INSTALLATION Sprinklers must be handled with care. They must be stored in a cool, dry place in their original shipping container. Never A WARNING Viking sprinklers are manufactured and tested to meet rigid requirements of the approving agencies. The sprinklers are designed to be installed in accordance with recognized installation standards or FM Global Loss Prevention Data Sheets. System design must be based on ESFR design guidelines described in the latest edition of the applicable FM Global Loss Prevention Data Sheets, the latest NFPA Standards, the latest standards of Verband der Sachversicherer (VdS), Loss Prevention Council (LPCB), the Authorities Having Jurisdiction, and also with the provisions of govern- mental codes, ordinances, and standards whenever applicable. Deviation from the standards or any alteration to the sprinkler after it leaves the factory including, but not limited to: painting, plating, coating, or modification, may render the sprinkler inoperative and will automatically nullify the approval and any guarantee made by The Viking Corporation. install sprinklers that have been dropped or damaged in any way. Such sprinklers should be destroyed immediately. NOTE: Wet pipe systems must be provided with adequate heat. The sprinklers must be installed after the piping is in place to prevent mechanical damage. Before installing, be sure to have the appropriate sprinkler model and style, with the correct orifice size, temperature rating, and response characteristics. With the sprinkler contained in the plastic protective cap, apply a small amount of pipe-joint compound or tape to the male threads only, while taking care not to allow a build-up of compound in the sprinkler orifice. Use ONLY sprinkler wrench 13635W/B (shown in Figure 1) for installing ESFR Sprinkler VK5101 With the sprinkler contained in the protective cap, install the sprinkler onto the piping by applying the sprinkler wrench to the sprinkler wrench flats only, while taking care not to damage the sprinkler operating parts. DO NOT use any other type of wrench, as this could damage the unit. - DO NOT use the sprinkler deflector or fusible element to start or thread the sprinkler into a fitting. DO NOT exceed 20-30 ft. lbs. of torque (hand tight plus I to 1-1/2 tuirns with the wrench; over-tightening may distort the sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. E. After installation, the entire sprinkler system must be tested. The test must be conducted to comply with the Installation Standards. Make sure the sprinkler has been properly tightened. If a thread leak occurs, normally the unit must be removed, new pipe-joint compound or tape applied, and then reinstalled. This is due to the fact that when the joint seal is damaged, the sealing compound or tape is washed out of the joint. Immediately replace any damaged units, using the special sprinkler wrench only.

After installation and testing and repairing of all leaks, remove the protective caps from the sprinklers. Do NOT use any type of tool to remove the cap. Remove the cap by hand: turn it slightly and pull it off the sprinkler. When removing caps, use care to prevent dislodging or damaging sprinkler fusible element. THE CAPS MUST BE REMOVED FROM SPRINKLERS BEFORE PLACING THE SYSTEM IN SERVICE! 5. OPERATION During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive fusible element assembly disengages, releasing the seat and belleville spring assembly to open the waterway. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern to suppress the fire. 6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE The owner is responsible for maintaining the fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. For minimum maintenance and inspection requirements, refer to the NFPA standard that describes care and maintenance of sprinkler systems. In addition, the Authorities Having Jurisdiction may have additional maintenance, testing, and inspection requirements that must be followed. A. The sprinklers must be inspected on a regular basis for corrosion, mechanical damage, obstructions, paint, etc. The frequency of inspections may vary due to corrosive atmosphere, water supplies, and activity around the device. B. Sprinklers that have been painted or mechanically damaged must be replaced immediately. Sprinklers showing signs of corrosion shall be tested and/or replaced immediately as required. Installation standards require sprinklers to be tested and, if necessary, replaced after a specified term of service. For Viking ESFR Pendent Sprinklers, refer to the Installation Standards (e.g., NFPA 25) and the Authorities Having Jurisdiction for the specified period of time after which testing and/or replacement is required. Sprinklers that have operated cannot be reassembled or reused, but must be replaced. When replacing sprinklers, use only new sprinklers. C. The sprinkler discharge pattern is critical for proper fire protection. Therefore, nothing should be hung from, attached to, or otherwise obstruct the discharge pattern. All obstructions must be immediately removed or, if necessary, additional sprinklers installed. D. When replacing existing sprinklers, the system must be removed from service. Refer to the appropriate system description and/ or valve instructions. Prior to removing the system from service, notify all Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Consideration should be given to employment of a fire patrol in the affected area. Remove the system from service, drain all water, and relieve all pressure on the piping. Using the special sprinkler wrench, remove the old sprinkler and install the new unit. Care must be taken to ensure that the replacement sprinkler is the proper model and style, with the correct orifice size, temperature rating, and response characteristics. A fully stocked spare sprinkler cabinet should be provided for this purpose. Place the system back in service and secure all valves. Check the replaced sprinklers and repair all leaks. E. Sprinkler systems that have been subject to a fire must be returned to service as soon as possible. The entire system must be inspected for damage and repaired or replaced as necessary. Sprinklers that have been exposed to corrosive products of combustion, but have not operated, should be replaced. Refer to the Authorities Having Jurisdiction for minimum replacement requirements. 7.

