Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of direct exposure of the elevator
door interlock mechanism to fire, which could lead to the failure of the interlock
mechanism and the opening or partial opening of the elevator doors during
the time required for emergency responders to perform their duties, which
could lead to the failure of the elevator operating mechanism, which could
lead to the elevators not operating as intended, which could lead to delays
or inefficiencies in fire emergency response operations, which could lead
to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could lead to
damage to the building. |
