Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the performance of skylights will fall significantly below expectations with respect to:
  • structural strength and integrity, which could lead to:
    • components falling from skylights, or
    • snow or ice falling through skylights, and
  • protection against condensation and precipitation ingress, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity of skylight assemblies and adjacent roof, ceiling and exterior wall assemblies.
This is to limit the probability of structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.
