Dans ces cas, le présent document peut servir de base pour la mise en oeuvre de mesures supplémentaires, tel que requis par l'appréciation du risque ; - la mise à disposition d'aides à l'évacuation lorsque l'ascenseur d'évacuation n'est pas disponible. Les phénomènes dangereux significatifs couverts dans le présent document sont énumérés dans l'Annexe D.
