Ambulant toilets are similar to a typical cubicle; however, they have some specific requirements that differentiate them. Here are the requirements for an ambulant toilet:
900mm x 900mm minimum clear circulation spaces are required for ambulant toilets at doorways for both inward and outward opening of airlock and cubicle doorways.
900-920mm width inside the cubicle.
Ambulant toilets should also feature accessible signage on the cubicle door.
Grab rails on each side of the ambulant toilet cubicle should be present. Each grab rail should be able to withstand a force of applied 1100N at any position.
The toilet pan should have a 610-660mm projection from the rear to the front of the toilet pan.
The toilet pan seat should have a 460-480mm height range above the finished floor level (same as an accessible toilet).
Ambulant toilets should have a toilet roll holder in an accessible position (same as an accessible toilet).
There should be a minimum clear opening of 700mm in the ambulant cubicle doorway.
The handle of the snib catches requires a minimum length of 45mm from the centre of the spindle.
There must be a coat hook within the cubicle.
Ambulant toilets should have a 45mm long privacy locking snib lock lever.
The washbasin for ambulant toilets must be outside the 900mm x 900mm circulation spaces.
