Sec. 393.62  Window obstructions.

    Windows, if otherwise capable of complying with Sec. 393.61 (a) and 
(b), shall not be obstructed by bars or other such means located either 
inside or outside such windows such as would hinder the escape of 
occupants unless such bars or other such means are so constructed as to 
provide a clear opening, at least equal to the opening provided by the 
window to which it is adjacent, when subjected to the same test 
specified in Sec. 393.61(c). The point of application of such test force 
shall be such as will be most likely to result in the removal of the 
obstruction.
