Description
The Building Code clauses C1 to C6 Protection from Fire relate to protecting people in and around buildings, limiting fire spread and helping firefighting and rescue. This Acceptable Solution can be used for establishing compliance with those clauses for risk group SM. It is one of a suite of Acceptable Solutions C/AS1 to C/AS7, each of them corresponding to a risk group.
Scope
The scope of this Acceptable Solution is restricted to risk group SM. This covers buildings or parts of buildings where people sleep. This will include the following provided they are no more than 20 storeys high (from ground level):
- a) Apartment buildings and other buildings which consist of more than one household unit
- b) Accommodation units within other risk groups
- c) Hotel, motel and serviced apartment buildings
- d) Backpackers, cabins on holiday parks
- e) Buildings where more than 5 people pay for accommodation (such as homestay/ bed and breakfast)
- f) University halls of residence, education accommodation (eg, school boarding hostels), and
- g) Wharenui and other community sleeping spaces.
- h) Sheltered housing such as refuges, reintegration for prisoners, homeless shelters etc.
