Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that performance, with respect
to the protection of structural wood elements from termite infestation or
decay, will fall significantly below expectations. Where
structural wood elements support or are used in assemblies that are required

fire resistance of the assembly, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 2: To limit the application of the standard to situations where
the limited protection provided by borates will be adequate. |
