9.9.8.1.(3)

Intent

Intent 1:

To expand the application of Subclauses 3.4.2.5.(1)(d)(i) to 3.4.2.5.(1)(d)(iv) to Part 9 buildings.

Intent 2:

To exempt travel distance measurements involving wide public corridors from the application of Sentences (1) and 9.9.8.2.(1), and permit a longer maximum travel distance if certain conditions are met [i.e. conformance to Subclauses 3.4.2.5.(1)(d)(i) to 3.4.2.5.(1)(d)(iv)], on the basis that, in sprinklered buildings, wide corridors that are sufficiently high will allow for a reasonable volume of smoke storage above the heads of the pedestrians.
