Definition of hazards
Occupancy classifications for this standard shall relate to sprinkler design, installation, and water supply
requirements only.
(nfpa 13, 5.1.1,page 27)

Light Hazard Occupancies.

Light hazard occupancies shall be defined as occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the
quantity and/or combustibility of contents is low and fires with relatively low rates of heat release are
expected.
(nfpa 13, 5.2,page 27)

Ordinary hazard (Group 1)

Occupancies shall be defined as occupancies or portions of other occupancies where combustibility is low,
quantity of combustibles is moderate, stockpiles of combustibles do not exceed 8 ft (2.4 m), and fires with
moderate rates of heat release are expected.
(nfpa 13, 5.3.1.1,page 27)

Ordinary hazard (Group 2)

Occupancies shall be defined as occupancies or portions of other occupancies where the quantity and
combustibility of contents are moderate to high, where stockpiles of contents with moderate rates of heat
release do not exceed 12 ft (3.66 m) and stockpiles of contents with high rates of heat release do not exceed
8 ft (2.4 m).
(nfpa 13, 5.3.2.1,page 28)

Extra Hazard (Group 1).

Extra hazard (Group 1) occupancies shall be defined as occupancies or portions of other occupancies
where the quantity and combustibility of contents are very high and dust, lint, or other materials are
present, introducing the probability of rapidly developing fires with high rates of heat release but with
little or no combustible or flammable liquids.
(nfpa 13, 5.4.1*,page 28)

Extra Hazard (Group 2).

Extra hazard (Group 2) occupancies shall be defined as occupancies or portions of other occupancies
with moderate to substantial amounts of flammable or combustible liquids or occupancies where
shielding of combustibles is extensive.
(nfpa 13, 5.4.2*,page 28)
