According to the standard, "the specifications in this standard make buildings and facilities accessible to and usable by people with such physical disabilities and the inability to walk, difficulty walking, reliance on walking aids, blindness and visual impairment, deafness and hearing impairment, in coordination, reaching and manipulation disabilities, lack of stamina, difficulty interpreting and reacting to sensory information, and extremes of physical size based generally upon adult dimensions. This standard provides specifications for elements that are used in making functional spaces accessible."
This 1998 standard has been developed to work in harmony with federal accessibility laws. Sections with expanded requirements include elevators, signs, alarms and ATM's.
In addition, the unobstructed high side reach requirement has been revised, and there are new criteria for detectable warnings for platform edges.
