Fire resisting windows in escape route

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

In my FRA I am asked the question: "Are the windows leading onto the escape route above 1.1m fire resisting". 

i am under the impression that windows below 1.1m and less than 1.8m in distance from flat entrances in a block of flats escape route have to be fire resisting. Is this true?

The question has been flipped the wrong way around - on open deck approach flats with a single escape route it would only be windows with a bottom sill under 1.1m that should be FR - above that it's not an issue (assuming they don't face an external stair)
