THE BUILDING REGULATIONS

THE DISABLED RAMP REGULATIONS FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS

Correctly specifying access to public buildings in line with ramp building regulations. 

The regulations for ramp and stepped access can be found in Document M Volume 2, Document K and British Standards 8300-1:2018. 

All options shown below are requirements of the regulations.

The minimum width of a ramped approach is 1500mm, and the gradient is 1:15 (Doc M. Vol 2. Page 19. 1.26e / BS8300-1. Page 41).

Level Landings (Rest Platforms)

Once the maximum ramp length has been achieved, you should provide a level landing to allow the user to rest.

The minimal length of a level platform is 1500mm (Doc M. Vol 2. Page 20h / Doc. K 2.13b / BS8300-1. Page 41).

The maximum ramp length for the gradients can be found in the diagram below (Doc M. Vol 2. Page 19 Table 1 / BS8300-1. Page 40).

The minimum step width is 1500mm (Doc M. Vol 2. Page 19 1.26e / BS8300-1. Page 36).

Infill on step unit

The minimum handrail height for a level platform is 1100mm (Doc K. Page 24. Diagram 3.1. / BS8300-1. Page 42).

If the ramp height exceeds 380mm, Infill handrails are required to prevent users from climbing or falling through gaps.
