A "B1 clean industry" in Singapore refers to light industrial activities that are considered clean and produce no noise or pollution, typically including: software development, data processing, warehousing, call centers, industrial training, product design and development, and certain biotechnology applications; essentially any industry that can operate near residential areas with minimal environmental impact.
Key points about B1 industries:
Minimal nuisance:
Due to their clean nature, B1 industries usually require a smaller buffer zone compared to heavier industries (B2) when located near residential areas.
Suitable for office-like environments:
Some B1 industries may have a more office-like setting, like software development or data processing.
Examples of B1 clean industries:
Data centers: Storage and processing of large amounts of data
Call centers: Customer service operations
Research and development (R&D): Laboratories focused on clean technology development.
