Scoping [4.1.3(13)]
ADAAG covers elements that are fixed or built-in, including those bolted to floors or walls. Compliance is recommended for freestanding equipment, such as vending machines. Controls and operating mechanisms intended for use only by employees for job-related tasks are not required to comply (although compliance will help accommodate employees). The following life safety elements illustrate the coverage of this section:
| element | compliance |
| alarm pull stations | required as fixed element for common use by building occupants |
| fire extinguisher cabinets | required for the fixed portion (cabinet); recommended for the non-fixed portion (extinguisher) where possible |
| alarm command stations | not required since they are used only by employees or trained emergency personnel |
