in case of fire or other emergency as per

clauses 4.2 to 4.4.2.5 of Part 4 of the

National Building Code of India, 2016/this

part of regulations.

15.9.2. General Requirements:

The following general requirements shall

apply to exits.—

(a) Unless otherwise specified, lifts,

escalators, moving walks and revolving

doors shall not be considered as exits and

shall not constitute any part of the required

exit.

(b) Every exit, exit passageway and exit

discharge shall be continuously maintained

free of all obstructions or impediments to

full use in the case of fire or other

emergency.

occupancy shall be provided with exits

sufficient to permit safe egress of occupants

in case of fire or other emergency.

(d) In every building or structure, exits

shall

comply

with

the

minimum

requirements of this Part of regulations,

except those not accessible for general

public use.

(e) No building shall be so altered as to

reduce the number, width or protection of

exits to less than that required.

(f) For non-naturally ventilated areas, fire

doors with 120 minutes fire resistance

rating shall be provided and particularly

at the entrance to lift lobby and stair well

where a ‘funnel or flue effect’ may be

created, inducing an upward spread of fire,

to prevent spread of fire and smoke.

(g) Exits shall be so arranged that they

may be reached without passing through

another occupied unit/passage in others

control, if they pose challenge or restriction

in means of egress.

(h) Doors in exits shall open in the

direction of exit. In case of Group D

Assembly Buildings and Group C

Institutional Buildings (Subdivision C-1

Hospitals and sanatoria), exit door shall not

open immediately upon a flight of stair and

all such entries to the stair shall be through

a landing, so that such doors do not impede

movement of people descending from a

higher floor when fully opened (see Sketch

No. 8A). While for other occupancies, such

doors shall not reduce the pathway in the

landing by more than half the width of such

staircase (see Sketch No. 8B). Overhead or

sliding doors shall not be installed.

from upper floors (rounded to the

next higher number) shall discharge

directly to the exterior or through exit

passageways.

(j) Unless otherwise specified, all the

exits and exit passageways to exit

discharge shall have a clear ceiling height

of at least 2.4 meter. However, the height

of exit door shall be at least 2.0 meter (see

Sketch No. 9.)

(k) Where changes in elevation of more

than 300 mm are encountered in the exits,

ramps or sloped surfaces shall be used with

handrails and floor finish materials that

contrast with the adjacent finish materials.

(l) The capacity of the means of egress

required from any storey of the building

shall not be reduced along the path of

egress travel until arrival to the exit

discharge.

(m) The lifts, escalators, moving walks,

turnstiles and revolving doors shall not be

considered in determining the required

capacity of means of egress for the

individual floors or the building.

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 14

1ST JULY, 2021

397

(n) Turnstiles or similar devices that

restrict travel to one direction or that are

used to restrict unauthorized entry

shall not be so placed as to obstruct any

required means of egress. Alternative door

openings of required exit width shall be

available within 3 meter of such devices, if

installed.

(o) Suitable means shall be provided so

that all access controlled exit doors,

turnstiles, boom barriers and other such

exits shall automatically operate to open

mode during emergencies like fire, smoke,

acts of terrorism, etc, so that people can

safely and quickly egress into safe areas

outside. If required, a master controlling

device may be installed at a strategic

location to achieve this.

(p) Penetrations into and openings

through an exit are prohibited except those

necessary like for the fire protection piping,

ducts for pressurization and similar life

safety services. Such openings as well as

vertical passage of shaft through floors shall

be protected by passive systems.

(q) Walking surfaces in exit access shall

comply with the following requirements for

smooth exit:—

(i) Walking surfaces shall be nominally

levelled.

(ii) The slope of walking surface in the

direction of travel shall not exceed 1 in

20 unless the ramp requirements are

met.

(iii) Slope perpendicular to the

direction of travel shall not exceed

1 in 48.

(iv) Walking surfaces shall be slip

resistant along the entire path of travel.

15.9.3. Number of Exits: The minimum

required number of exits in a building shall

be determined based on occupant load (see

Table XXI as specified in regulation 15.8.1)

and width required per person (see Table

XXII as specified in regulation 15.9.5) as

appropriate to the type of exit for respective

occupancies, subject to complying with

maximum travel distance requirement (see

Table XXIII as specified in regulation

15.9.6).

15.9.4. Arrangement of Exits:—

(a) Exits shall be so located that the

travel distance on the floor shall not

exceed the distance given in Table XXIII

as specified in regulation 15.9.6.

(b) Travel distance shall be measured

from the most remote point within a

storey or a mezzanine floor along the

natural and un-obstructed path of

horizontal or vertical egress travel to the

door to an exit.

exit access shall not exceed 6 meters for

educational, institutional and assembly

occupancies. For other occupancies, the

same shall be 15 meter (see Sketch

No. 11.).

(d) Exits shall be placed as remote from

each other as possible and shall be

arranged to provide direct access in

separate directions from any point in the

area served.

15.9.5. Capacity of Exits:—

(a) Exit capacity is the number of

people that can pass through a stairway,

level components (door and corridor)

and ramps. The total capacity of all the

respective means of egress serving a

floor shall be sufficient to allow egress of

the entire population of the floor.

(b) The unit of exit width, used to

measure the capacity if any exit, shall

be 500 mm. A clear width of 250 mm.

shall be counted as an additional half

unit. Clear width less than 250 mm. shall

not be counted for exit width.

level components and ramps shall be

determined using the capacity factors in

accordance with Table XXII.

Note: If an exit doorway measures 1,000 mm

in clear width, it would be defined as

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES I No. 14

1ST JULY, 2021

398

providing exit capacity for 1,000/6.5

occupants, that is, 153 persons (say 150

persons) and number of such exit doorways

can then be calculated depending on the

occupant load.

(d) When calculating stairways, level

components and ramps and other exit

means, the capacity of the entire system

shall have to be based upon the

minimum capacity available from any

part of the system. The corridor, if so

provided shall also to be planned with

consideration of exit access adequacy for

the number of occupants. Further, the

situation of doors opening to an exit

stairway shall be considered. If the

stairway provides an exit capacity of 150

persons, and the doors leading into the

stairway provide an exit capacity of 153

persons, the overall exit system would

be considered to provide the minimum

exit capacity of only 150 persons afforded

by the stairway. The exit planning will

be limited by the most restrictive exit

calculation under the means of egress.

(e) In the procedures for determining

required egress capacity, the number of

required means of egress is based on a

floor-by-floor consideration, rather than

the accumulation of the occupancy loads

of all the floors. However, the number of

means of egress cannot decrease as an

occupant proceeds along the egress

path.

15.9.6. Types of Exit access and exits:

Various types of exit access and exits are

doorways, corridors and passageways,

horizontal exits, internal staircases, exit

passageways, external staircases and

ramps.
