ICC/ANSI A117.1-2003
Standard on Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities:
The specifications in the
2003 ANSI Standard make sites, facilities, buildings and elements accessible to
and usable by people with such physical disabilities as the inability to walk,
difficulty walking, reliance on walking aids, blindness and visual impairment,
deafness and hearing impairment, incoordination, reaching and manipulation
disabilities, lack of stamina, difficulty interpreting and reacting to sensory
information, and extremes of physical size. The intent of the ICC/ANSI
A117.1-2003 standard is to allow a person with physical disability to
independently get to, enter, and use a site, facility, building, or element.
The previous edition was the 1998 edition. New to the 2003 edition are
criteria for elements and fixtures primarily for children's use; enhanced reach
range, criteria; transportation facilities; additional provisions for assembly
areas; and an addition and rearrangement for accessible dwelling and sleeping
units. These new criteria are intended to provide a level of coordination
between the accessible provisions of this standard and the Fair Housing
Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
The ICC/ANSI A117.1-2003 Standard is intended for adoption by government
agencies and by organizations setting model codes to achieve uniformity in the
technical design criteria in building codes and other regulations.
