This report details the local requirements of the Carlsbad Fire Department, Fire Prevention Bureau as well as nationally recognized standards. XI HIGH PILED STORA GE DEFINED The information presented herein presents proposed storage commodities as described to and understood by the report preparer. Storage racks will be installed to accommodate storage not to exceed 20 feet in height. Warehouse storage array is considered high-pile combustible storage, as defined by CFC Section 209-H; Class I-IV Commodities above 12 feet and plastic materials stored over 6 feet in height. (Technical Reference No, 3) XII COMMODITY CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY & STORAGE ARRA Y The following Commodity Classifications have been evaluated in accordance with NFPA 13 Chapter 2 and Table A-2-2.2.3 Commodity Classes. Materials will not be stored within encapsulated cardboard boxes in the building. (Technical Reference No. 4) General Rack Storage Area Commodity Classification Storage Height Metal Chassis Class I 8ft. Flattened Cartons Class III 20 ft. Wire on plastic spools Class IV 20 ft. Misc. Electronic Components Class IV 20 ft. Packing Materials Group A Plastic < 6 ft. Storage Array Aisle Width: 15ft. Rack/Storage Height: Up to 20 ft Ceiling Height: 26-28 ft Flue Space: 12 in. (double row racks) Fiberglass Circuit Board Storage Area Commodity Classification Storage Height Fiberglass Circuit Boards (in anti-static bags) Group A Plastic 12 ft. Storage Array Aisle Width: 4 ft. Rack Height: 12ft. (double & single row) Shelf Storage: 8ft. Storage Height: Up to 16 ft Ceiling Height: 26-28 ft PARYL K. JAMES & ASSOCIATES - A Fire & Building Code Resource MV Technical Sales Page 6 of 11 XIII CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE - HIGH-PILED STORA GE REQUIREMENTS Multiple High-piled Storage Areas The aggregate of all high-piled storage areas within the building shall be used for the application of Table 81-A. High piled storage areas classified as Class I-IV not separated from high-piled storage areas classified as high hazard will utilize all high-piled storage areas as high hazard for purposes of application of Table 81-A. Rack Storage (25,114 sq.ft. Area) The high-piled storage warehouse area will be in accordance with Article 81, Section 8102.2. The following is required for the storage of High Hazard Commodities within an area 2,501 - 300,000 sq. ft. area as per Table 81-A: • Automatic fire-extinguishing system • Fire detection, • Access doors, • Smoke & heat removal Curtain Boards There is a shared opinion throughout the fire prevention community that the requirement for curtain boards be eliminated based on the suspicion that they may interfere with the ceiling jet thus delaying the response of the sprinkler system and obstructing the spray pattern of the head. This concern has developed into a revision to the requirements for draft curtains as demonstrated in proposed IFC Item 176. This item revises Table 81-A by changing "Yes" to "Not Required" and adding reference to existing Foot 6 to Curtain Boards column for sprinklered buildings. Reason; Recent full scale testing has demonstrated that draft curtains can be detrimental to the successful operation of the fire sprinkler system. In addition, several nationally recognized design standards specifically state that the design criteria they present does not contemplate inclusion of draft curtains. Smoke & Heat Removal Smoke and heat vents are of the approved type and will be operated automatically by activation of a listed and labeled heat-responsive device rated between 100-200 degrees F above ambient temperatures. The responsive-devices activate fully when the vent cavity is exposed to a simulated fire or time/temperature gradient that reaches air temperature of 500 degrees F within five minutes. Smoke and heat vents are capable of being opened by an approved manual operation. As per CFC Table 81-B, vent to ratio floor area shall be 1:50 for high hazard up to 20 feet. Vent to floor area ratio shall be increased to 1:30 to mitigate the elimination of curtain boards. (Technical Reference #5) Small Hose and Stations Small hose connections are also included in the requirements of Table 81-A. It is requested that the hose, nozzle and rack requirements be waived. We do no recommend that employees take time to attempt to fight a fire with 1 !