Fire-resistance rating of floors of exterior passageways serving buildings of Group D, E or F major occupancy that are not more than 2 storeys in building height.

Intent
Intent 1: 
To exempt exterior passageways serving certain buildings from the requirements of Sentence 9.10.8.8.(1), which would otherwise require the passageway floors to have a minimum fire-resistance rating, on the basis that the buildings are limited in height, travel distances from the space are short, the occupants are not expected to be sleeping, and evacuation is expected to be relatively quick.
