7.1.3 Fire lanes should be set in the factory and warehouse area.

High-rise factory buildings, class a, class B and class c factories with an area of more than 3000 m2 and class B and class c warehouses with an area of more than 1500 m2, should be set up with circular fire truck lanes. When there are indeed difficulties, fire lanes should be set along the two long sides of the building.

"Ring fire lane should be set" changed to "fire lane should be set along at least two long sides of the building" 3.4.5 fire lane or the road which is also used as fire lane should comply with the following provisions:

The new standard does not state that buildings larger than 50m must be continuously arranged with fire truck climbing operation site, nor does it state the minimum length requirement of fire truck climbing operation site.

4.1.4 when the equipment houses built independently such as fuel oil or gas boiler, fuel oil oil-immersed transformers, fuel-filled high-voltage capacitor and multi-oil switch, diesel generator shelter are adjacent to civil buildings, they should be separated by firewalls, and should not be attached to crowded places in adjacent buildings.

When it is really necessary to be arranged in civil buildings, it should not be arranged on the upper floor, the lower floor or adjacent floor in crowded places.

It should not be arranged on the upper layer, the lower layer or adjacent in crowded places, but should be changed to: when taking measures to prevent the explosion of equipment rooms from endangering the upper layer, the lower layer or adjacent places, it can be adjacent

3.3.8 change and a power distribution statio should not be set in class a and class B workshops or adjacent, and should not be set in dangerous areas of explosive gas and dust environment. For class a and class B factory dedicated 10kV and below variable, a power distribution statio, when the firewall without doors, windows, and openings are separated, it can be adjacent to one face mask, and should comply with the provisions of the current national standard "code for design of electrical installations in explosive hazardous environment" GB 50058 and other standards

The the power distributing station adjacent fire separation for the class a and class B workshops requires that the anti-explosion wall option is added in addition to the firewall.
