3 Classification of fire hazards, fire resistance class and fire compartment
3.0.1 The design of the nonferrous metals engineering shall be combined with the characteristics and quantity of fire hazards arising from actual use, storage or production of media, as well as environmental conditions and other factors to determine the classification of fire hazards arising from production (storage) of media in their plant buildings (warehouses) or areas (locations), and shall meet the relevant requirements of the current national standard GB 50016 Code for design on building fire protection and prevention.

The combustibility and fire resistance rating of the their members shall be in accordance with the current national standard GB 50016 Code for design on building fire protection and prevention.
3.0.3 The main load-bearing members of Categories D and E fire-resistant plant buildings (warehouses) may be of metal structure without fire protection. For the metal load-bearing members that may be directly affected by the flame of Categories A, B and C liquids or combustible gases, and may be radiated by heat, with the surface temperature greater than 200° C, fire protection and heat insulation measures shall be taken or the fire resistance of the structure shall be checked.

3.0.7 The maximum allowable building area of individual fire compartments in plant buildings (warehouses) shall meet relevant requirements of the current national standard GB 50016 Code for design on building fire protection and prevention. However, for Categories D and E nonferrous metal high-rise plant buildings with Classes I and II fire resistance for complete sets of devices such as smelting, roasting and heat recovery boilers, when there are specific requirements for the production process and the plant buildings cannot be subjected to fire separation, the maximum allowable building area of each fire compartment of the plant buildings may be increased by 1.0 times according to the relevant requirements of the current national standard GB 50016 Code for design on building fire protection and prevention.
3.0.8 The maximum allowable building area of each fire compartment of underground electrical room, hydraulic station and lubricating oil station shall not be greater than 500 m2. The maximum allowable building area of each fire compartment of cable interlayer shall meet the following requirements:
1 The above-ground area shall not be greater than 1200 m2;
2 The underground area shall not be greater than 300 m2;
