2.2.2.2 Fire-resistance rating of structural elements shall be determined under standard testing conditions. Fire-resistance rating of load bearing and sheltering structural elements under standard testing conditions or calculated results shall be expressed by the amount of time after which one or several limit states subsequently occur:  

- Loss of stability (expressed by the letter R);  

- Loss of integrity (expressed by the letter E);  

- Loss of insulation (expressed by the letter I) as temperature of the non-burning surface reaches the limit value;  

Loss of limitation of heat radiation (expressed by the letter W) as heat flux measured from a definite distance from the non-burning surface of the structural elements/structures reaches the limit value;  

NOTE 1: Fire-resistance rating of structural elements is determined by using combustibility test under TCVN 9311-1 through TCVN 9311-8 or equivalent standards or by using calculations according to approved fire resistance design standards.  

Fire-resistance ratings of smoke and air ducts shall be determined in accordance with ISO 6944 or equivalent standards.  

NOTE 2: The required fire-resistance ratings of specific structural elements are specified under this Regulation and Technical regulations of each construction. The required fire-resistance rating of structural elements are expressed by REI, REW, EI, EW, EIW, RE, or R accompanied by the duration of sustaining fire in minutes. For example: If a structural element has required fire-resistance rating of REI 120, the structural element must be able to maintain its stability, integrity, and insulation for 120 minutes while being affected by the fire. If a structural element has required fire-resistance rating of R 60, the structural element must be able to maintain its stability for 60 minutes while being affected by the fire regardless of insulation and integrity.  

NOTE 3: A structural element is considered to fulfill fire-resistance rating requirements if any of the following conditions is met:  

a) The structural element shares similar design and technical characteristics with a combustibility test sample whose fire-resistance rating as determined by the test is not lower than the required fire-resistance rating of the structural element.  

b) Fire-resistance rating of the structural element as determined by calculations according to applicable fire resistance standards is not lower than the required fire-resistance rating of structural element.  

c) The structural element has design and technical characteristics matching those of structural elements which are listed under Appendix F together with respective nominal fire-resistance ratings not lower than the required fire-resistance rating of the structural element.  

2.2.3 Classification of structural elements by fire risks  

2.2.3.1 By fire risks, structural elements are classified into 4 levels:  

K0 (no fire risks);  

K1 (limited fire risks);  

K2 (moderate fire risks),  

K3 (fire risks).  

2.2.3.2 Criteria for placing a structural element under any specific fire risk level shall be determined by using methods stated under Vietnam’s standards (or equivalent) pertaining to fire safety testing.  

NOTE 1: Without testing, structural elements are placed under fire risk levels as follows:  

a) K0 - when the structural elements are made solely from non-combustible materials;  

b) K1 - when outer surface of the structural elements are made from materials that are classified as Ch1, BC1, and SK1 or higher in terms of safety;  

c) K2 - when outer surface of the structural elements are made from materials that are classified as Ch2, BC2, and SK2 or higher in terms of safety;  

d) K3 - when outer surface of the structural elements are made from materials that are classified as either Ch3 or BC3 or SK3  

NOTE 2: Glass façade of a building is considered a K0 structural element if all its parts (including those connected to the building) are made from non-combustible materials. Sealant network and outer coating that are up to 0,3 mm in thickness (if any) can be ignored for this purpose

3 HUMAN SAFETY ASSURANCE 

3.1 General provisions 

3.1.1 The requirements in this section aim to ensure:  

- Timely and unobstructed evacuation of humans;  

- Rescue of people affected by fire hazards;  

- Protection for people escaping via means of egress from fire hazards.  

3.1.2 Evacuation means the organized and voluntary movement of people from rooms and areas where they are vulnerable to fire hazards to the outside. Evacuation can also mean involuntary movement of people with mobility impairment and is usually done by their caregivers. Evacuation is done along means of egress via exit accesses.  

3.1.3 Rescue refers to the compulsory relocation of people to the outside when they are vulnerable to fire hazards or when the risks of fire hazards are present. Rescue is done with the help of the fire brigade or professionally trained employees, includes the use of rescue equipment, and is made via exit accesses and fire exits.  

3.1.4 Human protection along means of egress must be ensured by a combination of premise - spatial solutions, convenience, structural, and organization solutions.  

All means of egress accessible from a room must ensure safe evacuation through exit accesses from that room without taking into account smoke protection and fire extinguishing equipment present in this room.  

