3.1.16.1.(1)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that certain fabrics having an inappropriately high flame-spread property will be used, which could lead to the spread of fire across the exposed surfaces of the fabric and to other parts of the building [interior or exterior], 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.
