Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.4.6.15.(1), which would otherwise require certain measures, and permit electrically powered revolving doors if certain conditions are met.

This is to limit the probability that:

  • [Clauses 3.4.6.15.(3)(a) et (b)] use of the doorway in an emergency situation will lead to congestion or the buildup of persons at the doorway, which could lead to:
    • persons being crushed, which could lead to harm to persons, and
    • delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons,
  • [Clause 3.4.6.15.(3)(d)] persons will not be familiar with the method of door opening in an emergency situation, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, and
  • [Clause 3.4.6.15.(3)(e)] glass used in the construction of the doors will not meet proper standards, which could lead to the glass not performing in the way intended in a normal use situation, which could lead to failure of the glass [e.g. breaking or splintering], which could lead to harm to persons.
