Visual contrast and protection for transparent entrance doors
Transparent or translucent entrance doors must have distinguishable top and side edges through visual contrast with adjacent glazed screens. When held open, the leading edge must be protected by a distinguishable barrier.
Where an entrance door is manufactured from transparent or translucent materials and –
(a) forms part of, or is adjacent to, a glazed screen, it should have its top and side face edges distinguishable, through suitable visual contrast, from that of the glazed screen; and
(b) is designed and installed to be capable of being held open, the leading edge of the door should be protected by a suitable distinguishable barrier when in the held open position.