A summary of our findings is outlined below and includes your request, proposal, justification, and Carlsbad Fire Department's (CFD) conditions of approval. Request Review the sprinkler protection criteria and associated flue space requirement based on FM Global insurance requirements, as specified in the respective FM Global Datasheets listed in the high-piled storage report V1. 1. Code Requirement: In accordance with the 2016 CFC Section 3206.8 and Table 3206.2, smoke and heat vents are required for high-piled storage greater than 2500 sf of high hazard commodities when ceiling level CMDA type sprinkler systems are installed. Code Intent: The California Fire Code, Section 104.9 permits the fire code official to approve an alternative material, design or method of construction if deemed satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provision of this code. See attached report for specific design criteria on FM Datasheets, since the sprinkler criteria associated flue spaces for the two high piled rack storage areas (<2500 ft2) is a substantial portion of the report. Proposal: Design and install the required sprinkler protection designs and associated flue space requirements based on FM Global insurance requirements where specified in the report. Fire Department Fire Prevention 1635 Faraday Ave. I Carlsbad, CA 92008 1760-602-4660 1 www.carlsbadca.gov Millipore Sigma 04-23-2021 Justification: Millipore Sigma's insurance carrier is FM Global. The insurance carrier has slightly different fire protection requirements for high-piled storage as compared to NFPA 13. However, we reference fire protection requirements based on NFPA 13 in the report conservatively and provide additional justification s for use of FM Global requirements instead. It must be noted that since the facility is FM Global insured, the sprinkler protection and designs will also be reviewed and approved by FM Global insurance. CFD's Response The above stated proposal and justification has been evaluated' against requirements held in the California Fire Code and local amendments by the City of Carlsbad. After consideration, the above proposal does not provide any justification as to why you can't comply with the requirements of NFPA 13 and the California Fire Code. The fact that the facility is insured by FM Global does not override the requirements of the codes and standards adopted by the State of California and the City of Carlsbad. You must demonstrate which specific sections of NFPA 13 that you want to propose an FM Datasheet in lieu' of, why the data sheet provides' and equal to or greater level of protection for the specific code requirements found in NFPA 13. We will not accept a blanket substitution of NFPA 13 for FM Global Datasheets, based solely on the premise that the property is insured by FM Global. FM Global's review and approval and approval of the fire protection design also can't be taken into consideration during the City of Carlsbad review process. It is the opinion of CFD that the proposed substitution has been adequately beenjustified to provide life safety and property protection in lieu of strict code compliant fire protection for high-piled storage.

