11B-404.3.1 Clear width.
Doorways shall provide a clear opening of 32 inches (813 mm) minimum in power-on and power-off mode. The minimum clear width for automatic door systems in a doorway shall provide a clear, unobstructed opening of 32 inches (813 mm) with one leaf positioned at an angle of 90 degrees from its closed position.
[2010 ADAS] 404.3.1 Clear Width. Doorways shall provide a clear opening of 32 inches (815 mm) minimum in power-on and power-off mode. The minimum clear width for automatic door systems in a doorway shall be based on the clear opening provided by all leaves in the open position.
ETA Editor's Note
CBC clear width requirement is more stringent at multi-leaf automatic and power-assisted doors than 2010 ADAS, since it must be provided by one door leaf.