Protection for means of egress beyond the room must be calculated in order to ensure safety for humans and must take into account fire risk categories by functions of other rooms located on the exit accesses, number of evacuating people, fire resistance categories and fire risk levels of structures of buildings, number of exit accesses on a storey and in the entire building.  

Fire risks of construction materials on the surface of the structures (finishing layers and tiles) in rooms and along means of egress must be limited depending on fire risk categories by functions of the buildings and rooms and other protective measures for exit accesses.  

3.1.5 When designing exit accesses from rooms and buildings, all rescue measures and equipment and exits that are not qualified for exit access requirements under 3.2.1 must not be taken into account.  

3.1.6 F5 rooms of class A or class B must not be positioned below rooms with occupant load of more than 50 people and must not be positioned in basements or semi-basements.  

F1.1, F1.2, and F1.3 must not be positioned in basements or semi-basements.  

3.1.7 In regard to buildings with 2 to 3 basements, smoking rooms, supermarkets, shopping malls, food and beverage vendors, and other public spaces can be positioned lower than the first basement only when additional fire safety measures according to applied standard documents are adopted and approved by competent authorities in accordance with 1.1.10.  

In regard to hospitals and high schools, rooms serving primary occupancies must be positioned in the semi-basement or the first basement (if there is no semi-basement) or higher. The first basement means the highest basement or the basement that is adjacent to the semi-basement.  

All basement floors must facilitate at least 1 entry to exit access stairwells which travels through smoke protected lobbies which are separated from surrounding spaces by type 2 fire-resistance-rated. All doors must be fitted with self-closing devices.  

3.1.8 In order to ensure safe evacuation, early fire detection and alarm are required.  

3.1.9 In order to protect people evacuating, smoke protection must be implemented to prevent smoke from infiltrating means of egress of buildings and building sections.  

Basic requirements for smoke protection systems of buildings are specified under Appendix D.  

3.1.10 All equipment of fire protection system in buildings must be prioritized for electricity supply from 2 independent sources (a grid-connected source and a backup generator). 

NOTE: Electrical appliances that have separate backup power sources (such as diesel backup pumps, safety cabinets with backup batteries) only requires the grid-connected source as long as the backup power source can function normally in case of fire.  

3.1.11 The effectiveness of human safety assurance measures in case of fire can be evaluated via calculation.  

3.2 Exit accesses and fire exits 

3.2.1 Exits are considered exit accesses if:  

a) They lead from rooms on the first storey to the outside:  

- Directly; or  

- Via corridors; or  

- Via lobbies (or waiting areas); or  

- Via staircases; or  

- Via corridors and lobbies (or waiting areas); or  

- Via corridors and staircases.  

b) They lead from rooms on any storey other than the first storey to:  

- Stairwell or type 3 staircases directly; or  

- Corridors that lead directly to stairwells or type 3 staircases; or  

- Common rooms (or waiting areas) with exits that lead directly to stairwells or type 3 staircases; or  

- Single-loaded corridors of buildings with less than 28 m of fire height that lead directly to type 2 staircases; or  

- Occupied roof or separate section of the roof which leads to type 3 staircases.  

c) They lead to adjacent rooms (other than F5 rooms of class A or class B) located on the same storey with exits as depicted under 3.2.1 a) and b). Exits leading to rooms of class A or class B can be considered exit accesses if they lead from mechanical rooms that are not regularly occupied but used solely to support the aforementioned rooms of class A and class B.  

d) They lead to exits meeting requirements under 3.2.2 and other exit accesses mentioned in this document.  

NOTE: If type 3 staircases are used for exit access, calculations pertaining to evacuation must be done accordance with Appendix G.  

3.2.2 Exits from basements and semi-basements are considered exit accesses if they lead directly outside and are separated from common stairwells of the buildings (see Figure I.1 of Appendix I).  

