4.2.11.1.(2)

Intent 1:

To waive the clearances [to buildings as required in Sentence 4.2.11.1.(1) and Table 4.2.11.1.] if the quantity of liquids stored outdoors [fire load] is limited and the building:

• is small and used primarily for the storage or handling of liquids, or
• is protected in such a manner that a fire in the outdoor container storage area is unlikely to spread inside the adjacent building, and a fire originating inside the building is unlikely to spread to the storage area.

This is to limit the probability of the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency responders.
