Intent 1:

To increase the limits to the height of storage stated in Sentence 3.2.5.8.(1) if certain conditions are met.

This is to limit the probability that:

  • a fire involving the stored products will spread to other parts of the building, which could lead to harm to persons,
  • rocketing aerosol cans will not be contained to the dedicated storage area in a fire situation, which could lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency responders,
  • 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, and
  • 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.
