90sec is a certification guideline not a rule when starting evac. Again, please go read about QF32 to understand why immediate evac may not be a good idea.
The 90 seconds was figure obtained statistically and has been briefed for many years as: After a crash landing, passengers that exit the aircraft in under 90 seconds are likely to survive; survivability after that time rapidly reduces.
