I have a 1280 sq. ft Type IIIB building H-3 class. We are under 2006 I-codes with 2005 NEC adopted. Inside the building they are storing 466 gal paint totes and hyd. fulid (55 gal drums). The amount stored puts them over the MAQ thus driving the H-3 class. Also stored in this building are 55 gal drums full of used paint filters under water and sealed. The electrical contractor is resisting me on the call of Class I , Division 2 electrical fixtures and fans. The building is a stand alone about 50 feet from the F-2 and will be a "Let it Burn" attack as no sprinkler system is being installed. Smoke and heat detectors are being installed. I just need to know if I am on the right track with the hazard classification call of class I Division 2. No processing or transfer is done in the building only storage.
