Intent 1:
To waive the clearance requirements in Sentence 3.3.3.2.(2) if the storage presents a low fire hazard to building
occupants because of the following:
- the type and arrangement of stored products do not present
a high fire hazard [high fire load],
- a barrier is provided to limit the probability that
fire will spread from the stored products to the building, and
- a sufficient clear space is provided to limit the probability
that fire will spread from the stored products to the building where
portions of the fire barrier in Clause 3.3.3.2.(3)(b) do not
provide the required level of protection.
This is to limit the probability that
a fire involving the stored products will spread to a building on
the same property, which could lead to harm to persons in the building.
