The area requires to be protected against fire by a detection and suppression system
for
Class 2 which maintains the function of that area during a fire in that area
fire detection
or one in a Class 1 area
and
reaction to fire
The area requires to be protected against fire by a detection and suppression system
Class 3 which maintains the function of that area during a fire in that area
or one in a Class 1 or Class 2 area

The area requires to be protected against fire by a detection and suppression system
Class 4 which enables critical data centre function to be secured during a
fire in that area or one elsewhere in the data centre