/2 inch hose lines in high-piled storage areas. This is a dangerous fire fighting procedure. The presence of the hose only tempts employees to engage in fire fighting when they should be evacuating the building. DARYL K. JAMES & ASSOCIATES - A Fire & Building Code Resource MV Technical Sales Page 7 of 11 To summarize the request to omit fire hose equipment: > Fire departments are generally trained to use their own equipment. > Employees are directed specifically not to use this equipment, but to evacuate the building. > Liability risks, if employees do use this equipment and are injured or killed. > Maintenance of the equipment is difficult. XIV A UTOMA TIC FIRE PROTECTION (fire extinguishing system) Warehouse Storage Area For the purpose of providing adequate fire protection for the building and occupants, fire protection design criteria is based on the highest classification, High Hazard Commodities, in accordance with NFPA 13. The Ultra K-17 has been proven for storage occupancies by full-scale fire testing and is designed to control high challenge fires in storage occupancies with relatively low required operating pressures. This allows for palletized or rack storage of Class I through Class IV commodities and Group A Plastics up to 25 feet. Manufacturer's Specific Application Guidelines for the Ultra K-17 Sprinkler Head Type of Storage: Single, double, multiple-row and portable rack storage and solid piled or palletized storage. Commodity: Class MV, encapsulated or non-encapsulated, Group A and B plastics-cartoned, expanded or unexpended as well as exposed, unexposed. Maximum Storage Height: 25'-0" Clearance: 36" from deflector to top of storage Max. Ceiling Height in Area of Storage: 30' Construction Type: All types-deflector distances per NFPA 13 System Type: Wet or dry Design Area: 2000 sq. ft. Sprinkler Data: K-Factor 17.0 Orifice .775 Thread Size %" Temperature Raring 200 °F Hydraulic Design Criteria: The design density is .80 gallons per minute per square foot. The area per sprinkler is 100 sq. ft. maximum and 70 sq. ft. minimum. The flow for the sprinklers is calculated by multiplying the density by the area per sprinkler. Spacing: Maximum Spacing is 100 sq. ft. and the minimum is 70 sq. ft. Maximum distance between sprinklers is 12'-0". 12'-6" is allowed in 25*-0". Minimum spacing is 6'-0" apart unless separated by baffles. Obstructions: NFPA criteria for standard spray sprinklers. (Technical Reference #6) PARYL K. JAMES & ASSOCIATES - A Fire & Building Code Resource MV Technical Sales Page 8 of 11 Flue Spaces In double-row racks without solid shelves, a longitudinal flue space shall not be required as per NFPA 13 Section 7-4.1.4.1. Nominal 6-in. transverse flue spaces between loads and at-rack uprights shall be maintained in single-row and double-row racks. Steel Column Protection As per Manufacturer's design criteria specifications, additional column protection is not required when system is installed in accordance with FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 8-9.

GUEST is any person hiring or occupying a room for living or sleeping purposes. GUNPOWDER is any of various powders used in firearms and small arms ammunition as propelling charges. SECTION 209 — H HANDLING is the deliberate movement of material by any means to a point of siorage or use. HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL REACTION is a reaction * hich generates pressure or byproducts which could cause injury, illness or harm to humans, domestic animals, livestock or wildlife. HAZARDOUS FIRE AREA is land which is covered with grass, gram brush or forest, whether privately or publicly owned, w hich is so situated or is of such inaccessible location that a fire originating upon such land would present an abnormally difficult job of suppression or would result in great and unusual damage through fire or resulting erosion. Such areas are designated by the chn:i' on j map maintained in the office of ihe chief. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS are those chemicals or IUCI^JIKI;* which are physical hazards or health hazards as defined and classified in Article 80 whether the materials are in or waste condition. HAZARDOUS PRODUCTION MATERIAL (HPM) is a solid, liquid or gas associated with semiconductor manufacturing mat has a degree-of-hazard rating in health, flammabiliiy or roj;ti\ii> of Class 3 or 4 as ranked by UFC Standard 79-3 and whicn is used directly in research, laboratory or production processes which have as their end product materials which are not ruzardous HAZARDOUS WATERSHED FIRE AREA is a location .•iihm 500 feet (152.4 m) of a forest or brush-, grass- or ^rain-covered land, exclusive of small individual lots or parcels of unj located outside of a brush-, forest- or grass-covered area. HEALTH HAZARD is a classification of a chemical for which mere is statistically significant evidence based on at least one siuj\ conducted in accordance with established scientific princi- ple thai acuie or chronic health effects could occur in exposed Health hazards include chemicals which are carcinogens, toxic or highly toxic materials, reproductive toxins, irritants, cor- rosives, sensitiztrs, hepaiocoxirts, nephrotoxins. neurotojunv agents which act on the hematopoienc system, and agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes or mucous membranes.

