The designation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or por- tion thereof, is allowed to be based on a lower hazard class than that of the highest class of commodity stored when a limited quantity of the higher hazard commodity has been demonstrated by engineering analysis to be adequately pro- tected by the automatic sprinkler system provided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the sprin- kler 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 mini- mum allowable design area for sprinkler operation as set forth in the density/area figures provided in NFPA 13. The contiguous area occupied by the higher hazard commodity shall not exceed 120 square feet (11 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 over a minimum area of 900 square feet (84 m2) for wet pipe systems and 1,200 square feet (111 m2) for dry pipe sys- tems. The shape of the design area shall be in accordance with Section 903. SECTION 3205 HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE 3205.1 Rack structures. The structural integrity of racks shall be maintained. 3205.2 Ignition sources. Clearance from ignition sources shall be provided in accordance with Section 305. 3205.3 Smoking.

The water supply requirements for each individual hazard classification shall be used in the calculations for the de- sign area for that hazard. *For systems with multiple hazard classifications where the higher classification only lies within single rooms less than or equal to 400 ft2 (37.2 m2) in area with no such rooms adjacent, the water supply requirements for the principal occupancy shall be used for the remainder of the system. 12.7.3 The calculations shall satisfy any single point on ap- propriate density/area curves. 12.7.4 The minimum water supply requirements shall be de- termined by adding the hose stream allowance from Sec- tion 12.8 to the water supply for sprinklers as determined by Chapter 12 through Chapter 20. 12.7.5 The minimum water supply requirements determined from 12.7.4 shall be available for the minimum duration speci- fied in Section 12.8. 12.7.6 Total system water supply requirements shall be deter- mined in accordance with the hydraulic calculation proce- dures of Chapter 23. 12.7.6.1 When using the density/area method, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.2.1. 12.7.6.2 When using CMSA, the design area shall meet the requirements of 23.4.4.3.1. 12.7.6.3 When using ESFR sprinklers, the design area shall consist of the most hydraulically demanding area of 12 sprin- klers, consisting of four sprinklers on each of three branch lines, unless other specific numbers of design sprinklers are required in other sections of this standard. 12.7.7 Multiple Adjustments. 12.7.7.1 Where multiple adjustments to the area of operation are required to be made, these adjustments shall be com- pounded based on the area of operation originally selected. 2016 Edition 12.7.7.2 If the building has unsprinklered combustible con- cealed spaces, the rules of Section 12.9 shall be applied after all other modifications have been made. 12.7.7.3 The minimum design density for any sprinkler sys- tem installed in a storage occupancy shall be not less than 0.15 gpm/ft2 (6.1 mm/mm) after all adjustments are made. 12.8 Hose Stream Allowance and Water Supply Duration. 12.8.1* Tanks shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve. 12.8.2* Pumps shall be sized to supply the equipment that they serve. 12.8.3 Water allowance for outside hose shall be added to the sprinkler requirement at the connection to the city main or a yard hydrant, whichever is closer to the system riser. 12.8.4 Where inside hose connections are planned or are required, the following shall apply: A total water allowance of 50 gpm (190 L/min) for a single hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements. A total water allowance of 100 gpm (380 L/min) for a multiple hose connection installation shall be added to the sprinkler requirements. The water allowance shall be added in 50 gpm (190 L/ mm) increments beginning at the most remote hose con- nection, with each increment added at the pressure re- quired by the sprinkler system design at that point. 12.8.5 When hose valves for fire department use are attached to wet pipe sprinkler system risers in accordance with 8.17.5.2, the following shall apply: The water supply shall not be required to be added to standpipe demand as determined from NFPA 14. Where the combined sprinkler system demand and hose stream allowance of Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 exceeds the requirements of NFPA 14, this higher de- mand shall be used. For partially sprinklered buildings, the sprinkler demand, not including hose stream allowance, as indicated in Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 shall be added to the requirements given in NFPA 14. 12.5.6 i1- jndj,,tw,l oiIii i I ii 101101 LIII!

A.4.6 Non-system components can adversely affect the Opera- tion and longevity of the fire sprinkler system. Objects con- nected to the sprinkler system can displace sprinkler system piping, causing obstruction to the spray pattern of sprinklers, delay the activation of a sprinkler, or cause chemical compat- ibility problems that can cause the failure of sprinkler system components. A.5.1 Occupancy examples in the listings as shown in the various 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 considerations 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 oc- cupancies or residential portions of other occupancies.

