(a)  the area does not exceed 150 m2;

(b)  the maximum distance to the exit door does not exceed 15 m;

(c)  no bedroom door giving onto a public corridor, in a hotel, is located more than 6 m from an indoor stairway used as an exit for that bedroom, except where the latter has another means of egress.
