| Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Vapour barriers for
thermally insulated wall, ceiling and floor assemblies separating heated space
from unheated space, exterior air or exterior soil,
in 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 of an uncontrolled diffusion of
water vapour from air in heated space into insulated wall, ceiling and floor
assemblies. This is to limit the probability of condensation,
which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural
integrity of assemblies acting as environmental separators, which could lead
to harm to persons.
