Attribution

[F82,F80-OS1.2]Applies where structural wood elements support or are used in assemblies that are required to provide fire resistance.

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of an inadequate resistance to termites or an inability to detect and mitigate termite infestations, which could lead to damage to wood elements, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity or lateral loads.

Where structural wood elements support or are used in assemblies that are required to provide fire resistance, this is to limit the probability of the compromised fire resistance of the assembly, which could lead to harm to persons.
