Glazed entrance doors and glazed screens to accessible entrances
Visually impaired people must be able to clearly identify glass entrance doors, whether they are within a glazed screen or standalone. Doors must be distinguishable when shut or open, and measures must prevent people from walking into held-open doors.
Visually impaired people should be in no doubt as to the location of glass entrance doors, especially when the doors are within a glazed screen. The presence of the door should be apparent when it is shut and also when open. Where it can be held open, measures should be taken to avoid people being harmed by walking into the door. In addition to meeting the requirements of Part R, glazed doors and screens must also comply with the relevant requirements of Part V.
