Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Light (low) Hazard. Locations where the total amounts of Class A combustible
				  materials, including furnishings, decorations and contents, is of minor
				  quantity. These shall include buildings or rooms occupied as offices,
				  classrooms, churches, assembly halls, etc. This classification anticipates that
				  the majority of contents are either noncombustible or so arranged that a fire
				  is not likely to spread rapidly. Small amounts of Class B flammables used for
				  duplicating machines, art departments, etc., are included provided that they
				  are kept in closed containers and safely stored.
(b) Ordinary (Moderate) Hazard. Locations
				  where the total amounts of Class combustibles and Class B flammables are
				  present in greater amounts than expected under Light (Low) Hazard occupancies.
				  These occupancies could consist of offices, classrooms, mercantile shops and
				  allied storage, light manufacturing, research operations, auto showrooms,
				  parking garages, workshop or support service areas of Light (Low) Hazard
				  occupancies, and warehouses containing Class I or Class II
				  commodities.
(c) Extra (High)
				  Hazard. Locations where the total amount of Class A combustibles and Class B
				  flammables are present, in storage, production use, and/or finished product
				  over and above those expected and classed as ordinary (moderate) hazards. These
				  occupancies could consist of woodworking, vehicle repair, aircraft and boat
				  servicing, individual product display showrooms, product convention center
				  displays, storage and manufacturing processes such as painting, dipping,
				  coating, including flammable liquid handling. Also included is warehousing of,
				  or in-process storage of other Class I and Class II commodities.

(a)
				  Extinguishers shall be selected for the specific class or classes of hazards to

(c) Extinguishers for protection of Class B
				  hazards shall be selected from the following: carbon dioxide, dry chemical
				  types, halogenated agent types, and water-type and water chemical extinguishers
				  rated for Class B hazards.
(d)
				  Extinguishers for protection of Class C hazards shall be selected from the
				  following: carbon dioxide, dry chemical types, halogenated agent types, and
				  water mist types rated for Class C. Carbon dioxide extinguishers equipped with
				  metal horns are not considered safe for use on fires in energized electrical
				  equipment and, therefore, are not classified for use on Class C
				  hazards.
(e) Extinguishers and

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  The minimum number of fire extinguishers needed to protect a property shall be
				  determined as outlined in this section. Additional extinguishers may be
				  installed to provide more suitable protection.
(b) Fire extinguishers shall be provided for
				  the protection of both the building structure and the occupancy hazards
				  contained therein.
(c) Required
				  building protection shall be provided by fire extinguishers suitable for Class
				  A fires.
(d) Occupancy hazard
				  protection shall be provided by fire extinguishers suitable for such Class A,
				  B, C, D, or K fire potentials as may be present.
(e) Extinguishers provided for building
				  protection may be considered also for the protection of occupancies having a
				  Class A fire potential.
(f)
				  Buildings having an occupancy hazard subject to Class B and/or Class C fires
				  shall have a standard complement of Class A fire extinguishers for building
				  protection, plus additional Class B and/or Class C extinguishers. Where fire
				  extinguishers have more than one letter classification (such as 2-A:20-B:C),
				  they may be considered to satisfy the requirements of each letter class. When
				  using multi-purpose extinguishers for the protection of Class B hazards, the
				  maximum travel distances described in Table 2 must be observed.
(g) Rooms or areas shall be classified
				  generally as light (low) hazard, ordinary (moderate) hazard, or extra (high)
				  hazard. Limited areas of greater or lesser hazard shall be protected as
				  required.
(h) On each floor level,
				  the area protected and the travel distances shall be based on fire
				  extinguishers installed in accordance with Tables 2 and 3.
(i) Fire extinguishers shall not be
				  obstructed or obscured from view.
EXCEPTION: In large rooms, and in certain locations where
					 visual obstruction cannot be completely avoided, means shall be provided to
					 indicate the fire extinguisher's location.
(j) Fire extinguishers shall be conspicuously
				  located along normal paths of travel where they will be readily accessible and
				  immediately available in the event of a fire.
(k) Portable fire extinguishers containing
				  halogenated agents shall conform to confined space volume requirement warnings
				  contained on the fire extinguisher nameplates.
(l) Wheeled fire extinguishers shall be used
				  for hazard protection in areas in which a fire risk assessment has shown the
				  following:
(1) High hazard areas are
				  present.
(2) Limited availability
				  of personnel is present; thereby requiring an extinguisher that has the
				  following features:
(A) High agent flow
				  rate
(B) Increased agent stream
				  range
(C) Increased agent
				  capacity
