The principal of ensuring buildings are accessible to able and less able people alike is manifest in Approved Document M (Now part of the Equality Act 2010) of the Building Regulations and with further guidance in BS 8300 which contains specific dimensional information for certain items of architectural hardware. The disabled symbol is used throughout our product documentation to show which conform to the requirements of Approved Document M (Now part of the Equality Act 2010) and are therefore appropriate for use in DDA applications.
