| Application | Application 1: Minimum fire-resistance rating of fire separations separating service
rooms that contain electrical equipment that is required to be located
in a service room by CSA C22.1, “Canadian

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that fire will spread from a service
room containing electrical equipment that is required to be located in a service
room by CSA C22.1, “Canadian Electrical Code, Part I,” to
other parts of the building, which could lead to harm to persons in the other
parts of the building. Intent 2: To limit the probability that a fire originating in a location
outside a service room will spread into the service room, which could lead
to the disruption and discontinuation of service from equipment located in
the service room, which could lead to an undue fire hazard in the building,
which could lead to harm to persons. |
