| Application | Application 1: Maximum surface flame-spread

| Intent | Intent 1: To exempt the interior finish of walls and ceilings in bathrooms
from the requirements of Sentence 9.10.17.1.(1), which would otherwise
limit surface flame-spread rating to 150, and permit a higher maximum flame-spread
rating, on the basis that the incidence rate of fires in bathrooms is much
lower than in most other parts of a residential suite, bathrooms are usually
very small and generally have little effect on the rate of the spread of fire
within a suite, and the higher rating will not contribute significantly to
the spread of flame. |
