This is not an NEC issue but rather a building code question. Here in the states it would typically be governed by the International Building Code or NFPA 101.

As others mentioned I would go to your building code. Pay attention to how it’s worded, Ohio lists both a average and a minimum, (1fc and 0.1fc I believe)
