ED Decision 2017/015/R
Doors separating occupiable areas of the aeroplane cabin that do not
obstruct a possible passenger egress path when closed are not prohibited by CS
25 813(e).
Any such door should be openable from both sides without the use of any
tool, which means without the need to use any item; it is not acceptable to
require the use of even common items such as coins, credit cards, pens etc.
(note: lavatory doors must comply with CS 25.820).
It is acceptable to have a door between a passenger compartment and a passenger emergency exit in contradiction with the prohibition of CS 25.813(e), provided that this door is secured in the open position by means acceptable to EASA that cannot be overridden except by a maintenance action (i.e. the necessary actions should be such that aeroplane occupants are unlikely to be equipped to perform them).
