Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequate strength
of plywood interior finishes, which could lead to an inability to
resist expected impact, gravity or lateral loads.
This is to limit the probability of the deformation or detachment
of interior finishes, which could lead to:
- where interior finishes contribute to the required bracing
or lateral support for studs, the buckling or racking of walls, which
could lead to structural failure, or
- where interior finishes support or provide the substrate
for required environmental separation elements, the excessive deformation,
displacement or failure of such elements, which could lead to deterioration,
which could lead to further compromised structural integrity.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
