9.24.1.2.(1) | Application | Intent |
| OP2 | OS2 | OH1 | OS1 | OS3 |
| Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Steel studs and runners used in non-loadbearing exterior
and interior walls of buildings to which Part 9
applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part
9]. |
| Top of Page | |
| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the performance of steel studs
and runners, with respect to material, profile, dimensions and tolerances,
cutouts, corrosion protection and screw-holding ability, will fall significantly
below expectations, which could lead to an inability to resist expected lateral
and gravity loads. For assemblies that are required to
provide fire resistance, this is to limit the probability of excessive movement,
deformation or failure under expected loads, which could lead to compromised
fire resistance of the assemblies, which could lead to harm to persons.
