UBC 2406.4, Item 6 addresses tempered glass in bathrooms (2406 addresses tempered/safety glass in general). The requirement is that tempered glass be installed when the bottom of the glass panel is within 60 inches of the standing surface of a tub, shower, etc.
The AHJ will interpret this as any standing surface that they believe will be wet during normal use. You can get into lots of debates with the inspector if the window is in the bathroom, but off to the side of the tub/shower. The section specifically says "Glazing in doors and enclosures...any portion of a building wall enclosing these compartments." Where the debate will come in is whether the bathroom itself is the "enclosure" for the tub.
If you have tempered glass there is no debate, if you don't then there can be.

Why do many homes in France lack window screens?
The main reason there is a lack of window screens in France is because of the way the windows are made. In the United States, most residential windows are made to open up and down, which makes it easy to add screens. In France, most of the windows open out, like French doors. This makes it difficult to fit them with screens.

What would cause the back window to implode?
Rear and side windows of all vehicles sold in the United States are made of "tempered glass". Tempered glass is used because it has a desirable characteristic in that it does not create long, sharp shards when it breaks. Tempered glass breaks into crystal shapes, with far less dangerous edges. You can still be cut by broken tempered glass, but not the deep, dangerous cuts that threatens life. When glass is tempered it must first be formed into the final shape. Tempered glass cannot be cut, and even slight bending will cause the entire sheet to shatter into the characteristic small crystals. If the vehicle is heated unevenly and the vehicle is attempting bend the glass, it will shatter. As a result, auto manufactures make sure that the vehicles do not put those types of stresses on the glass. Typically, when tempered auto glass shatters, the glass has been damaged through scratches or chips. After that, even moderate temperature change can cause the tempered glass to shatter. The scratches or chips don't even need to be very severe.
