Group H occupan- cies containing quantities of hazardous materials in excess of those set forth in Table 2703.8.2 shall be in detached buildings. ❖The definition of a "Detached storage building" is found in Section 2702 and in Section 307.2 in the IBC. As defined, a detached storage building is a separate, single -story building, without a basement or crawl space that is used forthe storage of hazardous materi- als and located an approved distance from all other structures. The manufacture and storage of hazardous matE als are frequently integrated into a single buildir Additionally, it is not unusual for certain manufacturi buildings to contain multiple Group H uses Where': threshold quantities are exceeded. Limiting Char us of identified hazardous materials to separate buildirj containing only Group H uses maintains the intent the code, which is to isolate large quantities of cerk, physical hazardous materials from uses other th those in Group H. `t't�B]L� 2703.$.2.

These quantities could be contained in each affourdifferent control areas (each chemical in a different control area) if they are separated from each by a minimum 1 -hour fire - resistance -rated wall as- sembly. The amount of hazardous materials per control area and the number of control areas per floor are reduced if hazardous materials are stored or used above the first floor because there is a relatively greater difficulty in gaining. access for fire fighting ar other emergency response purposes and a relatively greater potential hazard to building occupants who must ,egress that area. The use of control areas on upper floors can be advantageous for multistory research and labora- fory�type facilities that often have a functional need to use limited amounts of hazardous materials through- out various por#ions of the building. Without control ar- eas, the MAQ for a hazardous material would be lim- ited to an entire building area regardless of the overall size or height of the building. �'or example, if control ar- eas are not used, a 50,000- square -foot (4645 m2) mul- tistory building would be limited to the same MAQ of hazardous materials as a single -story building of 5,000 square feet 0165 m�). 2703.8.4 has rooms.
