Where a window has an opening section through which a person may fall, and the bottom of the opening section is more than 1400mm above external ground level, suitable safety restrictors shall be fitted. Safety restrictors shall restrain the window sufficiently to prevent such falls.

I wouldn't want to buy them and then have the inspector tell me it's not acceptable. Also, would the likes of the Jackloc push and turn safety restrictors be okay?
