The applicant sought to use Passenger Visual Information Displays (PVIS) instead of standard ULC-listed strobe lights as visual signal devices for the fire alarm systems in 15 new Eglinton Crosstown LRT stations.
The City of Toronto denied the alternative solution because PVIS is not a ULC-listed device.
The Building Code Commission ruled that the proposed alternative solution, which integrates PVIS with established standard operating procedures and constant system monitoring, provides sufficiency of compliance with the Building Code's requirements for visual signal devices in rapid transit stations.