A given equivalent value might be approximate. 1-7.2 The conversion procedure for the SI units has been to multiply the quantity by ihe conversion factor and then round the result to the appropriate number of significant digits. Chapter 2 Classification of Occupancies and Commodities 2-1* Classification of Occupancies. Occupancy classifications for this standard shall relate to sprinkler design, installation, and water supply requirements only. They shall not be intended to be a general classification of occupancy hazards. 2-1.1* Light Hazard Occupancies. Light hazard occupancies shall be occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the quantity and/or combustibility of contents is low and fires with relatively low rates of heat release are expected. 2-1.2 Ordinary Hazard Occupancies. 2-1.2.1* Ordinary Hazard (Group 1). Ordinary hazard (Group 1) occupancies shall be occupancies or portions of other occupancies where combustibility is low, quantity of combustibles is moderate, stockpiles of combustibles do not exceed 8 ft (2.4 m), and fires with moderate rates of heat release are expected. 2-1.2.2* Ordinary Hazard (Group 2). Ordinary hazard (Group 2) occupancies shall be occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the quantity and combustibility of contents is moderate to high, stockpiles do not exceed 12 ft (3.7 m), and fires with moderate to high rates of heat release are expected. 2-1.3 Extra Hazard Occupancies. 2-1.3.1* Extra Hazard (Group 1). Extra hazard (Group 1) occupancies shall be occupancies or portions of other occu- pancies where the quantity and combustibility of contents is very high and dust, lint, or other materials are present, intro- ducing the probability of rapidly developing fires with high rates of heat release but with little or no combustible or flam- mable liquids. 2-1.3.2* Extra Hazard (Group 2). Extra hazard (Group 2) occupancies shall include occupancies with moderate to sub- stantial amounts of flammable or combustible liquids or occu- pancies where shielding of combustibles is extensive. 2-1.4* Special Occupancy Hazards. 2-2*f Commodity Classification. 2-2.1 General. 2-2.1.1* Classification of Commodities. Commodity classifi- cation and the corresponding protection requirements shall be determined based on the makeup of individual storage units (i.e., unit load, pallet load). 2-2.1.2 Mixed Commodities. Protection requirements shall not be based on the overall commodity mix in a fire area. Mixed commodity storage shall be protected by the require- ments for the highest classified commodity and storage arrangement. Exception No. 1: Up to 10 pallet loads of a higher hazard commodity, as described in 2-2.3 and 2-2.4, shallb€permitted to beprescnt in an area not exceeding 40,000ft (3716mz). The higher hazard commod- ity shall be randomly dispersed with no adjacent loads in any direction (including diagonally). If the ceiling protection is based on Class I or Class 11 commodities, then the allowable number of pallet loads for Class IV or Group A plastics shall be reduced to five. Exception No. 2; The higher hazard material shall be permitted to be confined to a designated area and properly protected for that area. 2-2.2 Pallet Types. When loads are palletized, the use of wooden or metal pallets shall be assumed in the classifica- tion of commodities. When plastic pallets are used, the clas- sification of the commodity unit shall be increased one class (i.e., Class III will become Class IV and Class IV will become Group A plastics). No increase shall be required for Group A plastic commodity. Exception: When specific test data is available, the data shall take pre- cedence in determining classification of commodities. 2-2.3* Commodity Classes. 2-2.3.1* Class I.

All sprinklers shall be perma- nently marked with a one- or two-character manufacturer sym- bol, followed by up to four numbers, so as to identify a unique model of sprinkler for every change in orifice size or shape, deflector characteristic, and thermal sensitivity. This rule shall become effective on January 1, 2001. 3-2.3 Sprinkler Discharge Characteristics. 3-2.3.1* The K-factor, relative discharge, and marking identi- fication for sprinklers having different orifice sizes shall be in accordance with Table 3-2.3.1. Exception No. 1: Listed sprinklers having pipe threads different from those shown in Table 3-2.3.1 shall be permitted. Exception No, 2: Sprinklers listed with nominal K-factors greater than 28 shall increase the flow by 100 percent increments when compared with a nominal K-5.6 sprinkler. 1999 Edition APPENDIX A 13-169 A-2-2.1.I Commodity classification is governed by the types and amounts of materials (e.g., metal, paper, wood, plastics) that are a part of a product and its primary packaging. How- ever, in a storage or warehousing situation, classification is also affected by such factors as the primary storage or shipping container material, the amount of air space, and the location of the more hazardous materials within the container.

