| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Treatment of concrete in foundations which
may be subject to chemical attack. This applies to buildings described
in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and buildings to
which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A] that are
required to be designed to the requirements of Part 4. |

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that concrete in foundations subject
to chemical attack [e.g. sulphate attack, freeze-thaw action] will not be
treated against chemical attack, which could lead to premature deterioration,
which could lead to excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, the
concrete, which could lead to damage to the building. |
