrelled form, belonging to Class A and B. But it doesn’t state that Class A liquid storage tanks can be placed inside the factory building as long as the amount stored does not exceed one day’s supply. Since it is a storage tank, its volume reaches a certain level, which makes it relatively dangerous; it is placed outdoors to prevent accidents. Why must it be placed inside the factory building? Actually, there’s no need to worry about this here or try to find loopholes in these regulations.

Sir, the reason for the confusion is this: in order to ensure the proper operation of the equipment inside the factory building, it is necessary to install Class A and Class B storage tanks there. This raises the question of whether such tanks can indeed be placed within the factory building ? ? I don’t know how to solve this problem ? ?
