Discussions to amend GTR 1 to require doors providing direct access for occupants to be equipped with an intuitively accessible exterior latch release control or alternatively in close vicinity to the door. The document notes that “intuitive,” “discoverable,” and “in close vicinity” are subjective terms difficult to assess objectively. It suggests defining these terms through objective criteria such as untrained first-time user performance testing within a specified timeframe, standardized ISO symbols, defined proximity zones relative to the door, and requirements balancing accessibility against inadvertent operation risks.
