This standard applies to the construction and operation of marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs, boat condominiums, docking facilities associated with residential condominiums, multiple-docking facilities at multiple-family residences, and all associated piers, docks, and floats. <br>This standard also applies to support facilities and structures used for construction, repair, storage, hauling and launching, or fueling of vessels if fire on a pier would pose an immediate threat to these facilities, or if a fire at a referenced facility would pose an immediate threat to a docking facility. <br>This standard applies to marinas and facilities servicing small recreational and commercial craft, yachts, and other craft of not more than 300 gross tons. <br>This standard is not intended to apply to a private, noncommercial docking facility constructed or occupied for the use of the owners or residents of the associated singlefamily dwelling.&#160; <br>No requirement in this standard is to be construed as reducing applicable building, fire, and electrical codes. <br><strong>Purpose.</strong> This standard is intended to provide a minimum acceptable level of safety to life and property from fire and electrical hazards at marinas and related facilities.
