Paragraph 3.10 PrecipitationF1

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Every building must be designed and constructed in such a way that there will not be a threat to the building or the health of the occupants as a result of moisture from precipitation penetrating to the inner face of the building.

Limitation

This standard does not apply to a building where penetration of moisture from the outside will result in effects no more harmful than those likely to arise from use of the building.
