We had always assumed that when room capacity reaches 50 people, the room needs 2 exit doors and the doors must swing out. But, reading between the lines, Section 1008.1.2 says "doors shall swing in the direction of egress travel where serving an occupant load of 50 or more. If the room load is 60, and I have 2 doors, the load on each is 30. Are the doors required to swing out only if there are 2 doors and room capacity is over 100? (Up to the requirement for 3 exits, of course)