Item 6: Previously we applied FM Global Datasheet 8-9 regulations in specifying the ceiling density (ESFR) for the Millipore Sigma warehouse. Millipore Sigma decided that it is not necessary to apply FM regulations in lieu of NFPA 13 standard specifications. Therefore we changed the ceiling density to ESFR, 12 sprinklers flowing at 15 psi, K- 25.2 pendent heads based on NFPA 13. This change is reflected in the updated HPS. report V1.2, as well as in the updated Carlsbad HPS Form. If you have any questions or need additional information, do not hesitate to call us. Your consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Elley Klausbruckner, PE Fire Code Consultant KLAUSBRUCKNER 2495 Truxtun Road.

High-Piled Storage Requirements The highest hazard commodities for the Rack Storage Areas #1 and #2 (high-piled) are classified as cartoned unexpanded Group A/High Hazard commodities on wood and plastic pallets on open shelving in single row racks. The highest hazard commodities for the Shelf Storage Area #3 (non high-piled) above the Mezzanine are (conservatively) classified as cartoned and exposed, expanded and unexpanded Group A/High Hazard commodities. The highest hazard commodities for the Cold Room and Floor Storage Areas (non high-piled) are (conservatively) classified as cartoned and exposed, expanded and unexpanded Group A/High Hazard commodities. The highest hazard commodities for the Below-Mezzanine Floor Storage Area (non high-piled) are (conservatively) classified as cartoned and exposed, expanded and unexpanded Group A/High Hazard commodities. Additionally offices and lab space are planned. The following commodity classification per CFC Section 3203.2 through 3203.7, 3203.8 and Table 3203.8 is designated as Class l-IV and Group A/High Hazard: (Attachment #4) Table 3. High-Piled Storage Specifications By Storage Area Products (Attachment #4) Method of Storage Storage Height Open Shelving Pallet Type Cartoned Encap- sulated Commodity Class* Cardboard Boxes With Plastic Items In Them Warehouse GROUP (Bottles In Plastic Single Row :5 20'-0" 20'-O" Yes Plastic Yes Yes Bags, Limited Racks " HAZARD, Packaging Foam) UNEXPANDED based on the highest riazara commodity. Freezer cabinets located on floor in Rack Area #2 Protection is for cartoned unexpanded Group A plastics, any expanded Group A Plastics (uncartoned or cartoned with > 40% expanded Group A plastics by volume) stored in the warehouse needs to be stored away from the racks on the floor to 5 ft with no other storage above or in the shelves above the Mezzanine. Rack Storage: Per CFC Section 3204.1, a high-piled combustible storage area shall be based on the highest hazard commodity class stored except as provided in Section 3204.2. Therefore, the highest commodity class stored within the high-piled storage/rack storage area is cartoned unexpanded Group A/High Hazard. (Attachments #3 and #5) Floor Storage to 5 ft: Per CFC 202 (Attachment #3), the definition of high-piled combustible storage does not include high-hazard/Group A plastics where the top of storage is less than 5 feet in height, nor does it include all other commodities (Class l-IV) where the top of storage is 12 feet or less in height; therefore the requirements of CFC Chapter 32 is not applicable to MILLIPORE SIGMA's floor storage area. Based on Table 3206.2, the following fire protection requirements will be provided by MILLIPORE SIGMA to meet the requirements of CFC Chapter 32 and NFPA 13 for the entire storage area (Attachment #6, #6A). Rev 1.2 - MILLIPORE SIGMA KLAUSBRUCK.CR Page 8 6211 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, CA AND ASSDCArCS High Piled Storage is planned to extend througout the warehouse area. Therefore, extent and type of protection (including automatic sprinkler design densities) shall extend throughout the warehouse. 4.1 Automatic Fire Sprinkler System The following requirements are based on NFPA 13 (2016 Edition): 4.1.1 Rack Storage Areas #1 and #2 (Attachments #6 and #6A) Type of Storage: Single Row Racks, Freezer Cabinets * * Located at Floor Level of Rack Area #2 (see Attachment #1 for Location) Type of Shelving: 50% or greater open Commodity Stored: CLASS l-IV, CARTONED UNEXPANDED GROUP A PLASTICS Flue Spaces for Standard Racks See Section 4.9 for more details on single row rack flue space requirements Aisle Widths: ~ 44" (typ. 9'-6" for Rack Area #1, 7'-7" for Area #2) Storage Height: :5 20'-0" Ceiling Height: 5 301-011 Ceiling Sprinkler: Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) K-25.2, pendent sprinklers Minimum 12 flowing sprinklers at 15 psi Maximum coverage area 100 ft2, minimum spacing between sprinklers 8'-0", maximum spacing between sprinklers 12'-0", minimum 36" clearance from deflector to top of storage, hose allowance of 250 gpm (60 minutes).

