Undefined TermsScoping: 106Slide8

The meaning of terms not specifically defined in 106.5 or in regulations issued by TDLR to implement Chapter 469, or in referenced standards, are as defined by collegiate dictionaries in the sense that the context implies.

106.3 Undefined Terms

The following terms are not defined in TAS, therefore, based on 106.3, they shall have the following meanings:Slide9

Excerpt fromThese terms are used interchangeably.A small kitchen or alcove containing cooking facilities.

Kitchen

Kitchenette

A place (as a room) with cooking facilities.Slide10

Cooking FacilitiesExcerpt fromRange Oven

CooktopMicrowave OvenConvection Oven

This term is not defined in collegiate dictionaries, however,

“Cook” means “To prepare food for eating especially by means of heat.” Therefore, based on this definition and input from the U.S. Access Board, cooking facilities shall include the following:Slide11

Wet BarA bar for mixing drinks that contains only a sink with running water.A bar used for purposes other than drink preparation is not a wet bar.Slide12

ScopeScoping: 201.1Fixed or Built-InSlide13

201.1 ScopeThese standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings…Slide14

Since TAS only applies to fixed or built-in elements based on 201.1, the “cooking facilities” provided in a space must be fixed or built-in for the space to be considered a kitchen or kitchenette. The following is the criteria to be used when determining if an appliance is fixed or built-in: Slide15

FixedThe appliance is attached to a cabinet, shelf, or other surfaces or to a gas supply. The cabinetry design or location of utilities (i.e. gas supply or 220V electrical outlet) creates a dedicated shelf or space for the appliance.The following are examples of fixed and built-in cooking facilities:

Built-InSlide16

Fixed Microwave Ovens

Attached to Shelf

Attached to CabinetSlide17

Built-In Microwave OvensCabinetry design and location of electrical outlet creates dedicated space for the microwave oven.Slide18

Built-In Convection Oven Cabinetry design and location of 220V outlet creates a dedicated space for the convection oven.Slide19

These microwaves are NOT built-in or fixed.Slide20

Fixed and Built-In Ranges

Cabinetry design and location of electrical and gas outlets create a dedicated space for the range.Slide21

Fixed Gas RangeAttached to a Gas SupplySlide22

Fixed or Built-in CooktopAppliance is attached and the cabinetry design and location of electrical outlet creates a dedicated space for the cooktop.Slide23

SUMMARYSlide24

Spaces With Fixed or Built-In Cooking FacilitiesThe space must comply with 212 and 804 if at least one of the following fixed or built-in cooking facilities is provided:

Range Oven

CooktopMicrowave OvenConvection OvenSlide25

The space is not required to comply with 212 and 804 if no fixed or built-in cooking facilities are provided.

Spaces

Without

Fixed or Built-In Cooking FacilitiesHowever, the space must still

comply with applicable provisions of TAS.Slide26

Example: NOT a KitchenThis space has no fixed or built-in cooking facilitiesSlide27

Not a Kitchen: Compliance Requirements5% of the sinks must comply with 606 based on 212.3.At least one of each type of storage must comply with 309 based on 225.2.

Operable parts must comply with 309 based on 205.Compliance with TAS is based on the elements provided.

Example: Typical requirements for spaces that are not kitchensSlide28

Counter HeightNot a KitchenExcerpt fromNo counter height requirement (except at

a sink) for spaces that are not kitchens since 804.3.2 is applicable only to work surfaces in residential and transient lodging kitchens.

Example:

Storage and operable parts must comply but not the counter height.Slide29

Scope, Contd.Scoping: 201.1How Many?Slide33

201.1 ScopeThese requirements (TAS) are to be applied to all areas of a facility:Unless exempted* or Where scoping limits the number of multiple elements required to be accessible.

*

Exemptions are identified in Rule 68.30 and TAS 203 and will not be discussed during this presentation. Slide34

Common and public use spaces (defined below) such as break rooms and classroom kitchens are not exempted by Rule 68.30 or TAS 203.How does 201.1 apply to common and public use spaces?Common Use: …spaces made available for the shared use of two or more people. (106.5.21).

Public Use: …spaces in privately or publically owned buildings that are made available to the public. (106.5.50). Slide35

In addition, the scoping for kitchens (noted below) does not limit the number of common or public use kitchens required to be accessible.Where provided, kitchens, kitchenettes, and sinks shall comply with 212. (212.1).Therefore, 100% of all common and public use kitchens must be accessible.Slide36

The following slides identify additional entities that must comply with 804 (Kitchens and Kitchenettes).Slide37

Social Service Establishments (See 224.1, Exception 2)Graduate Student and Faculty Housing (See 224.6, Exception 3)Crew Quarters for Emergency Response Personnel (See RAS Bulletin 2012-04)

Residential Facilities

Residential facilities include the following:Slide39

809 Residential Dwelling UnitsExcerpt from

809.3 Kitchen. Where a kitchen is provided, it shall comply with 804.Slide40

Accessible work surface is required based on 804.3 (optional in other types of kitchens but recommended except in housing at a place of education based on 224.6 Exception 1).Knee and toe spaces under sinks and work surfaces can contain cabinetry if the exception criteria of 606.3(2) and 804.3.1 are met.

Major Differences Between Kitchens in Residential Facilities & Other Kitchens804.3 and the referenced exceptions will be discussed later in the presentation.Slide41

804.2.2 U-Shaped Kitchen In U-shaped kitchens enclosed on three contiguous sides, clearance between all opposing base cabinets, counter tops, appliances, or walls within kitchen work areas shall be 60” minimum.Slide61

EXAMPLE: Knee and toe clearance at base of “T”.60” front of “T” shall always be unobstructed.ArmBase

Acceptable: The 30” clear floor space for the work surface can be used as part of a T-shape turning space, if the clear floor space is increased to 36” (809.2.2 Advisory).Slide62

Unacceptable: Both clearances cannot be used under the work surface and the sink, as part of a T-shape turning space, since the knee and toe clearance is permitted only: At the end of the base or One arm.

(see 809.2.2 and 304.3.2) Slide63

A forward approach requires 6” of additional maneuvering clearance when the clear floor space is located in an alcove deeper than 24” (305.7.1). Clear Floor Space in Alcoves

If, therefore, the

counter depth is more than 24”, the clear floor space must be 36” min. in lieu of 30” min. (305.7.1).

Obstructed High Reach: 10” ObstructionFigure 308.3.2 (a) shows wheelchair user reach of 48” maximum when the counter is at 34” maximum and the depth of the counter is 10” maximum (308.3.2).

48 max

This scenario is unlikely due to the depth of base

cabinets.Slide100

Obstructed High Reach: 24” ObstructionFigure 308.3.2(b) shows the upper reach lowered to 46” maximum when the counter top is 34” maximum but the depth of the counter exceeds 10” (24” maximum) (308.3.2).

46 max

This scenario is will apply the most often due to the depth of base

Conclusion:

If a

subject kitchen

or kitchenette is provided (including those provided in a space used as a break room), it

must comply with 804 based on 212.2.Slide127

all sinks provided in a kitchen or kitchenette.)

The scoping for sinks that are not

provided in kitchens or kitchenettes is in 212.3.(Requires at least 5%, but not fewer than one of each type to comply with 606.)Slide129

Summary – Kitchen SinkRange OvenCooktopMicrowave OvenConvection Oven

A parallel approach is allowed by 606.2 with a kitchen that has a fixed or built-in oven, microwave, or convection oven. Slide131

The space without fixed or built-in cooking facilities is not considered a kitchen or kitchenette, therefore, the sink provided in these space is not considered a “kitchen” sink.”
