HAR §12-45.4-35. Storage of combustible materials

Section 10.18.1.1 is added to read as follows: 10.18.1.1 Signage posting. In storage and mercantile occupancies, a sign shall be posted on the automatic sprinkler riser stating the maximum allowable storage height for the design of the sprinkler system as approved by the AHJ. [Eff ] (Auth: HRS §132-3) (Imp: HRS §132-3) This was in previous state fire codes & adds an additional requirement. It addresses the allowable storage height in these occupancies based on the original design of the sprinklers system. Businesses lease spaces in warehouses with high ceilings and bring in high-piled storage racks, which the original sprinkler system was not designed to control. This amendment assists the fire inspector with identifying these cases. Lloyd relocated this amendment into the general category instead of being in the ceiling clearance section.)
