According to the as-built drawings, the flange of the column of the attached photos is 300mm wide, and 12mm thick. As showed in the photos, the flange of the column is 310mm wide and 45mm thick, including the thickness of the fire-retardant coatings. So it can be reckoned that the thickness of fire-retardant coatings at the flange end are 5mm, and those ones at the side face are 16mm. The thickness of fire-retardant coatings of the flange are different. Therefore the fire resistant material may be thinner than is required. According to the as built drawings, the fire resistance rating of column in warehouse is 2 hours. Refer to the code for fire protection design of buildings (GB 50016-2014), page 426, the thickness of fire-retardant coatings is 30mm.
