Intent | Intent 1: To override the 800 mm value for the minimum
width of a door leaf stated in Sentence 3.3.1.13.(1) so as to limit the
probability that doors in corridors will be of insufficient width to permit

which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that door openings will be of insufficient
size to permit the efficient evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place
in an emergency situation, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or
movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 3: To limit the probability that door openings will be of insufficient
size in an emergency situation, which could lead to delays or inefficiencies
in emergency response operations, which could lead to delays in the evacuation
or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
