Intent | Intent 1: To exempt small-sized sprinkler systems from the requirements
of Sentence 3.2.5.13.(1) and permit the water supply to the sprinkler
system to be supplied from the domestic water system, if the domestic supply
will provide the required flow for the sprinklers. This is to limit the probability
that the sprinkler system will not have an adequate water supply in a fire
situation, which could lead to a fire not being suppressed or controlled,
which could lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which
could lead to harm to persons. |
