EN 301 549 - Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services 8.3.2: 8.3.2 Forward reach

Unobstructed forward reach: one or more operable parts of every type placed no higher than 1 220 mm and no lower than 380 mm above the access floor. Obstructed forward reach: clear space under an integral obstruction at least as deep as the reach over it; with an obstruction under 510 mm deep, reach no higher than 1 220 mm; from 510 mm up to 635 mm deep, no higher than 1 120 mm. Knee and toe clearance at least 760 mm wide; toe clearance (below 230 mm) up to 635 mm under the obstacle, at least 430 mm deep and no more than 150 mm beyond the obstruction at 230 mm; knee clearance (230 to 685 mm high) between 280 mm and 635 mm deep at 230 mm, at least 205 mm at 685 mm, narrowing by no more than 25 mm per 150 mm of height.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 8.3.11 8.3.11 Free space underneath stationary ICT with or without an obstruction
  • 8.3.5 8.3.5 Control location (vertical)
  • 8.3.9 8.3.9 Forward reach

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
