No, that's not always the case as there are several references within NFPA 13 dealing with a concealed space that has limited access. So the space may have access and still be a concealed space.
Typically a concealed space is one that does not permit occupancy or storage, has limited or no access, and whose area is not readily viewable from the occupied space. Craig L.
