Double swing doors into restaurant kitchen

[Mech]

2009 IBC w/ 2012 chapter 11 and 2010 ICC A117.1

The architect / owner / someone has proposed (2) 30" wide double swinging doors into / out of a commercial kitchen.

The kitchen has its own means of egress door.

I believe at least one swinging door needs to provide a 32" wide opening with the door fully open.

Can someone please confirm?

Thanks
