APPLICATION:
Materials for insulation and coverings on pipes in
heating and cooling systems, in 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], with respect to the design and installation of heating and air-conditioning
systems, other than those serving individual dwelling units, as stated in Sentence

INTENT:
To limit the probability that materials that are inappropriate
for the application will have inadequate resistance to high temperatures or
to mould or mildew, which could lead to the accelerated deterioration of the
insulation and coverings on pipes, which could lead to hot or cold pipes being
exposed, which could lead to harm to persons.
