A control area is an area that is fire separated from adjacent areas. A laboratory is typically a control area. The higher up you are in a building the less control areas are allowed. I will sent the exact definition once I get to my office
Hello Everyone,--- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional membership chair at membership**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Follow us on Twitter **At_Symbol_Here**acsdchasI am reaching out as I need to know the practical definition of a "control area". The NFPA definition is vague and has been interpreted by someone as the whole floor of our building. I find this hard to believe when it is often being used as "laboratory suite or control area" in the standards.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,--_________________________________________________________