The following exits are also considered exit accesses:  

a) Exits from basements that go outside through common stairwells via separate walkways and are separated from the remaining section of the stairwells by type 1 solid fire-resistance-rated partitions (see Figure I.2 of Appendix I);  

b) Exits from basements and semi-basements where rooms of class C1 to class C4, class D, and class E are located which lead into rooms of class C1 to class C4, class D, and class E and into lobbies on the first storey of F5 buildings;  

c) Exits from waiting areas, locker rooms, smoking rooms, and toilets in basements or semi-basements of F2, F3, and F4 buildings that lead into lobbies on the first storey via separate type 2 staircases. If this is the case, the following requirements must be met:  

- Lobbies must be separated from corridors and adjacent rooms by fire-resistance-rated partitions of at least type 1;  

- Rooms on the first storey and storeys above must have means of egress that do not travel through these lobbies (except for rooms in the lobbies);  

- Finishing materials of waiting areas, locker rooms, smoking rooms, and toilets in basements or semi-basements must fulfill requirements applicable to common rooms according to Appendix B;  

Locker rooms must have enough exit accesses according to this Regulation excluding the exit accesses along type 2 staircases mentioned above.  

d) Hinged doors for railway and road transport vehicles.  

Vestibules can be positioned on exit discharges from buildings, basements, and semi-basements.  

3.2.3 Exits are not considered exit accesses if sliding doors, folding doors, roller shutters, or revolving doors are installed along the way.  

Hinged outswinging leaves fitted in the aforementioned doors can be considered exit accesses if their design meets regulations.  

3.2.4 Quantity and width of exit accesses from rooms, storeys, and buildings shall be determined by the largest number of people possibly evacuating through them and the maximum permissible distance from the furthest occupied areas (for domestic or work purposes) to the nearest exit accesses.  

NOTE 1: The largest number of people evacuating from different spaces of buildings or building sections shall conform to G.3 of Appendix G  

NOTE 2: In addition to general requirements stated hereunder, specific requirements pertaining to quantity and width of exit accesses are also stated under standard documents applicable to specific types of buildings. Appendix G prescribes specific regulations for common building types.  

Building sections with different occupancies and separated by fire protection assembly must have separate exit accesses, except specific cases specified in this document.  

Building sections with different occupancies and separated into fire compartments by fire protection assembly must have separate exit accesses from each storey. Up to 50% of total number of exit accesses can lead to adjacent fire compartments (except for exit accesses that lead to F5 fire compartments). F5 building sections must have separate exit accesses.  

3.2.5 The following rooms must have at least 2 exit accesses:  

a) F1.1 rooms with occupant load of more than 15 people;  

b) Rooms in basements and semi-basements with occupant load of more than 15 people; the case where rooms in basements and semi-basements have occupant load ranging from 6 to 15 people, one of the 2 exit accesses can be a fire exit according requirements of 3.2.13 d);  

c) Rooms with occupant load of at least 50 people;  

d) Rooms (other than F5 rooms) with occupant load of less than 50 people (including bleachers and opera boxes) where the maximum distance from occupied areas to exit accesses exceeds 25 m. If exit accesses leading to the rooms in question are connected from adjacent rooms with occupant load of more than 5 people, the maximum distance mentioned above must include the travel length for people from the adjacent rooms as well.  

e) Rooms and adjacent spaces whose exits only lead to the rooms in question with occupant load of at least 50 people;  

f) F5 rooms of class A or class B with more than 5 people working in a shift at its peak, or class C with more than 25 people working in a shift at its peak or when the rooms are larger than 1 000 m2  ;

g) Open working platforms and platforms for people operating and maintaining equipment in F5 rooms larger than 100 m2 in case of rooms of class A or class B - or larger than 400 m2 in case of rooms of other classes.  

If the rooms are required to have at least 2 exit accesses, 50% of the number of exit accesses can lead to an adjacent room as long as the adjacent room must also contain exit accesses compliant to this Regulation and standard documents applicable to that room.  

3.2.6 Number of exit accesses of storeys

- In regard to buildings with more than 3 storey or with fire height exceeding 9 m: equipped with type 2 fire-resistance-rated doors on exit accesses of each storey that lead into exit access stairwells.  

- In regard to buildings with 3 storeys or less or with fire height not exceeding 9 m: type 2 stairwells can substitute the aforementioned stairwells as long as building occupants can exit via open balconies or open rooftop in case of fire (except for mansions, villas, accommodations which are prescribed as below).  

NOTE: Open balcony or open rooftop means the balcony or rooftop is not enclosed and sheltering apparatus (if any) must facilitate evacuation and rescue for the fire brigade.  

