Chapter 6: Plumbing Elements and Facilities Toilet Rooms
Portable Toilet Units
Where portable single user toilet units are provided, including at temporary events, access
is required to at least 5% in each cluster (213.2, Ex. 3). Compliant units must be labeled by
the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA). Portable units must meet all requirements for
toilet rooms that apply, including fixture clearances, turning space, and door maneuvering
clearances.
An accessible route and entrance are required
to serve portable units. Ramps necessary for
changes in level must fully comply, and entrance
landings must be sized to accommodate door
maneuvering clearances and ramp landings.
Compliance with all other
applicable provisions for water
closets, including those for
grab bars and clearance, is
required. Other requirements
for toilet rooms, such as door
maneuvering clearance (not
shown) and turning space also
apply.
