1.1.7.3.1  Projects can use the CBC or CRC 

but not both (Residential 1 and 2 family dwelling).

202 Definition of Horizontal Exit HORIZONTAL EXIT. An exit component consisting of 

fire‐resistance‐rated construction and opening protectives intended to compartmentalize portions of a building thereby creating refuge areas that afford safety from the fire and smoke from the area of fire origin.

Focuses on compartmentalization aspect of using a “horizontal exit” rather than on the path of egress travel.

202 Definition of Treated Wood TREATED WOOD, Wood products that are conditioned to 

enhance fire‐retardant or preservative properties. Fire‐retardant‐treated wood. Wood products that, when 

impregnated with chemicals by a pressure process or other means during manufacture, exhibit reduced surface‐burning characteristics and resist propagation of fire.

Preservative‐treated wood. Wood products that, conditioned with chemicals by a pressure process or other means, exhibit reduced susceptibility to damage by fungi, insects or marine borers.
