| Application | Application 1: Design and installation of fire alarm systems, where
a building contains more than one major
occupancy and a fire alarm system is required. This
applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A in which fire alarm systems are installed.
Application 2: This also applies to buildings to
which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9] in which fire alarm systems are installed, as stated in Sentence 9.10.18.6.(1).
Exceptions:
except as exempted in Sentence 3.2.4.2.(4), which applies
to a building not more than 3 storeys in building height, in which a vertical fire
separation having a fire-resistance rating of
not less than 1 h separates portions of the building from
the remainder of the building as if it were a separate building.

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that different fire alarm systems
will be used within a building, which could lead to confusion about the appropriate
course of action to be taken in a fire emergency, which could lead to delays
in evacuation or moving to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