The fire safety features in Table 3206.2 shall be extended beyond the higher-hazard storage area in accordance with Section 3206.2.1. Exception: Multiple class high-piled storage areas do not need to be separated where in accordance with Section 3204.2 (i.e. based on the worst-case commodity). As mentioned in Section 4.0 of this report, protection for the High Piled Storage Area is planned to extend througout the warehouse area. Therefore, extent and type of protection (including automatic sprinkler design densities) shall extend throughout the warehouse. 6.4 Allowable Area and Sidèyards The building is existing. No proposed changes to type of construction, building square footage or occupancy unless otherwise specified by the Architect of Record.

Through the balance of the code, occupancy classification is fundamental in the setting of features of construction; occupant safety require- ments, especially building limitations; means of egress; fire protection systems; and interior finishes. SECTION 301 SCOPE 301.1 General. The provisions of this chapter shall control the classification of all buildings and structures as to occu- pancy and use. Different classifications of occupancy and use represent varying levels of hazard and risk to building occu- pants and adjacent properties. SECTION 302 OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION AND USE DESIGNATION 302.1 Occupancy classification. Occupancy classification is the formal designation of the primary purpose of the building, structure or portion thereof. Structures shall be classified into one or more of the occupancy groups listed in this section based on the nature of the hazards and risks to building occu- pants generally associated with the intended purpose of the building or structure. An area, room or space that is intended to be occupied at different times for different purposes shall com- ply with all applicable requirements associated with such potential multipurpose. Structures containing multiple occu- pancy groups shall comply with Section 508. Where a structure is proposed for a purpose that is not specifically listed in this section, such structure shall be classified in the occupancy it most nearly resembles based on the fire safety and relative haz- ard. Occupied roofs shall be classified in the group that the occupancy most nearly resembles, according to the fire safety and relative hazard, and shall comply with Section 503.1.4. 1. Assembly (see Section 303): Groups A-i, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5. Business~(seection 304): Group B. I I 3. [SFM] Organized Camps (see Section 450). Group C. Educational (see Section 305): Group E.

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 Ill, 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 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 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 (ill 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 total amount of nonfree-flowing Group A plastics shall be limited in accordance with Section 3203.9. 3203.6 High-hazard commodities. High-hazard commodi- ties are products presenting special fire hazards beyond those of Class I, II, 111 or IV. Group A plastics not otherwise classi- fied are included in this class. 3203.7 Classification of plastics. Plastics shall be designated as Group A, B or C in accordance with Sections 3203.7.1 through 3203.7.3. 3203.7.1 Group A plastics. Group A plastics are plastic materials having a heat of combustion that is much higher than that of ordinary combustibles, and a burning rate higher than that of Group B plastics. 3203.7.2 Group B plastics. Group B plastics are plastic materials having a heat of combustion and a burning rate higher than that of ordinary combustibles, but not as high as those of Group A plastics. 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. 3203.8 shall be used to determine the commodity classifica- tion for various products and materials. Products not found in the list shall be classified based on the classification descriptions in Sections 3203.2 through 3203.6 and the products they most nearly represent in Table 3203.8. Table 3203.8 considers the product and the packaging if listed with the item. Products with additional packaging consist- ing of Group A plastics shall be classified in accordance with Section 3203.9. The commodity classifications are based on products with, or without, wood pallets. Where plastic pallets are used, the commodity classification shall be modified in accordance with Section 3203.10. 3203.9 Limited quantities of Group A plastics in mixed commodities. Figures 3203.9(1) and 3203.9(2) shall be used to determine the commodity classification based on the quan- tity of Group A plastics in the following situations: The product is not listed in Table 3203.8 and contains Group A plastics. The commodity contains Group A plastics and is not classified as high-hazard in Table 3203.8. The product listing in Table 3203.8 does not specifi- cally include packaging, and the packaging material includes Group A plastics. 3203.9.1 Classifying mixed commodities with limited Group A plastics.

