I am dealing with a project under the IBC 2009
My question is, are ALL stairs required to comply with Chapter 10 or only mean of egress stairs?
It seems that whens something is specific to a “means of egress" components, it is specified in that section. For example, doors specific “means of egress doors” or ramps specify “ramps used for components of means of egress”.
Stair section in IBC 2009; 1009 never states means of egress stairs.
