If mixed storage of products within the same or other storage classes is permitted, this is only if certain conditions are met (use of the same fire extinguishing agent or identical temperature conditions). 

Separate storage means storage in different storage areas. A storage area may be part of a warehouse separated from other rooms by at least fire-resistant walls and ceilings (at least type F 90) or in the open air separated by appropriate distances or fire-resistant walls. Separate storage may be necessary to reduce risks which can arise as a result of risk-increasing contact between products of different

Normally different products of the same storage class may be stored in the same storage area. Exceptions exist for specific products (for details see Ref. [6-114]).
