      13.3.3 Sliding doors
      13.3.3.1 General
      The clear circulation space at doorways with sliding doors is based on the clear
      opening width of the doorway (D). The clear circulation space shall be not less than
      the dimensions specified in the tables in Figure 32 for the appropriate clear opening
      width.
      13.3.3.2 Cavity sliding doors
      Where a sliding door is within the wall cavity, the circulation space at the doorway
      shall be not less than that given in the tables of Figure 32 for the appropriate clear
      opening width (D).
      13.3.3.3 Surface-mounted doors
      Where a sliding door is surface-mounted, the circulation space at the doorway shall
      be as follows:
      (a)    The circulation space at the door face shall be not less than that given in the
             tables of Figure 32.
      (b)    The circulation space opposite the door face shall be increased from that
             given in the tables of Figure 32, by the values given in the Table of Figure 33.
             When a surface-mounted sliding door is automatic, these increases do not
             apply.
