Are vision panels needed in doors opening on to stairways in school?

[Meady]

I was wondering if you could help clarify something in ADB Vol's 1 and 2 for me please relating to the requirement for vision panels in doors in particular in schools.

I can see that there is a requirement for vision panels on doors dividing corridors and doors which are hung and designed to swing both directions.  But should doors which open on to stairways also include vision panels too?

It would be reasonable to say they should, but you cant say they must unless double swing.

Thank you AnthonyB - the good old 'should' and 'must' scenario!! ?
