Intent
Intent 1: 
To exempt buildings from the requirements of Sentence 9.10.18.3.(2), which would otherwise require heat or smoke detectors in certain spaces, if certain conditions are met [i.e. the building is sprinklered and the sprinkler system is electrically supervised and equipped with a water flow alarm].
This is to limit the probability that a fire will not be:
  • controlled or suppressed, which could lead to the growth and spread of fire, and
  • detected, which could lead to persons not being promptly notified of a fire situation.
This is to limit the probability of delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
