Positioning air-conditioners or other climbable objects on a balcony or deck close to a balustrade should be avoided or made non-climbable as these can be used as a foothold for children to climb on. Similar to the pool safety requirements, it is recommended that a non-climbable arc of 900mm be maintained outwards from the top of a balustrade.
Does anyone know of any legislation that says objects (like planters) must not be placed on balconies in such a way that they render the balustrade climbable? Given the current campaign on childproof windows, this would have to be the logical next step.
