Intent 1:
To remove limits to the height of storage of products
listed in Table 3.2.3.2. [as stated in Sentence 3.2.3.2.(1)] if certain measures are taken [building is sprinklered
and storage is in racks].
This is to limit the
probability that:
- stored products will collapse, which could lead to the
unwanted release of the products, which could lead to a fire or explosion,
which could lead to harm to persons,
- stored products will collapse prematurely in a fire
situation, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead
to harm to persons, including emergency responders, and
- a fire will not be suppressed or controlled, which could
lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could
lead to harm to persons.
