However, where the exterior wall poses a risk of spreading fire, the access opening shall be equipped with a normally-closed fire door with a fireproof effect of more than one hour.14.When the windows and access openings in the preceding paragraph are equipped with glass, the glass shall be inlaid with wire mesh or materials of equivalent or better protective properties.15.Where liquid items of the 6 classes are stored, the floor shall be of impermeable structure, with appropriate inclination and liquid collection facilities.16.The access opening of the exclusive storage tank room shall be set up with a threshold of more than 20 centimeters, or with a measure, of equivalent or better effectiveness, for outflow prevention.17.The exclusive storage tank room shall have adequate daylighting, lighting and ventilation equipment. Where a risk of accumulating flammable vapor is posed when the stored content is any substance in the 6 classes with flash point under 70 degrees Celsius, equipment shall be installed to effectively discharge the vapor to a height above the eaves or outdoors at a height of more than four (4) meters from the ground.For a building used as a manufacturing site or general processing site for substances of 6 classes, when the aforementioned building is set up to store Class 4 public hazardous substances with a flash point above 40 degrees Celsius, the location, structure and equipment shall comply with the provisions of preceding Subparagraphs 1 to 10, 12, and 14 to 17, as well as the following requirements:1.The walls, columns, and floors of the exclusive storage tank room shall be of fireproof structure with a fireproof effect of more than two hours. Beams shall be constructed of non-combustible materials. Where the exterior wall poses a risk of spreading fire or contains zoning partition walls, no openings shall be constructed on the exterior wall except for access opening.2.The windows of the exclusive storage tank room shall be equipped with fire windows with a fireproof effect of more than two hours; and the access opening shall be equipped with a normally-closed fire door with a fireproof effect of more than two hours.
