Intent 1:
To limit the probability that smoke alarms will:
- be inadvertently or purposely silenced [made inoperative
or damaged] as a result of false alarms, which could lead to the signal
devices not operating in a fire situation, which could lead to persons
not being promptly notified of the fire situation, which could lead
to delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place, which could lead
to harm to persons, and
- not be restored to normal operation after being silenced,
which could lead to the signal devices not operating in a fire situation,
which could lead to persons not being notified of the fire situation,
which could lead to delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place,
which could lead to harm to persons.
