Classification Of Occupancies

Light Hazard Occupancies:Light Hazard Occupancies:--Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the quantity Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the quantity and or combustibility of and or combustibility of

contents are low and fires contents are low and fires with relatively low rates of heat release are expectedwith relatively low rates of heat release are expected..

Ordinary Hazard Occupancies:Ordinary Hazard Occupancies:• Ordinary Hazard (Group 1):Ordinary Hazard (Group 1): Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where

combustibility is low, quantity of combustibility is low, quantity of combustible is moderatecombustible is moderate, stockpiles of combustibles do not , stockpiles of combustibles do not exceed 8ft (2.4m), and fires with moderate rates of heat releaseexceed 8ft (2.4m), and fires with moderate rates of heat release are expected.are expected.

•• Ordinary Hazard (Group 2):Ordinary Hazard (Group 2): Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where quantity and combustibility of contents quantity and combustibility of contents is moderate to high,is moderate to high, stockpiles do not exceed 12ft (3.7m), stockpiles do not exceed 12ft (3.7m), and fires with moderate to high rates release are expected.and fires with moderate to high rates release are expected.

Extra Hazard Occupancies:Extra Hazard Occupancies:--Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where quantity and Occupancies or portions of other occupancies where quantity and combustibility of combustibility of

contents contents is very high and flammable and combustible liquidsis very high and flammable and combustible liquids, dust, lint, or other materials are , dust, lint, or other materials are present, introducing the probability of rapidly developing firespresent, introducing the probability of rapidly developing fires with high rates of heat releasewith high rates of heat release.
