Intent
Intent 1: 
To exempt the separations of laundry rooms from the application of Sentence 3.3.1.22.(1) by waiving the requirement for a fire-resistance rating on the basis that the floor area is sprinklered throughout.
This is to limit the probability that a fire will not be controlled or suppressed, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
