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.
