Internal glazed doors - Build.Reg? Confused...

Came to the point of choosing internal doors. 

In two rooms on ground floor (hallway to kitchen and hallway to reception room) we definitely need glazed doors to allow flow of natural light.

Question: can these be glazed like below (or similar), or once again Park K kicks in and it should all be protected against collision, max.250mm panel width, etc? Don't want BC to come in and tick us off for unsuitable doors (on the other hand, why are they widely on sale?)?

+1 Any glass in a door (or 300mm either side of a door) below 1500mm must be "safety glass". Could be toughened or laminated. Elsewhere it's any glass below 800mm.

 

There should be a standards mark on every pane.

 

If you are fitting the glass yourself don't stand panes on a hard surface as tiny scratches or chips can cause toughened glass to shatter. 

 

Different rules apply for glass in fire rated doors.
