Section R311.4 of the Residential Code deals with egress doors.

It doesn't look like it requires the swing to be of any particular
direction.  I also did not see any changes to this section in either of
the Supplements.

 

On the other hand, building safety groups have lately been encouraging
the use of doors that swing out because they are less likely to be blown
open in a windstorm.  That may be the source of the subject.

Has there been a recent change in the code requiring residential entry
doors to all be outswing?
