Where the access space is integral to the ICT, allows a parallel approach and has an obstruction which is integral to the ICT, the height of the obstruction should be less than 865 mm (34 inches). Where the depth of the obstruction is greater than 255 mm (10 inches) and 610 mm (24 inches) maximum, the high side reach to all essential controls should be no higher than 1 170 mm (46 inches) above the floor of the access space. This is shown in Figure 11 (b).

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. There is an obstacle integral to the ICT with a height less than 865 mm.
  4. The side reach is obstructed by a part more than 255 mm and less than 610 mm wide.
Procedure
  1. Check that the height of the topmost essential control is no higher than 1170 mm above the floor contact of the ICT.
Result If check 1 is true then this recommendation is followed.
