APPLICATION:

Smoke detectors required by Sentence 3.2.4.14.(1) in elevator lobbies on the recall level, in buildings having elevators that serve storeys above the first storey and that are equipped with an automatic emergency recall feature.
This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A.
This also applies to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] in which fire alarm systems are installed, as stated in Sentence 9.10.18.6.(1).
