8.3.3.2.2: Unobstructed low side reach

Where the access space is integral to the ICT, allows a parallel approach, and the side reach is unobstructed or obstructed by an element integral to the ICT which is less than 255 mm (10 inches), all essential controls should be within a low side reach which is greater than or equal to 380 mm (15 inches) above the floor of the access space. This is shown in Figure 10.

Testing methods

Type of compliance Inspection and measurement
Pre-conditions
  1. The access space is integral to the ICT.
  2. A parallel approach to the ICT is possible.
  3. The side reach is unobstructed or obstructed by a part less than 255 mm wide.
Procedure
