Application
Application 1: 
Fans in individual fire compartments referred to in Sentence 9.10.9.18.(1) that exhaust directly into ducts in vertical service spaces.
This applies to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9].

Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that pressure from such fans will overload the exhaust fan required at or near the exhaust outlet, which could lead to the build-up of a positive pressure in the shared exhaust duct, which could lead to smoke from a fire in one compartment being spread to another compartment, which could lead to harm to persons in the other compartment.
