supplemental hangers to support lighting fLxtures, these cross runners must provide the same
carrying capacity as the main runner.

shall be positively attached to the ceiling suspension main runners or to cross runners with the
same carrying capacity as the main runners.

support for permanent or relocatable partitions, the connection of the partition to the ceiling
system, the ceiling system members and their connections, and the lateral force bracing shall be
designed to support the reaction force of the partition from prescribed loads applied perpendicular
to the face of the partition. These partition reaction forces shall be in addition to the load
described in Subsection g. Partition connectors, the suspended ceiling system and the lateral force
bracing shall all be engineered to suit the individual partition application and shall be shown or
defined in the drawings or specifications.
