[F20,F22-OS1.2]Applies to assemblies required to provide fire resistance.

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the performance of nails, with respect to withdrawal resistance, pull-through resistance or shear strength, will fall significantly below expectations, which could lead to an inability to resist expected vertical or lateral loads, which could lead to fastened elements detaching from supporting members.

Where assemblies are required to provide fire resistance, this is to limit the probability of compromised fire resistance of the assembly, which could lead to harm to persons.
