F3.2B—Turning space and circulation space for a washbasin

Figure F3.2C—Turning space and circulation space for changing rails
        Notes to Figures F3.2A, F3.2B and F3.2C:
 (a) The Roman numerals shown in Figures F3.2A, F3.2B, and F3.2C indicate the following required circulation spaces:
 (i) turning space—a full circle of 1,125 mm radius;
 (ii) each side of the pan—900 mm (measured from each edge of the pan);
 (iii) in front of the pan—2,350 mm (measured from the wall behind the pan, and therefore includes the pan itself);
 (iv) for a washbasin—the width of the basin (450 mm) increasing to a width of 1,350 mm measured at a distance of 750 mm out from the wall against which the washbasin is mounted then continuing at that width for a further 800 mm (to a total of 1,550 mm out from the wall);
 (v) for changing rails—the width of the rails increased to a width of 1,350 mm at a distance of 750 mm out from the wall to which the rails are fixed then continuing at that width for a further 800 mm (to a total of 1,550 mm out from the wall).
 (b) All required circulation spaces must extend for a minimum height of 2,000 mm above finished floor level.
 (c) Required circulation spaces may be overlapped.
 (d) The floor surface must have a slip resistance classification of not less than R10 or P3 when tested in accordance with AS 4586.

F3.3  Hoist
  The hoist must:
 (a) provide a constant charge in-line room coverage hoist system (also known as an "XY" system or gantry) including 2 parallel fixed rails and a moving traverse rail; and
 (b) provide coverage over the entire room; and
 (c) have a maximum safe working load of not less than 180 kg; and
 (d) be capable of sustaining a static load of not less than 1.5 times the rated load; and
 (e) have a minimum lifting height of 2,100 mm.

F3.4  Toilet pan, seat, backrest and grabrails
 (1) The toilet pan must be of the centrally located ("peninsula-type") design.
 (2) The toilet pan must be installed so that:
 (a) the front edge of the pan is 800 mm (±10 mm) from the rear wall; and
 (b) the top of the seat is between 460 mm and 480 mm above finished floor level; and
 (c) there is a minimum clearance of 900 mm, measured horizontally, between each side of the pan and any adjacent wall or privacy screen.
 (3) The toilet seat must:
 (a) be of the full-round type (not open-fronted) with minimal contours to the top surface; and
 (b) be securely fixed in position when in use; and
 (c) have seat fixings that provide lateral stability to the seat
