New Zealand Building Code (NZBC)
The product will, if employed in accordance with the supplier's installation and maintenance requirements, assist with meeting the following provisions of the building code:
- Clause B1 Structure: Performance B1.3.1, B1.3.2, B1.3.3(a), B1.3.3(b), B1.3.3(c), B1.3.3(f), B1.3.3(h), B1.3.3(j)
The required design load for ramps varies depending on the use and occupancy of the building or public space. For example, the Building Code requires a minimum design load of 2.5 kN/m² for ramps in residential buildings, while ramps in public spaces must be designed for a minimum load of 5 kN/m². The Moddex Ezibilt ramp and stair solution is designed to meet these load requirements, with a maximum load capacity of 5 kN/m². This means that the Ezibilt system is suitable for use in a variety of settings and applications, including high-traffic public spaces and industrial settings, where heavy equipment and machinery may need to be transported up and down ramps. - Clause B2 Durability: Performance B2.3.1(a)
The Ezibilt ramp & stair system is galvanized to AS 4792 and AS/NZS 4680:2006 and has a design life of 50 years. Durability is dependent on Ezibilt being installed and maintained in accordance with Moddex specifications and recommendations. Refer to Moddex Care and Maintenance Manual. - Clause D1 Access routes: Performance D1.3.1(a), D1.3.1(b), D1.3.1(c), D1.3.3(a), D1.3.3(b), D1.3.3(c), D1.3.3(d), D1.3.3(l), D1.3.3(m), D1.3.4(b), D1.3.4(d), D1.3.4(e), D1.3.4(i)
In New Zealand, ramp and stair access is regulated by the Building Code, which
sets out specific requirements for the design, construction, and installation of
ramps and stairs in buildings and public spaces.
In addition to the Building Code, the Accessibility Standard NZS 4121:2001
provides guidance on accessibility requirements for people with disabilities. This
standard specifies criteria for the design of ramps and stairs to ensure that they
are safe and accessible for people with a range of mobility impairments. Moddex Ezibilt Ramp & Stair systems have been designed, tested and
manufactured in accordance to these standards, aligning with the following
requirements:
- The approach to a ramp shall be level and allow for adequate visibility and
wheelchair turning space.
- The maximum gradient of a ramp other than a kerb or step ramp shall be 1 in
12.
- The clear width of a ramp shall be not less than 1200mm.
- Ramps require level platforms or landings at the top and bottom, wherever
there is a change in direction, where doors open off them and at intervals not
exceeding 9000mm.
- Landings shall have a minimum dimension of 1200mm.
- The surfaces of footpaths, ramps and landings on accessible routes shall be
slip-resistant with texture that is usable by all people with disabilities. Loose
gravel or clay surfaces are not acceptable.
- Accessible ramps shall have an upstand no less than 75mm in height on any
drop-off side of a ramp
