Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that vapours will migrate into
other areas of a building, which could lead to the accumulation of the vapours
in sufficient quantity to form an ignitable mixture, which could lead to the
ignition of the vapours from a nearby ignition source, which could lead to
harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that vapours will accumulate in
sufficient quantity to form an ignitable mixture, which could lead to the
ignition of the vapours from a nearby ignition source, which could lead to
harm to persons. Intent 3: To exempt canopies that are open on not less than 75% of
their perimeter from the requirements of Sentence 3.3.5.8.(2) and permit
fuel-dispensing operations inside a building, on the basis that the building
design provides direct ventilation to the outdoors, thus limiting the probability
that vapours will accumulate to ignitable concentrations or migrate to other
parts of the building. |
