5.1.2. application

In Plain Language

This is a scoping clause: it simply confirms Part 5 (Environmental Separation) applies to the same buildings described back in Division A, Subsection 1.1.2. There's no technical requirement here, just a pointer.

This is a plain-language summary of the 2012/2017 Ontario Building Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the 2024 edition (O.Reg. 163/24) or a qualified professional before construction.
