Stair barriers in areas likely to be frequently used by children under six years of age require no gaps larger than 100mm and 150mm in the stair tread. Balustrade geometry shall follow the dimensions illustrated barriers in figure 3.3 (Example of barrier geometries).

B2.3 - Keston balustrade element "Balustrade" must have a durability requirement of no less than 50 years. 

D1.1.7.1 - Keston balustrade prevents falling from access routes and complies with NZBC F4

D1.2.3.1 - Keston balustrade lower rail height is adjusted to where the surface of an accessible route is more than 25 mm above the adjacent ground to provide protection from falling.

D1.6.0.6 - Keston balustrade top rail is used as a handrail is applications where required, the height of the rail is situated between 900mm and 1000mm above the pitch line/FFL.

D1.6.0.9 - Keston balustrade handrail options come in a range of sizes and provide acceptable profiles for accessible stairways and ramps.

F4.1.1 - Keston balustrade adheres to the minimum barrier heights (F4/AS1 Table 1) in the respective area installed

F4.1.2.1 - Keston balustrade aligns with the barrier height and geometry as set out in Table 1, Figure 2, figure 3 and figure 4. The barrier design ensures that, anywhere over the full height of the barrier, a 100 mm diameter sphere cannot pass through. In applications where the barrier is on a staircase or similar application, The triangular opening formed by the riser, tread, and bottom rail of the barrier on a stair shall be of such a size that a 150 mm diameter sphere cannot pass through it.

F4.1.2.2 - In areas used exclusively for emergency or maintenance purposes in buildings, and in other buildings not frequented by children, barriers may have openings with maximum dimensions of either: 300mm horizontally between vertical balustrade members or 460mm vertically between longitudinal rails.

F4.1.2.3 - Keston style shall adhere to the acceptable methods of the construction of rail barriers in conjunction with parapets so they are not readily available to be used as seats, as required by Clause F4.3.4(h) for buildings other than housing.