Commodities shall be classified as Class I, II, III, IV or high hazard in accordance with Sections 3203.2 through 3203.10.3. Materials listed within each commodity classification are assumed to be unmodified for improved combustibility characteristics. Use of flame-retarding modifiers or the physical form of the mate- rial could change the classification. 3203.2 Class I commodities. Class I commodities are non- combustible products in ordinary corrugated cartons with or without single-thickness dividers, or in ordinary paper wrap- pings with or without wood pallets. The amount of Group A plastics shall be limited in accordance with Section 3203.9. 3203.3 Class II commodities. Class II commodities are Class I products in slatted wooden crates, solid wooden boxes, multiple-thickness paperboard cartons or equivalent combustible packaging material with or without wood pallets. The amount of Group A plastics shall be limited in accor- dance with Section 3203.9. 3203.4 Class III commodities. Class III commodities are products of wood, paper, natural fiber cloth, or Group C plas- tics or products thereof, with or without wood pallets. The amount of Group A plastics shall be limited in accordance with Section 3203.9. 32035 Class IV commodities. Class IV commodities are Class I, II or ifi products containing Group A plastics in ordi- nary corrugated cartons; Class I, H and III products with Group A plastic packaging; Group B plastics; and free-flow- ing Group A plastics with or without wood pallets. The total amount of nonfree-flowing Group A plastics shall be limited in accordance with Section 3203.9. 3203.6 High-hazard commodities. High-hazard commodi- ties are products presenting special fire hazards beyond those of Class I, II, III or IV. Group A plastics not otherwise classi- fied are included in this class. 3203.7 Classification of plastics. Plastics shall be designated as Group A, B or C in accordance with Sections 3203.7.1 through 3203.7.3. 3203.7.1 Group A plastics. Group A plastics are plastic materials having a heat of combustion that is much higher than that of ordinary combustibles, and a burning rate higher than that of Group B plastics. 3203.7.2 Group B plastics. Group B plastics are plastic materials having a heat of combustion and a burning rate higher than that of ordinary combustibles, but not as high as those of Group A plastics. 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. 3203.8 Examples of commodity classification. Table 3203.8 shall be used to determine the commodity classifica- tion for various products and materials. Products not found in the list shall be classified based on the classification descriptions in Sections 3203.2 through 3203.6 and the products they most nearly represent in Table 3203.8. Table 3203.8 considers the product and the packaging if listed with the item. Products with additional packaging consist- ing of Group A plastics shall be classified in accordance with Section 3203.9. The commodity classifications are based on products with, or without, wood pallets. Where plastic pallets are used, the commodity classification shall be modified in accordance with Section 3203.10. 3203.9 Limited quantities of Group A plastics in mixed commodities. Figures 3203.9(l) and 3203.9(2) shall be used to determine the commodity classification based on the quan- tity of Group A plastics in the following situations: The product is not listed in Table 3203.8 and contains Group A plastics. The commodity contains Group A plastics and is not classified as high-hazard in Table 3203.8. The product listing in Table 3203.8 does not specifi- cally include packaging, and the packaging material includes Group A plastics. 3203.9.1 Classifying mixed commodities with limited Group A plastics. The percentage of Group A plastics determined in accordance with Section 3203.9.2 shall be used in Figures 3203.9(1) and 3203.9(2). Results from Figure 3203.9(1) must be compared to results from Figure 3203.9(2) and the commodity will be classified with the highest 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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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. Smoking shall be prohibited. Approved "No Smoking" signs shall be conspicuously posted in accor- dance with Section 310. 3205.4 Aisle maintenance. When restocking is not being conducted, aisles shall be kept clear of storage, waste mate- rial and debris. Fire department access doors, aisles and exit doors shall not be obstructed.

