level (which may be assumed to be
dependent on the number of people
in the car as well as machine
sound).
(Note: This item is currently
under review by the ATBCB to
determine the appropriate sound
level.)

4.13.5,p33
The life safety code (NFPA 101 5-
4.13.6
2.1.4.1) does not allow doors
4.13.11,p36
other than side-hinged, swinging
doors to be used for egress
purposes. A note needs to be
placed on such illustrations
stating that these doors shall be
used for only rooms or spaces
which are not normally occupied
(i.e., storage rooms, dressing
booth, or single-person toilet
rooms).
You are correct regarding the LSC
requirements about egress in a
hospital. Nothing is UFAS
conflicts with LSC provisions and
such a caveat has no place in the
legal requirements of UFAS (but
it would be a useful item in an
explanatory "handbook") for UFAS
is applied to many occupancy
types where such doors would be
permitted in occupied spaces by
NFPA 101 or other building codes.
D.3.8
4.13.7,p36
Two doors in series: Is it the
intent of this section to apply
to "vestibules" only, where the
passage through both doors is
always expected?
No.
Conversely, can we assume this
section is not expected to apply
to a room that has two entry
doors that just happen to be in
line with each other? See Figure
D-4.
In a room where two entry doors
line up, I believe that a clear
floor space 48" long (as in Fig
26) must be provided so that one
door is allowed to close fully
before the person must maneuver
to open the opposing door.
