The proper place to start is the applicable Fire Code. Doesn't matter how small, the Fire Code is the FIRST STEP. It will probably end up as Steve wrote, between OH 2 and EH 2, but there may be other issues, too, that are beyond the sprinkler design.
In open use has the potential to damage property and hurt people depending upon the chemicals and whether they are in gas, liquid, or solid form...

Flammable gasses? This is so subjective ... it could be an EH II just as surely as an OH II. Steve Leyton -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 11:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Small Chemical Storage Room I have a project with a small chemical prep/storage room that is 253 sf (19' x 13'4). NFPA 13 calls out chemical labs as OH2, but I can't find anything about the storage/prep. This is a community college science lab. What would be the appropriate design criteria for this room, or what would be the proper code to reference?
