Application | Application 1: Location of hose cabinets [for 38 mm diam
hose], with respect to obstruction of the required width of a means
of egress, in buildings and floor
areas that are not sprinklered throughout.
This applies to buildings described
in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A in which standpipe 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], as stated in Sentence 9.10.1.2.(8). |

Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirements of the standard referenced
in Sentence 3.2.5.9.(1) and require that when hose cabinet doors are
opened they do not obstruct the required width of a means of egress. This
is to limit the probability of delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place
in a fire situation, which could lead to harm to persons. |
