Ontario Building Code Practice Exam

Which of the following is not a requirement for an accessible route in a commercial building?

1. Ramped approach

2. Level landings at changes of direction

3. Minimum width of 1.2 meters

4. Non-slip surface

The correct answer is: Minimum width of 1.2 meters

The minimum width for an accessible route in a commercial building is 1.5 meters, not 1.2 meters as stated in option C. This is to allow enough space for individuals using wheelchairs or other mobility aids to navigate comfortably. Option A, ramped approach, is a requirement and refers to the slope of a ramp being no steeper than 112. Option B, level landings at changes of direction, is also a requirement to ensure the safety and accessibility of the route. Option D, non-slip surface, is also a requirement for an accessible route in order to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of individuals using the route. Therefore, option C is the only incorrect requirement for an accessible route in a commercial building.
