CS 23.2315 Means of egress and emergency exits
ED Decision 2017/013/R
(a) With the cabin configured for take-off or landing, the aeroplane is designed to:
(1) Facilitate rapid and safe evacuation of the aeroplane in conditions likely to occur following an emergency landing, excluding ditching for Level-1, Level-2 and single-engine Level-3 aeroplanes.
(2) Have means of egress (openings, exits or emergency exits) that can be readily located and opened from the inside and outside. The means of opening must be simple and obvious.
(3) Have easy access to emergency exits when present.
(b) Aeroplanes approved for aerobatics must have a means to egress the aeroplane in flight.

CS 23.2320 Occupant physical environment
ED Decision 2017/013/R
(a) The applicant must design the aeroplane to:
(1) allow clear communication between the flight crew and passengers;
(2) protect the pilot against serious injury due to hazards originating from high energy, associated with systems and equipment; and
(3) protect the occupants from serious injury due to breakage of windshields, windows, and canopies.
(b) For Level-4 aeroplanes, each windshield and its supporting structure directly in front of the pilot must withstand, without penetration, the impact equivalent to a two-pound bird when the velocity of the aeroplane is equal to the aeroplane’s maximum approach flap speed.
(c) The aeroplane must provide each occupant with air at a breathable pressure, free of hazardous concentrations of gases, vapours and smoke during normal operations and likely failures.
(d) If a pressurisation system is installed in the aeroplane, it must be designed to protect against:
(1) decompression to an unsafe level; and
(2) excessive differential pressure.
(e) If an oxygen system is installed in the aeroplane, it must:
(1) effectively provide oxygen to each user to prevent the effects of hypoxia; and
(2) be free from hazards in itself, in its method of operation, and its effect upon other components.
