Metal parts in plastic bin boxes
Metal parts in plastic bin boxes
(OP)
Do I treat this as plastics storage?
Looks like the bins will be stored to a max of 12' with 14' ish clearance to the deck.
Feels like the bin boxes themselves are the hazard and not the product.
Surely NFPA has addressed the plastic bin boxes being dictated by the auto makers.

Yes but "High Hazard Commodity" doesn't mean anything. The IFC might as well have used the phrase "extra super gooder". It's doesn't point towards any particular criteria from NFPA. Well, not that I'm aware of at least.
I think exposed, non-expanded, unstable, group A plastics to 12' with up to 32' ceiling height is the minimum that I'll be able to sleep with at night. So NFPA13 2007, Table 15.2.5(a) Col A.
Translates to a .40 density.
