Intent 1:
To permit the minimum 6 m aisle width
required in Clause 3.2.2.2.(5)(b) to be reduced to 2.4
m if certain conditions are met [the products are stored in
racks and the building is sprinklered].
This
is to limit the probability that:
- piles of stored products will collapse prematurely during
firefighting operations, and
- a fire will not be suppressed or controlled. This could
lead to the spread of fire in the stored products to other parts of
the building, which could lead to damage to the building.