They are "standard response - spray sprinklers" which produce a hemispherical water distribution pattern below the deflector. The Ultra™ K17™ Specific Application Storage Sprinklers are intended for use in fire sprinkler systems designed in accordance with the standard installa- tion rules recognized by the applicable Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on the requirements of the National Fire Protection Associa- tion), as well as in accordance with their "specific application" listing/approvals. The Ultra™ K17™ Specific Application Storage Sprinklers were subjected to full scale, high-piled storage, fire tests to qualify their use with reduced pressure and design areas for the protection of high-piled storage. The use of the Ultra™ K17™ Specific Application Storage Sprinklers in some cases can subsequently reduce the design area and the overall water demand of a sprinkler system. Applications for the Ultra™ K17™ Specific Application Storage Sprinklers are expanding beyond the current 'specific application" listings/approvals. For information regarding research fire tests which may be acceptable to an Authority Having Jurisdiction, please contact the Technical Services Depart- ment. Operation: The glass bulb contains a fluid which expands when exposed to heat. When the rated temperature is reached, the fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the glass bulb, which then allows the sprinkler to activate and flow water. WARNINGS The Ultra™ K17™ Specific Application Storage Sprinklers described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association, in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the integrity of these devices. The owner is responsible for maintain- ing their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted relative to any questions. Technical Data Sprinkler Identification Number SINC7153 Approvals UL & C-UL Listed.

The occasional presence of partially used rolls on top of columns of otherwise uni- form diameter rolls docs not appreciably affect the burning characteristics. A-l-4.12 Roll Paper Storage, Wrapped. Rolls that are com- pletely protected with a heavyweight kraft wrapper on both sides and ends are subject to a reduced degree of fire hazard. Standard methods for wrapping and capping rolls are out- lined in Figure A-J-4.12. In some cases, rolls are protected with laminated wrappers, using two sheets of heavy kraft with a high-temperature wax laminate between the sheets. Where using this method, the overall weight of wax-laminated wrappers should be based on the basis weight per 1000ft2 (92.9 ma) of the outer sheet only, rather than on the combined basis weight of the outer and inner laminated wrapper sheets. A properly applied wrapper can have the effect of changing the class of a given paper to essentially that of the wrapper material. The effect of applying a wrapper to tissue has not been determined by test. A-l-4.12 Roll Paper Storage Height. The size of rolls and lim- itations of mechanical handling equipment should be consid- ered in determining maximum storage height. A-2-1 Occupancy examples in the listings as shown in the vari- ous hazard classifications are intended to represent the norm for those occupancy types. Unusual or abnormal fuel loadings or combustible characteristics and susceptibility for changes in these characteristics, for a particular occupancy, are consider- ations that should be weighed in the selection and classification. The light hazard classification is intended to encompass residential occupancies; however, this is not intended to pre- clude the use of listed residential sprinklers in residential occupancies or residential portions of other occupancies. A-2-1.1 Light hazard occupancies include occupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following: Churches Clubs Eaves and overhangs, if of combustible construction with no combustibles beneath Figure A-l-4.12 Wrapping and capping terms and methods.

While these can form the basis of design criteria, this standard describes the methods of design, installation, fabrication, cal- culation, and evaluation of water supplies that should be used for the specific design of the system. Other NFPA standards contain sprinkler system design cri- teria for fire control or suppression of specific hazards. This information has been either referenced or copied into Chap- ters 5 and 7 using NFPA's extract policy. A-2-2 Specification of the type, amount, and arrangement of combustibles for any commodity classification is essentially an attempt to define the potential fire severity, based on its burn- ing characteristics, so the fire can be successfully controlled by the prescribed sprinkler protection for the commodity class. In actual storage situations, however, many storage arrays do not fit precisely into one of the fundamental classifications; there- fore, the user needs to make judgments after comparing each classification to the existing storage conditions. Storage arrays consist of thousands of products, which make it impossible to specify all che acceptable variations for any class. As an alterna- tive, a variety of common products are classified in this appen- dix based on judgment, loss experience, and fire test results. Table A-2-2 provides examples of commodities not addressed by the classifications in Section 2-2. Table A:2-2.3 is an alphabetized list of commodities with corresponding classifications. Tables A-2-2.3.1 through A-2-2.3.4 and A-2-2.4.1 provide examples of commodities within a specific class.
