3.4.3.2.(4)

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt an exit stair from the application of Sentence 3.4.3.1.(2) for converging exits, which would otherwise require the exit width to be cumulative, based on the total occupant load of the superimposed storeys served by the exit, on the basis that exits need only be designed for a fire or other untenable conditions occurring on one floor area and the occupants moving from that floor area.
