Toilet Compartments
Baby changing tables are not prohibited from being located in wheelchair accessible toilet compartments; however, the minimum space required by TAS 604.8.1.1 for the compartment cannot be obstructed by the baby changing table in either an open or closed position.
To achieve compliance with TAS for both the toilet compartment and baby changing table, it may be necessary to design the toilet compartment to exceed the minimum size requirements of TAS 604.8.1.1 as addressed in Advisory 604.8.1.1.
The clear floor space required for a baby changing table by TAS 902.2 may overlap the water closet clearance based on TAS 604.3.2 since baby changing tables are considered convenience “fixtures” based on Advisory 604.8.1.1. The overlap is applicable only to the clear floor space and not to actual table itself.