In regard to mansions, villas, and accommodations not taller than 3 storeys and of category F1.2, stairwells mentioned above can be substituted by type 2 stairwells when all conditions below are met:  

- Each storey must not be larger than 200 m2, fire height must not exceed 9 m, and total number of occupants must not exceed 15 people;  

- Buildings have at least one exit access that leads directly outside or into type 3 staircases;  

- Occupants can exit outside via type 2 stairwells by ascending or descending no more 1 storey. If occupants are required to descend 2 storeys in order to exit outside, each sleeping unit must have a window located no higher than 1 m from floor level and an exit that leads directly into corridors or common rooms where doors leading to balconies are located. Windows and balconies mentioned above must not be more than 7 m above the ground. If these windows and balconies are more than 7 m to 9 m above the ground, each window and balcony must be fitted with emergency escape equipment which facilitates human evacuation at height (for example: metal ladder, rope ladder);  

b) From mechanical floors or storage of mechanical equipment which are not larger than 300 m2. If a storey contains a mechanical area as mentioned above, every 2 000 m2 remaining must have at least 1 more exit access (if the remaining area is less than 2 000 m2, at least 1 emergency area is required). If mechanical floor or mechanical areas are located in the basements, their exits must be separate from other exits and lead directly outside. If mechanical floors or mechanical areas are located on above-ground storeys, exits can go through common stairwells or N1 stairwells if the buildings contain N1 stairwells;  

c) From storeys of F1.3 buildings where total flat area (or total floor area in single-stair buildings) ranges from exceeding 500 m2 to 550 m2 and:  

- When elevation of the topmost storey does not exceed 28 m - exit accesses from that storey can lead into common stairwells as long as addressable fire alarm is equipped;  

- When elevation of the topmost storey exceeds 28 m - exit accesses from that storey can lead to N1 smokeproof stairwells as long as all rooms in flats (other than lavatories, bathrooms, and auxiliary sections) must be equipped with addressable fire alarm or automatic fire extinguishing system.  

In regard to F1.3 buildings with fire height ranging from exceed 28 m to 50 m and total flat area on each storey reaches 500 m2, N1 stairwells can be substituted with type 2 stairwells, when the conditions below are met: 1) Entrances from all storeys that lead into stairwells, including openings between stairwells and lobbies must be fitted with fire protection vestibules which is maintained at positive pressure in case of fire; 2) at least one elevator of the building is reserved for use by the fire brigade; 3) All rooms in the flats (other than lavatories, bathrooms, auxiliary sections) must be equipped with addressable fire alarm or automatic fire extinguishing system; 4)The buildings are equipped with fire siren (can be installed in common corridors).

- The storeys in question have single-loaded corridors that lead into type 2 open staircases or stairwells and are led to from F4.1 rooms.  

3.2.7 Number of exit accesses from a storey must not be less than 2 if this storey contains a room that requires at least 2 exit accesses.  

Number of exit accesses from a building must not be lower than the number of exit accesses of any storey in the same building.  

3.2.8 If at least 2 exit accesses are required, they must be distributed away from one another and the calculation of evacuation potential of these exit accesses must assume that the fire has denied access to one of the other exit accesses. The remaining exit accesses must be able to ensure safe evacuation for all occupants in the rooms, on the storeys, or in the buildings (see Figure I.3).  

When a room, a building section, or a storey requires at least 2 exit accesses, at least 2 of these exits must be distributed away from one another. The distance between any 2 exit accesses must be equal to or greater than half of the greatest diagonal of the room, building section, or storey. This distance shall be measured by a straight line connecting their closest sides (see Figures I.4 a), b), and c)).  

If the entire building is protected by automatic sprinkler system, this distance can be reduced down to 1/3 of the greatest diagonal of the rooms above (see Figure I.4 d)).  

If 2 exit stairwells are connected via a corridor, the distance between 2 exit accesses (doors leading to the exit stairwell) shall be measured along the corridor (see Figure I.5). This corridor must be protected in accordance with 3.3.5.  

3.2.9 Clearance height of exit access must not be lower than 1,9 m while clear width must not be lower than:  

- 1,2 m - from F1.1 rooms if the number of evacuation people exceeds 15, rooms and buildings of other fire risk categories by occupancies if the number of evacuating people exceeds 50, other than F1.3 category;  

- 0,8 m - in all other cases.  

Width of doors leading outside from stairwells and doors leading into lobbies from stairwells must not be lower than calculated value or stringer width specified under 3.4.1.  

