Notes to Part 3

Functional Statements

A-3.2.1.1.(1) Listing of Functional Statements. The numbered functional statements are grouped according to functions

that deal with closely related subjects. For example, the first group deals with fire risks, the second group deals with emergency egress

and response, etc. There may be gaps in the numbering sequence for the following reasons:

• Each group has unused numbers which allows for the possible future creation of additional functional statements within any one

group.

• There is a master list of functional statements covering the principal Code Documents – the British Columbia Building Code

Book I: General, British Columbia Building Code Book II: Plumbing Systems, and

the British Columbia Fire Code – but not all

functional statements are pertinent to all Codes.
