Brian,
Please remember that when you're looking for the required protection
method for storage, before you begin selecting any protection method,
you must first identify these five things, at least.
* Commodity class
* Storage method (rack, shelf, etc)
* Packaging (cartoned, exposed)
* Intended storage height
* Ceiling height above the storage
Once those are established, then you can develop a protection strategy.
And, where 12.6.3 comes into play is if a required criteria for one
commodity/method/packaging/height/ceiling height are adjacent to an area
with a different set of criteria, then the separation or extension of
the design for the more demanding (Say Class IV, Racks, 20' high,
cartoned, 25' ceiling) must extend at least 15' into the lower demanding
(e.g Class II, Floor, 20' high, cartoned, 25' ceiling).
Now if the separation does meet the criteria of 12.3 (1)-(2)-(3) then
extending the protection is not required. Remember that such a
requirement does not impact the size/selection of the remote area,
merely the spacing and density required. Yes, it may impact the most
remote area selection, however it makes no requirement for the size to
be adjusted.