For insulation that is installed in a manner that causes it to deflect or sag down from the ceiling or roof structure, the clearance to ceiling shall be measured from the top of storage to a point half of the distance of the deflection from the insu- lation high point to the insulation low point. If the deflection or sag in the insulation exceeds 6 in. (150 mm), the clearance to ceiling shall be measured from the top of storage to the high point of the insulation. 12.1.3.4.2 For spray sprinkler criteria where the clearance to ceiling exceeds those identified in this section, the require- ments of 12.1.3.4.3 through 12.1.3.4.8 shall apply. 12.1.3.4.3 Where the clearance to ceiling exceeds 20 ft (6.1 m) for Chapters 14 and 15, protection shall be based upon the storage height that would result in a clearance to ceiling of 20 ft (6.1 m). 12.1.3.4.4 Where the clearance to ceiling exceeds 20 ft (6.1 m) for Section 16.2, protection shall be based upon the storage height that would result in a clearance to ceiling of 20 ft (6.1 m) or providing one level of supplemental, quick- response in-rack sprinklers located directly below the top tier of storage and at every flue space intersection. 12.1.3.4.5 Where the clearance to ceiling exceeds 10 ft (3.0 m) for Section 16.3 or Section 17.2, protection shall be based upon the storage height that would result in a clearance to ceiling of 10 ft (3.0 m) or providing one level of supplemen- tal, quick-response in-rack sprinklers located directly below the top tier of storage and at every flue space intersection. 12.1.3.4.6 Where the clearance exceeds 10 ft (3.0 m) for Sec- tion 17.3, protection shall be based upon providing one level 2016 Edition . .

Test 125, when compared with Test 133, indicates no sig- nificant difference in result between approved low-profile sprinklers and standard sprinklers in the racks. C.10 [16.1.4 and 17.1.4] Temperatures in the test column were maintained below 1000°F (538°C) with densities, of roof ceiling sprinklers only, of 0.375 gp1n/ft2 (15.3 mm/mm) with 8 ft (2.4 m) aisles and 0.45 gpm/ft2 (18.3 mm/mm) with 4 ft (1.2 m) aisles using the standard commodity. C.11 [16.1.6.1 and 17.1.5.1] Test 98 with solid shelves 24 ft (7.3 m) long and 71/2 ft (2.3 in) deep at each level produced total destruction of the commodity in the main rack and jumped the aisle. Density was 0.3 gpm/ft2 (12.2 mm/mm) from the ceiling sprinklers only. Test 108 with shelves 24 ft (7.3 m) long and 3½ ft (1.0 m) deep and with a 6 in. (150 mm) longitudinal flue space and one level of sprinklers in the rack resulted in damage to most of the commodity in the main rack but did notjump the aisle. Density from ceiling sprinklers was 0.375 gpm/ft2 (15.3 mm/mm), and rack sprinklers dis- charged at 15 psi (1.0 bar). These tests did not yield sufficient information to develop a comprehensive protection standard for solid shelf racks. Items such as increased ceiling density, use of bulkheads, other con- figurations of sprinklers in racks, and limitation of shelf length and depth should be considered. Where such rack installations exist or are contemplated, the damage potential should be considered, and sound engi- neeringjudgment should be used in designing the protection system. Test 98, with solid shelving obstructing both the longitudi- nal and transverse flue space, produced unsatisfactory results and indicates a need for sprinklers at each level in such a rack structure. Test 147 was conducted with ceiling sprinklers only. Density was 0.45 gpm/ft2 (18.3 mm/mm) with a sprinkler spacing of 100 ft2 (9.3 m2). A total of 47 sprinklers opened, and 83 per- cent of the commodity was consumed. The fire jumped both aisles and spread to both ends of the main and target racks. The test was considered unsuccessful. Test 148 was conducted with ceiling sprinklers and in-rack sprinklers. In-rack sprinklers were provided at each level (top of first, second, and third tiers) and were located in the longi- tudinal flue. They were directly above each other and 24 ft (7.3 m) on center or 22 ft (6.7 m) on each side of the ignition flue. Ceiling sprinkler discharge