3.2.8.2.(2) | Application | Intent |
| OS1 | OS1 |
| Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Storage of cylinders of Class 2.1 flammable, lighter-than-air
gases outside of rooms described in Sentence 3.2.8.2.(1), in unsprinklered buildings of combustible construction,
where the aggregate capacity of expanded gas in a single fire
compartment outside of the room is not more than 60 m3.
This applies to buildings or parts of buildings used for the short- or long-term storage of
cylinders of Class 2.1 flammable gases when stored in single fire
compartments in quantities greater than those shown in Table 3.2.7.1.,
whether raw or waste materials, goods in process, or finished goods.

| Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirement in Sentence 3.2.8.2.(1),
which would otherwise require that Class 2.1 flammable, lighter-than-air gases
be stored in a dedicated room, and allow their storage in the open in unsprinklered
buildings of combustible construction, if the aggregate capacity of expanded
gas per fire compartment outside of the room is limited. This
is to limit the probability that gases will accumulate in sufficient quantity
to form an ignitable mixture at floor level or in low areas, which could lead
to the ignition of the gases from a nearby ignition source, which could lead
to harm to persons.
