Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of an inability to resist gravity, lateral or impact loads and high temperatures.

  • compromised fire resistance of the assembly, or
  • excessive heat transfer, which could lead to the ignition of combustible building components.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