In all cases, when determining width of an exit access, the geometry of the means of egress must be taken into account so as to not obstruct stretchers carrying patients.  

If double doors are used on exit accesses, width of exit accesses shall equal width of the open leaf and shall not include width of the closed leaf or fixed leaf. Double doors must be fitted with self-closing devices so that each leaf closes in sequence.  

In buildings with fire height more than 28 m (other than F1.3 and F1.4 buildings), exit access doorways from common corridors of each storey, common lobbies, waiting areas, foyers, stairwells (other than exit access doorways leading directly outside) must be fire-resistance-rated doors with fire-resistance ratings of EI 30 or higher.  

3.2.10 Doors of exit accesses and other doors on means of egress must be outswinging doors. 

The direction in which the doors swing is not required in case of:

- Rooms with occupant load not exceeding 15 people, other than rooms of class A or class B;  

- Warehouse no larger than 200 m2 and not regularly occupied by employees;  

- Restrooms;  

- Entrances leading to landings of type 3 staircases.  

3.2.11 Doors of exit accesses from corridors, common spaces, waiting areas, lobbies, and stairwells must be opened from the inside without keys. In buildings with fire height exceeding 15 m, the doors mentioned above, other than doors of flats, must be solid doors or fitted with tempered glass.  

Doors of exit accesses from areas (either rooms or corridors) that are protected by mechanical smoke protection system must be solid doors fitted with self-closing devices and their clearance must be tightly sealed. If these doors need to be left open during use, they must be fitted with self-closing devices that close the doors automatically in case of fire.  

Doors on stairwells must be fitted with self-closing devices and have their clearance tightly sealed. Doors of stairwells that open directly outside are not required to be fitted with self-closing devices or have their clearance tightly sealed. Except for specific cases, doors of stairwells in buildings with fire resistance category I or II must be type 1 fire-resistance-rated doors; doors of stairwells in buildings with fire resistance category III or IV must be type 2 fire-resistance-rated doors; doors of stairwells in buildings with fire resistance category V must be type 3 fire-resistance-rated doors.  

Other than specific regulations, doors of exit accesses leading from corridors to stairwells used by at least 4 storeys (except for buildings for incarceration or correctional purposes) must ensure the followings:  

a) All electronic locks installed on doors must automatically open on activation of the building’s automatic fire alarm system. As soon as electricity is cut, these electronic locks must open;  

b) Occupants using stairwells can always come back inside via the doors they just go through or where reentry to the buildings is permitted;  

c) Reentry points must be designed following the principle where doors are only allowed to deny reentry if all conditions below are met:  

- There are at least 2 storeys where occupants can exit the stairwells to reach other exit accesses (i.e. reentry must be allowed on at least 2 storeys);  

- There are no more than 4 storeys between storeys where occupants can exit the stairwells to reach other exit accesses;  

- Reentry must be allowed on the topmost storey or the storey immediately below the topmost storey which is served by exit access stairwells if this storey allows access to another exit access;  

- Doors that allow reentry must be marked on the stair side by signage that reads “CỬA CÓ THỂ DI VÀO TRONG NHÀ” (REENTRY ON THIS FLOOR) with minimum letter height of 50 mm and is placed at a height between 1,2 m and 1,8 m;  

- Doors that do not allow reentry must be marked on the stair side by signage which directs occupants to the nearest points of reentry or the nearest exit accesses in both directions.  

NOTE: Doors that do not allow reentry must be marked on the corridor side (the other side of the stair side) by signage that warns occupants that they cannot return through those doors.  

3.2.12 Exits that do not qualify as exit accesses can be considered fire exits in order to increase safety for humans in case of fire. All fire exits, including those under 3.2.13, must not be included when calculating fire evacuation.  

3.2.13 In addition to cases mentioned under 3.2.12, fire exits also include:  

a) Exit to balcony or loggia where a solid wall with minimum clear width of 1,2 m from the edge of the balcony (or loggia) to the window (or door fitted with glass) or 1,6 m between glass doors that open to the balcony (or loggia) is located. Balconies or loggias must have minimum width of 0,6 m, receive natural ventilation, and be separated from adjacent rooms by partitions which stretch from floor to ceiling and contain openings. The solid walls mentioned above can be replaced by glass walls with minimum fire-resistance rating of EI 30 or EI 15 depending on fire-resistance rating of exterior wall.

