  1. +

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt roof coverings for certain buildings from the application of Sentence 3.1.15.2.(1), which would otherwise require a classification, on the basis that:

  • in the case of tents and air-supported structures, it is not practical to meet the fire test and classification criteria,
  • in the case of Group A, Division 2 occupancies, the conditions imposed provide an appropriate level of protection by limiting the size of the building and limiting the combustibility of the roof covering material exposed to a fire in the building, and
  • in the case of brick, masonry, concrete, metal sheets or metal shingles installed on noncombustible roof deck or framing, are classified as Class A roof assemblies which are deemed effective against severe fire test exposure.
