3.2.7.9.(2)


Objective	OP1 Fire Protection of the Building or Facility
Attribution	[F02,F03-OP1.2] [F01-OP1.1]
Application	Application 1: Sprinkler or other fire suppression systems for buildings used for the storage of dangerous goods regulated by Subsection 3.2.7., where: the sum of individual storage areas in the building used for the storage of dangerous goods, other than Class 9 dangerous goods with no other classification and those covered in Part 4 of this Code, does not exceed 100 m², and the dangerous goods are: separated in conformance with Table 3.2.7.6., and stored in fire compartments separated from the remainder of the building by a fire separation having a fire-resistance rating of not less than 2 h. This applies to buildings or parts of buildings used for the short- or long-term storage of dangerous goods in packages or containers when stored in single fire compartments in quantities greater than those shown in Table 3.2.7.6., whether raw or waste materials, goods in process, or finished goods.

Intent	Intent 1: To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.2.7.9.(1), which would otherwise require fire suppression systems, if certain measures are taken. This is to limit the probability that: excessive quantities of the products will be involved in a fire, which could lead to an increase in fire severity, which could lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could lead to damage to the building, incompatible dangerous goods will be mixed or come into contact with each other, which could lead to an adverse reaction between the dangerous goods, which could lead to a fire or explosion, which could lead to damage to the building, and a fire involving the dangerous goods will spread to other parts of the building, which could lead to damage to the building.
