It clarifies the following points: The requirements are placed in the general section in Chapter 8 so they are applicable for fire barriers, smoke barriers, and smoke partitions. Wall markings are only required for assemblies covered by NFPA 101 and NFPA 5000. The markings are only required for walls that have accessible concealed spaces, and the markings are to be provided in the concealed spaces.
