  1. OP3

Objective

OP3 Protection of Adjacent Buildings from Fire

Attribution

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt cladding from the requirements of Sentences 3.2.3.7.(1) and 3.2.3.7.(2) [specifically “Type of Cladding Required” in Table 3.2.3.7.], if certain conditions are met.

This is to limit the probability that:

  • fire will spread from the subject building to an adjacent building, which could lead to damage to the adjacent building,
  • fire will spread from the subject building to an adjacent building through unprotected openings, which could lead to damage to the adjacent building, and
  • an exposing building face will be ignited and contribute to, or be involved in, a fire, which could lead to the spread of fire from the subject building to an adjacent building, which could lead to damage to the adjacent building.
