Intent 1:
To remove the requirement for a minimum distance
between gas cylinders stored outdoors and a building opening, as stated
in Sentence 3.3.5.3.(1), if the building opening is into a
room conforming to Subsection 3.2.8.:
- used for no purpose other than the storage of compressed
gases, thus presenting the same level of hazard as the outdoor cylinders,
- separated from the remainder of the building [by a gas-tight
separation] in a manner that will limit the probability of the migration
of gases from the outdoor cylinders into the remainder of the building,
and
- separated from the remainder of the building [by a fire
separation] in a manner that will limit the probability of a fire
in the remainder of the building from spreading to or endangering
the outdoor gas cylinders.
This is to limit the probability
that gas will enter a building from the room, which could lead to
a fire or explosion inside the building, which could lead to harm
to persons, including emergency responders.
