DESIGNATION OF HIGH PILED STORAGE
3203.10.1 Unreinforced plastic pallets. For Class I
through IV commodities, where unreinforced polypropyl-
ene or unreinforced high-density polyethylene plastic pal-
lets are used, the commodity classification shall be
increased one class. To be considered unreinforced plastic
pallets, the pallets shall be marked with a permanent sym-
bol indicating the pallet is unreinforced.
3203.10.2 Reinforced plastic pallets. For Class I through
IV commodities, where reinforced polypropylene or rein-
forced hi gh-density polyethylene plastic pallets are used,
the commodity classification shall be increased two
classes except for Class IV commodities, which shall be
increased to a high-hazard (Group A plastic, cartoned,

ities stored on plastic pallets other than polypropylene or
high-density polyethylene plastic pallets, the commodity
classification shall be increased two classes unless specific
testing is conducted by a testing laboratory.
SECTION 3204
DESIGNATION OF HIGH-PILED STORAGE AREAS
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 where 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 th e 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.

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 11, Class Jll,
Class IV or high-hazard commodities. The designation of a
high-piled storage area, or portion thereof intended for stor-
age 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 ofa high-piled combustible storage area, or por-
tion thereof, is all owed to be based on a lower hazard class
than that of the highest class of commodity stored where 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 deli ver 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 all owable design area for sprinkler operation as set
forth in the density/area figures provided in FPA 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 ( 11 1 m2) for dry pipe sys-
tems. The shape of the design area shall be in accordance
with Section 903 .

DEFINITIONS
FLUIDIZED BED. A container holding powder coating
material that is aerated from below so as to fom1 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, 11 A 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.
IBE] 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.
While 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).
[BG] 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 th ere is a need for higher levels of
active and passive protection in the building (see the

access or exit stairways where the entire path for
means of egress from the seating to the ex it dis-
charge is open to the outdoors.
4. For Croup H-1, H-2, H-3 and H-4 occupancies
the total width of means of egress in inches (mm)
shall not be less than the total occupant load
served by the means of egress multiplied by 0. 7
inches (7. 62 mm) per occupant.
Exceptions:
I. For other than Group H and 1-2 occupancies, the
capacity, in inches, of means of egress compo-
nents other than stairways shall be calculated by
multiplying the occupant load served by such
component by a means of egress capacity factor
of 0.15 inch (3.8 mm) per occupant in buildings
equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler
system installed in accor IO l .4.7dance with Sec-
tion 903.3.1.1 or 903.3.1.2 and an emergency
voice/alarm communication system in accor-
dance with Section 907.5.2.2.
2. Facilities with smoke-protected assembly seating
shall be permitted to use the capacity factors in
Table 1029.6.2 indicated for level or ramped
aisles for means of egress components other than
stairways where the entire path for means of
egress from the seating to the exit discharge is
provided with a smoke control system complying
with Section 909.
3. Facilities with open-air assembly seating shall be
permitted to the capacity factors in Section
1029.6.3 indicated for level or ramped aisles for
means of egress components other than stairways
where the entire path for means of egress from
the seating to the exit discharge is open to the
outdoors.
4. For Croup H-1 , H-2, H-3 and H-4 occupancies
the total width of means of egress in inches (mm)
shall not be less than the total occupant load
served by the means of egress multiplied by 0. 4
inches (5. 08 mm) per occupant.
1005.4 Continuity. The minimum width or required capacity
of the means of egress required from any story of a building
shall not be reduced along the path of egress travel until
arrival at the public way.
1005.5 Distribution of minimum width and required
capacity. Where more than one exit, or access to more than
one exit, is required, the means of egress shall be configured
such that the loss of any one exit, or access to one exit, shall
not reduce the available capacity or width to less than 50 per-
cent of the required capacity or width.
l 005.6 Egress convergence. Where the means of egress
from stories above and below converge at an intermediate
2019 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE
MEANS OF EGRESS
level, the capacity of the means of egress from the point of
convergence shall be not less than the largest minimum width
or the sum of the required capacities for the stairways or
ramps serving the two adjacent stories, whichever is larger.
1005.7 Encroachment. Encroach ments into the required
means of egress width shall be in accordance with the provi-
sions of this section.
1005.7.1 Doors. Doors, when fully opened, shall not
reduce the required width by more than 7 inches ( 178
mm). Doors in any position shall not reduce the required
width by more than one-half.
