Handrail for Exterior Stairs - USA code question 1

[darthsoilsguy2]

I've got a client who doesn't want to put handrails on some exterior stairs with a 3 ft grade change to get to a fenced garden area. These stairs are not a "means of egress" for the building per the IBC. The question boils down to "if you build stairs that isn't governed under Chapter 10, does it need handrails?"

Congress can exempt itself from the law and they call the Mafia organized crime.

DSG2.....take a look at section 1013...your application probably doesn't fall within the exceptions, therefore required, with or without public access
