Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the requirements of Sentence 9.10.22.2.(1) and permit a reduction in vertical clearance, if certain conditions are met.

This is to limit the probability that heat radiating from a cooktop or from an open fire will ignite nearby framing, finishes or cabinetry, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.

Intent 2:

To supersede the requirements stated in CAN/CSA-B149.1, referred to in Sentence 9.10.22.1.(1), with regard to natural gas and propane cooktops, in cases of conflict.
