A door is NOT required. I can state this with certainty because I
submitted a comment arguing that a door was needed on bathrooms. I
argued that it should have a high level of separation than that for
typical compartment since we are EXCLUDING protection. The committee
REJECTED it and said follow the compartment rules. See ROC 13-282.
Greg - Let me know if we need to fax you a copy.

NFPA #13 2007 edition
A.3.3.2 Bathroom. A room is still considered a bathroom if it
contains just
a toilet. Additionally, two bathrooms can be adjacent to each other
and are
considered separate rooms, provided they are enclosed with the
required
level of construction.
I have an AHJ that is stating that this excerpt from NFPA #13 is
requiring a
toilet room to have 20 minute walls to be considered a separate
room with a
UL listed door.
Has anyone researched this? Is this the intent in 13?
Thanks,
