Door Swing Occupancy B 2nd Floor Patio

[Rick Garhart]

Building has an exterior 2nd floor patio. This portion of the building is an Occupancy B Is there a requirement for which direction the doors back into the building must swing. Currently requested as out swing on to the patio. Occupancy of the Patio is less than 50. Question is since egress path is technically back into the building should they swing in?

Thanks I had found that as well but was unsure if it applied to this situation.
