11B-603.2.3 Door swing.
Doors shall not swing into the clear floor space or clearance required for any fixture. Other than the door to the accessible water closet compartment, a door in any position, may encroach into the turning space by 12 inches (305 mm) maximum.
[2010 ADAS] 603.2.3 Door Swing. Doors shall not swing into the clear floor space or clearance required for any fixture. Doors shall be permitted to swing into the required turning space.
Exceptions:
1. Reserved.
[2010 ADAS] 1. Doors to a toilet room or bathing room for a single occupant accessed only through a private office and not for common use or public use shall be permitted to swing into the clear floor space or clearance provided the swing of the door can be reversed to comply with 603.2.3.
2. Where the toilet room or bathing room is for individual use and a clear floor space complying with Section 11B-305.3 is provided within the room beyond the arc of the door swing, doors shall be permitted to swing into the clear floor space or clearance required for any fixture.
ETA Editor's Note
Limiting the encroachment of door swings into the wheelchair turning space, and lacking Exception 1 above allowed by 2010 ADAS, the 2013 CBC requirements pertaining to toilet or bathing room clearances are more stringent. Note also that Exception 2 was not allowed in previous editions of CBC.
