Re: fire rated door?
Does not need to be a fire rated door.

It could be ... or it could be (as pointed out by Jerry Mc. below) ...

Jerry Mc.,

I'm not fully understanding the below:

(no label than can't confirm therefore report)
You mean 'if not solid wood and not less than 1-3/8 inches and not a solid or honey comb steel door not less than 1-3/8 inches', right?

If not one of those, then it must be labeled (to be a fire rated door) or it is not a proper door (not fire rated, and not one of the approved options.

Scott,

A fire rated door CAN HAVE a window in it, albeit of limited size (I believe it is 100 sq inches, which is why you find 3" by 33" view glass in many fire rated doors).

A door with a window the size in the photo, I agree, with a window *like that* - not fire rated.

Also neither does it meet the other two options for doors.
