| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Installation of sprinklers in rooms or closets in
the storey immediately below a roof assembly [whose
fire-resistance rating has been waived in Subsection 3.2.2.,
on the basis of the beneficial effect of a sprinkler system].
This applies to buildings described
in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A in which automatic sprinkler systems
are installed.
Application 2: This also applies to buildings to
which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9] in which automatic sprinkler systems are installed, as stated in Sentence 9.10.1.2.(8).
Exceptions:
except for sprinkler systems installed to meet the requirements
of NFPA 13D, in buildings described in Sentence 3.2.5.13.(3).
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 3.2.5.13.(3), which applies to
sprinkler systems installed throughout to meet NFPA 13D in buildings of residential occupancy that contain not more than 2 dwelling units.

| Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirements of the standards referenced
in Sentences 3.2.5.13.(1) and (2), which would otherwise not require sprinklers in certain rooms
or closets. This is to limit the probability that a fire
starting in such rooms or closets will not be suppressed or controlled, which
could lead to the spread of fire to the roof assembly and other parts of the
building, which could lead to harm to persons.
