Thank you, Eugene.  I am applying the 2 hour fire rating to define my areas instead of assuming a control area being assigned by the exterior walls.  This helps me a lot.

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,

 

I 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,
