No access door should be located in a bathroom or kitchen.
The air leakage rate through an access hatch, including the frame, should be less than 1.0 m3/h at 2Pa.
Hatch covers should be heavy enough to compress the seal or be clamped.
Drop down hatches are more difficult to seal and it is recommended that a proprietary unit is used.
