It is not intended that the British Columbia Building Code be used to enforce the retrospective application of new requirements to existing [REF:term:bldng:buildings] or existing portions of relocated [REF:term:bldng:buildings] , unless specifically required by local regulations or bylaws. For example, although the British Columbia Fire Code could be interpreted to require the installation of fire alarm, standpipe and hose, and automatic sprinkler systems in an existing [REF:term:bldng:building] for which there were no requirements at the time of construction, it is not intented that the British Columbia Fire Code be applied in this manner to these [REF:term:bldng:buildings] unless the [REF:term:bc-thrt-hvn:authority having jurisdiction] has determined that there is an inherent threat to occupant safety and has issued an order to eliminate the [REF:term:nf-cndtn:unsafe condition] , or where substantial changes or additions are being made to an existing [REF:term:bldng:building] or the [REF:term:ccpnc:occupancy] has been changed.

It should be noted, however, that a change in [REF:term:ccpnc:occupancy] may affect some requirements (e.g. loads and [REF:term:fr-prtn:fire separations] ) and relocation to an area with different wind, snow or earthquake loads will require the application of current code requirements. Depending on the construction of the [REF:term:bldng:building] and the changes in load, structural modifications may be required. Similarly, parts of a relocated or existing [REF:term:bldng:building] that are reconstructed, such as foundations and basements, or parts being modified are required to be built to current codes." } ] } ],
