Intent 1:
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.2.7.9.(1), which would otherwise require fire suppression
systems, if certain measures are taken.
This
is to limit the probability that:
- excessive quantities of the products will be involved
in a fire, which could lead to an increase in fire severity, which
could lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which
could lead to damage to the building,
- incompatible dangerous goods will be mixed or come into
contact with each other, which could lead to an adverse reaction between
the dangerous goods, which could lead to a fire or explosion, which
could lead to damage to the building, and
- a fire involving the dangerous goods will spread to
other parts of the building, which could lead to damage to the building.
