Required Compliance [§F210] Stairways [§504] Handrails [§504.6, §505] Common Questions
This guide explains requirements in the ABA Standards for stairways. Required Compliance [§F210]
Escalators The ABA Standards address escalators in rail and fixed guideway stations (§810.9) but not those provided in other types of facilities. Escalators must have a clear width of at least 32” and meet specific provisions in the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. The referenced ASME criteria require steps to be demarcated by yellow lines 2” wide maximum along the back and sides (§6.1.3.5.6) and specify at least 2, but no more than 4, flat steps at escalator entrances and exits (§6.1.3.6.5).
