Yes. Working in a firm that actually engineers fire protection systems,
the building code has specific requirements on various materials, from
plastic to chemicals to oil, and everything in between. We work
primarily on laboratories (AEI is doing the NIH building, for starters),
and our office here in Ann Arbor is working on a Department of
Agriculture lab in Lansing, Michigan, that has three or four various
kinds of suppression systems alone. They test food, pesticides, etc.
