3.5.2. Physical Barrier
Any physical barrier should meet the
following requirements:
1. Provide at least the equivalent level of
warning to the approach of an open fire,
to that of a hearth.
2. Define a clear zone where occupants
must exercise additional caution.
3. Should be constructed of non-
combustible material, of robust design
and fixed in such a way so as to provide
a secure boundary and be mechanically
fixed to prevent accidental and/or
unintentional removal.
Such a device could take the form of a
fender, a shelf, a wall mounted decorative
bar, etc.
