6.13 Windows
6.13.1 Accessible windows
Windows in buildings are essential for ventilation and weather
shielding purposes. As such, they should be accessible by
the users in order to perform their function. The most common
window types in Hong Kong include casement, top hung and
sliding and they require a pushing or pulling force to open
or close. Windows should not require a force more than 22.2N
to operate. It is recommended that all window locks and
controls should preferably be operable with one hand and
shall not require tight grasping or twisting of the wrist.
