"Item 15" in Appended Table 1 of the Order for Enforcement of the Fire Service Act is classified as "Offices, banks, and other similar facilities (workplaces not falling under any of the preceding items)."
Unlike "specified fire prevention properties (facilities accessed by a large number of unspecified people)" such as restaurants (Item 3), hotels (Item 5), and stores (Item 4), it is classified as a "non-specified fire prevention property" primarily staffed by specific employees, so the installation standards for fire equipment are set relatively leniently.
The obligation to install major fire protection equipment arises depending on the building's "total area" and "number of stories."
