I have a light hazard building with Dry wall, 12" bar joists, with 6" of batt insulation on the dry wall and then a wood floor for above. So 6" of dead space above the insulation to the underside of the floor. Would this be considered Combustible Concealed space?
Thanks

Without seeing it or a cross section

I would say yes combustible concealed space, sprinklers required

Because space is not less than six inches

Add another inch of insulation or something.