Descending height of smoke partitions must not be lower than the thickness of the smoke in case of fire. Thickness of the smoke shall be determined via calculations during design. In this case, the base of the smoke layer must not be lower than 2,5 m above the floor surface;  

d) Storey area within a fire compartment where an atrium is located shall be determined by the sum of area of the bottommost storey of the atrium and area of single-loaded corridors, walkways, and rooms on upper storeys, within the volume of the atrium, and confined by type 1 fire-resistance-rated partitions. If type 1 fire-resistance-rated partitions are not available and/or the atrium is not physically separated from adjoining rooms, fire compartment shall equal total area of relevant storeys;  

e) Natural smoke extraction system is allowed in atriums if appropriate evaluation and calculation are present;  

f) Light-transmitting panels of atriums must be made from non-combustible materials. In this case, these panel structures must be made from safety wired glass (to prevent injury). Materials which have combustibility not higher than Ch1 and do not create flaming droplets are allowed for the purpose of light-transmitting panels;  

g) For the purpose of firefighting in atriums, installation of sprinklers is allowed below protruding structures of floors between storeys, balconies (including below escalators, etc.) instead of below the ceilings of atriums. Sprinklers must be 1,5 m to 2,0 m away from one another and no more than 0,5 m away from edges of openings on the floor.  

5 WATER SUPPLY FOR FIREFIGHTING 

5.1 Water supply for outdoor firefighting 

5.1.1 Fire safety requirements pertaining to water supply for outdoor firefighting  

5.1.1.1 The installation of water supply for outdoor firefighting shall conform to TCVN 3890 and other superseding standard documents.  


5.1.1.2 消防供水源的水质必须适合消防设备和消防方法的运行条件。


5.1.1.3 消防用水管网通常为低压管网。如果管网中持续高压,则必须进行计算以确保管网的工作压力。在高压管网的情况下,必须配备消防泵,以便在火灾警报启动后 5 分钟内运行。


5.1.1.4 低压消防用水管网(位于地面以上)的最小压力不得低于 10 m。高压消防用水管网的最低压力必须足以保证当火流量最大且喷嘴位于建筑物的最高点时,最低固体水流高度为 10 m。额外用于家庭或制造用途的管网中的压力不得低于 10 m 且不大于 60 m。


5.1.2 关于室外消防消防流量的消防安全要求


5.1.2.1 用于户外消防的环管网的火流量(针对一次火灾事故)和住宅区同时发生的火灾事故数量应符合附表 7 的规定。


5.1.2.2 针对组合管道、管网分配管道和小型社区(一个小村庄、一系列建筑物和类似建筑)的 F1、F2、F3、F4 火灾风险类别的建筑物中用于室外消防(针对一次火灾事故)的消防流量应使用附表 8 中的最大值。


5.1.2.3 对于一次火灾事故的 F5 火灾风险类别的建筑物进行室外消防的消防流量,应使用附表 9 和附表 10 中要求最大值的建筑物的流量。


注 1:在计算 2 个火灾事件的火流时,使用的值等于需要最大流速的建筑物值的两倍。


注 2:独立辅助建筑物中用于户外消防的消防流量应使用附表 8 中适用于 F2、F3、F4 火灾风险类别的建筑物的值;如果辅助建筑物位于制造设施内,则根据制造设施的一般体积和附表 9 计算消防流量。


注 3:用于农业和农村发展的建筑物的室外消防消防流量,耐火等级为 I 和 II,最大容积为 5 000 m 3,D 和 E 火灾和爆炸危险等级,应等于 5 L/s。


注 4:无线电台和电视台室外消防的火流量,无论电台的体积和电台附近的居民人数如何,都不得低于 15 升/秒,即使附表 9 和附表 10 规定了较低的值。


注 5:体积超过附表 9 和附表 10 规定的体积的建筑物室外消防的消防流量必须符合特别规定。


注 6:对于耐火等级为 II 的建筑物和木结构,室外消防的火流量应大于附表 9 和附表 10 中的值 5 L/s。


注 7:建筑物户外灭火及食物冷藏的火流应与火警风险等级 C 的建筑物相若。


注解 8:满载集装箱堆存室外消防的消防流量取决于集装箱的数量,具体如下:


从 30 到 50 个容器,15 升/秒;


从 51 到 100 个容器,20 升/秒;


从 101 到 300 个容器,25 升/秒;
