Hello - I'm working on a project that requires the use of RF shielding fabric to protect a new lab (about 20,000 SF). The new lab is being built in an existing hi-bay area. A steel mezzanine structure was built inside the hi-bay... the fabric will be hung from the steel and draped over the top. The fabric is not exposed to the lab/ office spaces below since it is sandwiched between the walls. The fabric IS exposed above the structure (unoccupied space above structure and below existing hi-bay roof). The fabric does not meet the testing requirements for interior finishes.
My question is: Does the fabric need to be separated from the lab/office space by fire or smoke barriers? I've attached a simple section.
Thanks!
