Although the Moddex Tuffrail Handrail range meets the requirments of D1.3.3, it is not recommended for use in routes used for public access. The Moddex Tuffrail Range is designed specifically under NZS 1657 for places used by operating, inspection, maintenance and servicing personnel. Unlike the Moddex Assistrail range, the Tuffrail design features interruptions on it's top rail, rather than a continuous top-rail. Consequently, it does not align with compliance requirements for use on public access routes. (As per NZBC D1 Access Routes: Handrails shall have a profile which can be readily grasped by an adult hand (32-50mm) and are to have no obstruction to the passage of a hand along the rail).
B1 Structure & D1 Access Routes: Moddex Tuffrail Systems have been designed for barrier loading class B/E (Service & Maintenance), as set out in AS/NZS 1170.1. Tested in accordance with loadings AS/NZS 1170.1:2002 table 3.3 and AS 1657:2013 CL6.1.
