It does meet 11.1.2 (subject to a massive interpretation as to what constitutes adequate separation), but does not meet room design because the wall is not fire rated, the doors in the wall are not self-closing and they are not including two heads outside the OH area as required by room design.

And still qualify for room design? Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O. Box 882136 Steamboat Springs, CO 80488 Tel: 970-879-7952 Fax: 970-879-7926 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richardson, R Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 11:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Room Design vs. Adjacent Hazards In reference to 2007 NFPA 13 section 11.1.2 Adjacent Hazards, is this considered a stand-alone code section or does one still have to meet all of the room design criteria. The question is relevant to a situation where a small ordinary hazard space is app. 600 sq.ft. adjacent to a light hazard space and they are using 11.1.2. It seems that section 11.1.2. essentially makes the room design irrelevant.
