I believe that they must still meet the exit distance requirements in IBC 2009 Table 1016.1, just as they must meet Illumination, smoke detection and Exit sign requirements.
Subject: RE: DEFINITION OF A CONCEALED SPACE I'm still curious if the egress rules apply to an unused attic if it has a man door for access and the ceiling construction happens to be something that can be walked on like concrete planks. If IBC defines it as a story or floor then why don't they need exiting? I'm pretty sure a 300 ft long dead end area would not meet the egress requirements.
