Demystify: 

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,
