That seems to be a common sense definition.

Would you say this description is correct? "Limited access" A space which is
not accessible by simply opening a door and walking into it. It can be accessed if
necessary, just not by the general public or employees at their normal work station.

fundamentalist can be hard to deal with - lol.
The pont is that one could call it limited access but you are allowed to have
it (in other words, it does not have to be gypsum and being able to get to the
space is not a disqualifier - a bushism). The driver for omitting protection
is the area not used for storage (not used in the traditional warehouse sense)
or use as an occupied space.

FUNDAMENTALLY disagree (with all due respect). Accessible as in,
accessible for occupancy or storage? Or accessible as in, I can stick
my head up there. The latter does NOT require sprinkler protection,
which I think is the point of this query.

Happy Friday Forumites
I'm looking for clarification/definition for intent in NFPA 13 12010
Edition section 8.15.1.2.2 Concealed spaces of noncombustible and
limited-combustible construction with limited access and not
permitting occupancy or storage of combustibles shall not require
sprinkler protection.
First question - Does the space above the suspended ceiling of an
office occupancy, from the ceiling to the roof deck above meet the
definition of "concealed space"?
Second question- Does this same suspended ceiling (either acoustic
tile or sheetrock tile) meet the definition of "limited access"?
