3.2.6.5.(6)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the elevator electrical conductors will be damaged or prematurely fail on exposure to fire, which could lead to the elevators not properly operating during the time required to achieve occupant safety and for emergency responders to perform their duties, which could lead to delays or inefficiencies in fire emergency response operations, which could lead to:

• delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency responders, and
• the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency responders.
