Intent

Intent 1:

To supersede the requirement in Sentence 3.2.7.12.(1), which references Section 2.5. [specifically Sentence 2.5.1.1.(1)] which would otherwise permit a single building access point, if the area of product storage exceeds a certain limit, on the basis that the increased area of product storage imposes a higher fire hazard and warrants a least two building access points.

This is to limit the probability that emergency response operations will be delayed or inefficient, which could lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could lead to damage to the building.
