Candles, uh, shouldn't that be "LIGHT" hazard. (candle light........ ok never mind)
Sounds like you could actually use the Occupancy Classification of EH-2 (plastics processing) for the manufacturing/production area and then use the Group A Plastics criteria for storage area if there is one. It all depends on their work flow and what they do with the finished product. 5 ft. storage racks might be all they need for a small operation for cooling prior to packaging. Sounds like you need a bit more information on the work flow process and their storage plans prior to shipping and for receiving raw goods. Craig L.

Could anyone offer some ideas on the Occupancy Classification for a 3,000 tenant space in a sub-divided industrial building where the tenant takes blocks of parrafin wax and after heating, coloring, processing, and such makes finished candles for mail order shipment. The design professional is indicating that this is an OH-2 and is choosing .2 gpm/ft over 1500 for his design curve. This limits the storage height to 5 feet which will be a matter for later enforcement ..... Using the appendix the commodity classification makes it a Group A plastic, but if they went occupancy classification since its under 12 foot storage wouldnt this be closed to an Extra 1 class? Any thoughts or experiences to relate ? Dave P.
