2.5.1.1.(1) | Application | Intent |
| + |
| Application | Application 1: Access to existing buildings for
fire department vehicles.
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 3.2.7.12.(2), which applies to buildings storing more than 10 m2 of dangerous goods in packages or containers in a single fire compartment.
Note: The National Building Code of Canada is most often applied
to existing buildings when an owner wishes to rehabilitate
a building, change its use, or build an addition;
or when an enforcement authority decrees that a building,
or a class of buildings, be altered for reasons
of public safety. It is not intended that either the NBC or the NFC be used
to enforce the retrospective application of new requirements in the NBC to
existing buildings. [See Appendix Note A-2.1.3.1.(1).]
