• G. Stair Details
• 3. There shall be no variation exceeding five millimeters
(5mm), in the width of treads or in height of risers in any flight

• H. Guards and Handrails
• 1. Means of egress such as stairs, stair landings, balconies, ramps
and aisles located along the edge of open-sided floor and
mezzanines, shall have guards to prevent falls over the open side.
Each new stair, stair landing, and ramp shall have handrails on
both sides.
• 2. Required guards and handrails shall continue for the full length
of each flight of stairs.
• 3. The design of guards and handrails and the hardware for
attaching handrails to guards, balusters, or masonry walls shall be
such that there are no projecting logs on attachment devices or
non-projecting corners or members of grilles or panels which may
engage loose clothing. Opening in guards shall be designed to

centimeters (86.5 cm) above the upper surface of the tread,
measured vertically to the top of the rail from a point on the
tread twenty five millimeters (25 mm) back from the leading
edge, except on stairways designed for use by children an
additional handrail may be provided lower than the main
handrail.
• b. Handrails shall provide a clearance of at least thirty eight
(38) millimeters between handrail and wall to which it is

• I. Smokeproof Enclosures
• 9. Stair Pressurization
• a. Smokeproof enclosures using stair pressurization shall use
an approved engineered system with a design pressure
difference across the barrier of not less than 12.5 N/m2 in
sprinklered buildings, or 25 N/m2 in nonsprinklered
buildings, and shall be capable of maintaining these pressure
differences under likely conditions of stack effect or wind. The
pressure difference across doors shall not exceed that which
allows the door to begin to be opened by a force of 133 N in
accordance with Section 10.2.5.3 of this IRR
