| | |
| | 6) PLEASE BE AWARE OF AN ERROR IN FBC-B TABLE 508.4 FOR |
| | FIRE RATINGS BETWEEN S1 AND S2 OCCUPANCIES. PLEASE |
| | REVIEW THE BUILDING OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION INFORMAL |
| | INTERPRETATION: |
| | DATE: TUE JUL 1 2014 |
| | REPORT: 7357 |
| | CODE: BUILDING CODE YEAR: 2010 |
| | SECTION: TABLE 508.4 |
| | QUESTION: |
| | IS IT THE INTENT OF TABLE 508.4 TO REQUIRE A (1HR (S), |
| | 2HR (NS)) SEPARATION BETWEEN B AND S-2 OCCUPANCY AND NO |
| | SEPARATION REQUIREMENT BETWEEN B AND S-1 OCCUPANCY? |
| | COMMENT: |
| | PER CHAPTER 3, S-2 OCCUPANCY ARE DEFINED AS LOW- HAZARD |
| | STORAGE, WHERE AS S-1 OCCUPANCY IS DEFINED AS |
| | MODERATE-HAZARD OCCUPANCY. THE STORED MATERIALS LIST |
| | FOR S-1 OCCUPANCY IS MUCH MORE HAZARDOUS THAN THE LIST |
| | FOR S-2 OCCUPANCY AND ONE WOULD THINK THAT THE S-1 |
| | OCCUPANCY WOULD REQUIRE THE SEPARATION AND THE S-2 |
| | OCCUPANCY WOULD NOT. |
| | ANSWER: |
| | BASED ON THE INFORMATION REVIEWED, IT APPEARS YOU ARE |
| | CORRECT THAT A TYPO EXISTS. THE BEST APPROACH FOR THIS |
| | PARTICULAR ISSUE WOULD BE EITHER A FORMAL |
| | INTERPRETATION WHICH HAS STANDING OR A DEC STATEMENT |
| | FROM THE FLORIDA BUILDING COMMISSION. PLEASE SEE THE |
| | COMMENTARY BELOW. |
| | COMMENTARY: |
| | TABLE 508.4 DOES APPEAR TO HAVE A TYPO. THE 2001 |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, TABLE 704.1 REQUIRED A 3 HOUR |
| | SEPARATION FOR S1 AND A 2 HOUR SEPARATION FOR S2. IN |
| | THE 2004 CODE TABLE 706.3.7 ALSO REQUIRES 3 HOURS FOR |
| | S1 AND 2 HOURS FOR S2. THE TYPO APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN |
| | INTRODUCED WITH TABLE 508.4 IN THE 2007 CODE. TABLE |
| | 508.4 APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN WRONG SINCE ITS INCEPTION. |
| | SUBMITTING A REQUEST FOR A FORMAL INTERPRETATION WOULD |
| | PERMIT APPLICATION OF CORRECTION TO THIS ISSUE UNTIL A |
| | CODE CHANGE CAN BE MADE, IF IT IS NOT ALREADY IN THE |
| | WORKS. |