Typical library bookshelves of approxi- mately 8 ft. (2.4 m) in height, containing books stored vertically on end, held in place in close association with each other, with aisles wider than 30 in. (750 mm) can be considered to be light hazard occupancies. Similarly, library stack areas, which are more akin to shelf storage or record storage, as defined in NFPA 232, should be considered to be ordinary hazard occupancies. A.5.3 For purposes of these definitions, Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class 1V commodities would be considered to have moderate rates of heat release, while Group A plastics would be considered to have high rates of heat release. Stock- piles are considered to include display merchandise (mercan- tile) and arrangements of combustibles ancillary to operations within the occupancy as opposed to dedicated storage areas where the fire loading is generally more severe. A.5.3.1 Ordinary hazard (Group 1) occupancies include oc- cupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following: Automobile parking and showrooms Bakeries Beverage manufacturing Canneries Dairy products manufacturing and processing Electronic plants Glass and glass products manufacturing Laundries Restaurant service areas Porte cocheres Mechanical rooms A.5.3.2 Ordinary hazard (Group 2) occupancies include oc- cupancies having uses and conditions similar to the following: Agricultural facilities Barns and stables Cereal mills Chemical plants - ordinary Confectionery products Distilleries Dry cleaners Exterior loading docks (Note that exterior loading docks only used for loading and unloading of ordinary combustibles should be classified as OH2. For the han- dling of flammable and combustible liquids, hazardous materials, or where utilized for storage, exterior loading docks and all interior loading docks should be protected based upon the actual occupancy and the materials handled on the dock, as if the materials were actually stored in that configuration.)

U I HIGH-PILED COMBUSTIBLE STORAGE 3203.7.3 Group C plastics. Group C plastics are plastic materials having a heat of combustion and a burning rate similar to those of ordinary combustibles. Examples of Group C plastics include, but are not limited to, the fol- lowing: Fluoroplastics (PCTFE, polychlorotrifluoroethylene; PTFE, polytetrafluoroethylene) Melamine (melamine formaldehyde) Phenol PVC (polyvinyl chloride, rigid or plasticized less than 5 percent, e.g., pipe, pipe fittings) PVDC (polyvinylidene chloride) PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) PVF (polyvinyl fluoride) Urea (urea formaldehyde) 3203.7.4 Limited quantities of Group A plastics in mixed commodities. Figure 3203.7.4 shall be used to determine the quantity of Group A plastics allowed to be stored in a package or carton or on a pallet without increasing the commodity classification. SECTION 3204 DESIGNATION OF HIGH-PILED STORAGE AREAS 3204.1 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 3204.2. 3204.2 Designation based on engineering analysis. The designation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or por- tion thereof, is allowed to be based on a lower hazard class than that of the highest class of commodity stored when a limited quantity of the higher hazard commodity has been demonstrated by engineering analysis to be adequately pro- tected by the automatic sprinkler system provided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the sprin- kler 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 mini- mum allowable design area for sprinkler operation as set forth in the density/area figures provided in NFPA 13. The contiguous area occupied by the higher hazard commodity shall not exceed 120 square feet (11 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 over a minimum area of 900 square feet (84 m2) for wet pipe systems and 1,200 square feet (111 m2) for dry pipe sys- tems. The shape of the design area shall be in accordance with Section 903. SECTION 3205 HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE 3205.1 Rack structures.

A container holding powder coating material that is aerated from below so as to form an air-Sup- ported expanded cloud of such material through which the preheated object to be coated is immersed and transported. . A fluidized bed differs from an electrostatic fluidized bed in that the fluidized bed uses an air stream instead of electrostatic charge. The air stream behaves like a fluid as the object is passed through it. Additionally, the object is preheated. In an electro- static fluidized bed, the object is heated/cured in an oven after the coating process. FOAM-EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM. A special system discharging a foam made from concentrates, either mechani- cally or chemically, over the area to be protected. ) Foam-extinguishing systems must be of an approved type and installed and tested to comply with NFPA 11, hA and 16. All foams are intended to exclude oxygen from the fire, cool the area of the fire and insulate adjoining surfaces from heat caused by the fire. Foam systems are commonly used to extinguish flammable or combustible liquid fires (see commen- tary, Section 904.7). While water applied by an auto- matic sprinkler system can only act horizontally upon the surface that it reaches, foam-extinguishing agents have the ability to act vertically in addition to horizon- tally; and, unlike gaseous extinguishing agents, foam does not dissipate rapidly where there is no confined space. Thus, foam systems are also used where there is a need to fill a nonconfined space with extin- guishing material as in the case of certain industrial applications. [BE] FOLDING AND TELESCOPIC SEATING. Tiered seating having an overall shape and size that is capable of being reduced for purposes of moving or storing and is not a building element. •• Bleachers, folding and telescopic seating and grand- stands are essentially unique forms of tiered seating that are supported on a dedicated structural system. All types are addressed in ICC 300, the safety stan- dard for these types of seating arrangements. Folding and telescopic seating are commonly used in gymna- siums and sports arenas where the seating can be configured in a variety of ways for various types of events. "Building element" is a defined term in the IBC which is primarily used in conjunction with the structural elements regulated in Table 601 of the IBC. White telescopic seating may be attached to a wall, the system when pulled out or folded includes its main support system. Such seating is not considered a building element of the building or structure in which it is located (see Section 1029.1.1). IBG] FOSTER CARE FACILITIES. Facilities that provide care to more than five children, 21/2 years of age or less. + Foster care facilities are group homes where children live, not day care facilities. By being under 21/2 years of age, children are assumed not capable of self- preservation, thus there is a need for higher levels of active and passive protection in the building (see the I I I I I I I I I d I I I I LI I 2015 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE® COMMENTARY 2-49 - Copyright © 2015 ]CC.
