Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.2.4.12.(5), and allow the installation of fire detectors instead of smoke detectors when certain conditions are met.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • unnecessary evacuation in response to a false or unwanted alarm, which could lead to harm to persons, and
  • inappropriate actions being taken by designated persons [staff], which could lead to delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
