In case you missed this webinar from the U.S. Access Board, the recording and handouts have recently been made available on the Accessibility Online website.

Description: Entrances and doors are key components of access along routes and to buildings, rooms, and spaces. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Standards require automatic, and power assisted doors to comply with the standards when provided on accessible routes. The ADA and ABA Standards reference industry standards developed under protocols of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and published by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA).

This session covers the scoping and technical requirements in the ADA and ABA Standards for entrances and doors when they are automatic, or power assisted. Presenters will review in detail the specifications in the ANSI/BHMA referenced standards that address operating characteristics, including opening speed, safety features, sensors and activation devices, labeling, among others.
