For storage of hazardous materials (flammable liquids) special protection measures and regulations are to be adhered to.
PRIORIT storage areas for flammable liquids may be installed in existing rooms in compliance with statutory requirements.
Storage rooms
Storage areas are fully enclosed spaces above or below ground level that may be built with windows and doors for ventilation and driving and may be used to store flammable liquids. Storage rooms may also be portable such as safety containers.

Walls, ceilings and doors of inside storage rooms must be constructed of non-combustible materials with a minimum fire resistance of 30 minutes, EI 30.
