Intent 1:
To limit the probability that emergency electrical
power supply systems will not meet proper standards, which could lead
to emergency electrical power supply systems not performing in the
way intended when there is a loss of normal power in a fire situation,
which could lead to the inability of the emergency electrical power
supply systems to supply fire protection systems, which could lead
to the inability of:
- fire alarm or voice communication systems to promptly
notify persons in the building, which could lead to delays in the
evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place,
- sprinkler, standpipe and hose systems, and other fire
suppression systems [that rely on booster or fire pumps, or electrical
power] to control or suppress a fire, which could lead to the spread
of fire,
- emergency lighting systems to illuminate egress routes,
which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons
to a safe place,
- smoke management systems to control smoke conditions
as originally intended, which could lead to delays in emergency response
operations or the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place,
and
- elevator systems to be used in emergency response operations,
which could lead to delays in emergency response operation or the
evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place.
This is to limit the probability of
harm to persons, including emergency responders.
