Commodity Classification The information presented herein presents proposed storage conditions as described to and understood by this report preparer. Commodity classifications have been evaluated in accordance with CFC Chapter 23 Sec. 2303 and NFPA 13 Sec. A.5.6.3 Cartoned and Exposed Class I-IV Commodities Unassembled cardboard boxes (neat piles); paper in boxes, pants, jerseys, gloves, baseball caps key chains, wallets and nylon backpacks Cartoned and Exposed Group A Plastics Fiberglass helmets, gloves, body guards, vinyl steering wheel covers, boots, skate shoes and bed in a bag Rack Storage Array Type of Rack: Single Row (without solid shelves) Storage Height: Up to 17-ft. Ceiling Height : 22-ft-26-ft. Rack .Storage Area: 28,140ft2 Commodity Class: Class I-IV (Based on Option 1 only)* Rack Aisles: 8-ft OPTION A: Mixed Commodities (1) Protect mixed commodity storage by the requirements for the highest classified commodity (Group A Plastics) and storage arrangement as per NFPA Section 5.6.1.2.1. JL,NFPA 13 Section 5.6.1.2.3 The protection requirements for the lower hazard commodity class (Class IV) shall be permitted to be utilized where all of the following are met: 1) Up to 10 pallet loads of the higher hazard commodity shall be permitted to be present in an area not exceeding 40,000 ft2. 2) The higher hazard commodity shall be randomly dispersed and no adjacent loads in any direction (including diagonally). (2) Limited weight of Group Plastics can be allowed when mixed with other classes of commodities. Figure 2303.7.4 may be used to determine the quantity (<14%) of Group A plastics allowed to be stored in a package or carton or on a pallet without increasing the commodity classification. Weight of plastic in pallet load 'Percentage by Weight = Total weight of pallet load, including pallet where applicable Weight measurements and resulting Percentage by Weight, as provided by No Fear. (3) *CFC 2306.3.2.2 - Exception: As Provided for in CFC Section 2304.2 CFC 2304.2 Designation Based on Engineering Analysis allows the designer to make use of the benefits of the hydraulic system. The lower hazard commodities, Class I-IV may be stored in a portion of the warehouse that the available water and pressure will be sufficient for a higher hazard (Group A Plastic) commodity. This is because sprinkler systems are designed for the most remote areas; therefore, areas closer to the riser will receive more water and higher pressure.

SECTION 2304 DESIGNATION OF HIGH-PILED STORAGE AREAS 2304.1 General. High-piled storage areas, and portions of high-piled storage areas intended for storage of a different commodity class than adjacent areas, shall be designed and specifically designated to contain Class I, Class II, Class III, Class IV or high-hazard commodities. The designation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or portion thereof intended for storage of a different commodity class, shall be based on the highest hazard commodity class stored except as provided in Section 2304.2. 2304.2 Designation based on engineering analysis. The des- ignation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or portion thereof, is allowed to be based on a lower hazard class than that of the highest class of commodity stored when a limited quan- tity of the higher hazard commodity has been demonstrated by engineering analysis to be adequately protected by the auto- matic sprinkler system provided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the sprinkler system to deliver the higher density required by the higher hazard commodity. The higher density shall be based on the actual storage height of the pile or rack and the minimum allowable design area for sprin- kler operation as set forth in the density/area figures provided in NFPA 13. The contiguous area occupied by the higher haz- ard commodity shall not exceed 120 square feet (111 m2) and additional areas of higher hazard commodity shall be separated from other such areas by 25 feet (7620 mm) or more. The sprin- kler system shall be capable of delivering the higher density 282 over a minimum area of 900 square feet (84 m2) for wet pipe systems and 1,200 square feet (11 m2) for dry pipe systems. The shape of the design area shall be in accordance with Section 903. SECTION 2305 HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE 2305.1 Rack structures. The structural integrity of racks shall be maintained. 2305.2 Ignition sources. Clearance from ignition sources shall be provided in accordance with Section 305. 2305.3 Smoking. Smoking shall be prohibited. Approved "No Smoking" signs shall be conspicuously posted in accordance with Section 310. 2305.4 Aisle maintenance. When restocking is not being con- ducted, aisles shall be kept clear of storage, waste material and debris. Fire department access doors, aisles and exit doors shall not be obstructed. During restocking operations using manual stocking methods, a minimum unobstructed aisle width of 24 inches (610 mm) shall be maintained in 48-inch (1219 mm) or smaller aisles, and a minimum unobstructed aisle width of one-half of the required aisle width shall be maintained in aisles greater than 48 inches (1219 mm). During mechanical stocking operations, a minimum unobstructed aisle width of 44 inches (1118 mm) shall be maintained in accordance with Section 2306.9. 2305.5 Pile dimension and height limitations.
