13.3.2.3 Direct access to stairway enclosures

 Direct access to escape stairway enclosures is only intended for those areas of an accommodation space as defined in regulation II-2/3.39 for public spaces. Portions of an accommodation space that serve a purpose different than that of a public space such as theatre backstage areas, should not have direct access to escape stairway enclosures.
