Landing balustrade 900mm building regs?

[ollie]

hi guys im putting a bookcase balustrade on the landing on my new build (similar to attached)

 

I just wanted to ensure i've read building regs correctly and that it needs to be a min height of 900mm?

 

 

 

thanks in advance

It is

900 is the industry standard

In my personal opinion that wouldn’t pass at all

each shelf is a step ladder to be climbed over. 

So would need a balustrade 900 higher than highest point on that. 

 

Please tell me im wrong, but that’s how I would view it.

As per @Russell griffiths it needs to be non-climbable.  Cover the top part in broken glass and razor wire to make it safe.

Put a simple banister and make this an "after sign off" project.
