What does 12 require?

Any door along an access path must not present a barrier to independent travel, though direct assistance may be given through security check points. Doorways and doors in premises and infrastructure must comply with clause 13 of AS 1428.1 (2009). A pressure pad on a weight-activated door must detect a 15 kg assistance animal and any other sensor on an access path must detect movement between ground level and 500 mm above the path. On buses (other than dedicated school buses), coaches, ferries, trains, trams and light rail, doorways must comply with clause 13.2 of AS 1428.1 (2009); on conveyances other than buses and coaches the curved upper frame of a door on an access path may have a radius of no more than 225 mm and the lower frame no more than 50 mm; and, other than on coaches, door luminance contrast must meet clause 13.1 and fully glazed doors must carry a contrasting strip to clause 6.6 of that standard, with any contrast treatment preserving the driver's vision and meeting state visibility rules. Doorways in accessible taxis must have at least 1400 mm clear height (1500 mm for taxis entering service from 1 January 2013). Power-assisted doors must not require passengers to grip, twist or apply constant pressure to controls, and operators may give equivalent access by opening manual doors. The door of a unisex accessible toilet on trains and in premises and infrastructure must be power assisted so nobody has to push or pull it.