density was 0.375 gpm/ft2 (15.3 mm/mm). In-rack sprinkler discharge pressure was 30 psi (2.1 bar). A total of 46 ceiling sprinklers and three in- ercent of the commodity was of the material between both aisles. C.12 [16.1.7 and 17.1.6] Fire tests with open-top containers in the upper tier of storage and a portion of the third tier of storage produced an increase in sprinkler operation from 36 to 41 sprinklers and a more pronounced aisle jump and in- crease in firespread in the main array. The smooth underside of the containers closely approximates fire behavior of slave pallets. C.13 [16.1.10 and 17.1.9] Test 80 was conducted to determine the effect of closing back-to-back longitudinal 6 in. (150 mm) flue spaces in conventional pallet racks. Test results indicated fewer sprinklers operating than with the flue space open, and, as such, no minimum back-to-back clearance is necessary if the transverse flue space is kept open. Tests 145 and 146 were conducted to investigate the influ- ence of longitudinal and transverse flue dimensions in double-row racks without solid shelves. Results were compared with Tests 65 and 66. Flue dimensions in Tests 65, 66, 145, and 146 were 6 in. (150 mm), 6 in. (150 mm), 3 in. (75 mm), and 12 in. (300 mm), respectively. All other conditions were the same. In Tests 65 and 66, 45, and 48, sprinklers operated com- pared with 59 and 58 for Tests 145 and 146, respectively. Fire damage in Tests 145 and 146 was somewhat less than in Tests 65 and 66; 2100 ft3 (59 in3) and 1800 ft' (51 m3) in Tests 145 and 146, respectively, versus 2300 ft" (65 m3) and 2300 ft' (65 m3) in Tests 65 and 66, respectively, of combustible mate- rial were consumed. Test results indicate narrow flue spaces of about 3 in. (75 mm) allow reasonable passage of sprinkler water down through the racks. Tests 96 and 107, on multiple-row racks, used 6 in. (150 mm) transverse flue spaces. The water demand recom- mended in the standard is limited to those cases with nominal 6 in. (150 mm) transverse flues in vertical alignment. C.14 [16.2.1.3.1] Tests 65 and 66, compared with Test 69, and Test 93, compared with Test 94, indicated a reduction in areas of application of 44.5 percent and 45.5 percent, respectively, with high temperature-rated sprinklers as compared with or- dinary temperature-rated sprinklers. Other extensive Factory Mutual tests produced an average reduction of 40 percent.

Longitudinal flue space. The flue space between rows of storage perpendicular to the direction of loading. . The longitudinal flue space is a continuous open area between a double row- or multiple-row-type rack stor- age system. The flue space is to be clear for a set dimension, as required in Table 3208.3, from the floor to the top of the highest commodity for the entire length of the rack system. The flue spaces are an important feature for automatic sprinkler systems to effectively suppress and potentially control the fire. Reducing or eliminating such spaces will potentially reduce, if not eliminate, sprinkler effectiveness (see Commentary Figure 202-F5). Transverse flue space. The space between rows of stor- age parallel to the direction of loading. -*.-The transverse flue space is a continuous open area between commodities in single-row-, double-row- and multiple-row-type rack storage systems. The flue space is to be clear for a set dimension, as required in Table 3208.3, from the floor to the top of the high- est commodity for the entire width of the rack system. The flue spaces are an important feature for auto- matic sprinkler systems to effectively suppress and potentially control the fire. Reducing or eliminating such spaces will potentially reduce, if not eliminate, sprinkler effectiveness (see Commentary Figure 202- 175). _n_ LONGITUDINAL }TRANSVERSE PLAN VIEW L!PACE; Figure 202-F5 FLUIDIZED BED. 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, 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. [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. 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, 2'/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 W Co ighl - W, I 'CC.
