For industrial, chemical, petrochemical plants NFPA is usually the minimum, with recommended good practice also being the relevant FM or GAP / AXA guidelines, e.g. FM DS 7-14 Fire Protection for Chemical Plants, FM DS 3-10 Private Fire Service Mains, GAP.17.2.1 High Hazard Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, GAP 17.3.1 Refineries and Large Gasoline Plants, and GAP 14 Private Fire Mains, among others....
