CSA B651.1-09:2015 pdf download.Accessible design for automated banking machines
1.1 CSA B651.1-09 specifies accessibility requirements for automated banking machines (ABMs) and ABM sites.
Note: While the purpose of this Standard is to make ABMs or their environment more accessible, there might be some people with disabilities who have requirements beyond the scope of this Standard.
1.4 This Standard does not specify the application of technical requirements.
Note: The extent to which technical requirements are applied is the responsibility of others, such as the authority having jurisdiction.
1.5 In CSA Standards,“shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard;“should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required;“may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and “Can”is used to express possibility or capability. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
1.6 This Standard is written in SI (metric) units and, where converted from imperial units, the units have been rounded off with respect to critical dimension.
4.2.2 Signs
Information on signs shall comply with CAN/CSA-B651.
Note: In order to facilitate finding accessible ABMs, signage pertaining to ABMs should be located at decision-making locations (exterior or interior, or both) and should include the International Symbol of Access, if applicable.
5.1 General
Lighting shall conform to CAN/CSA-B651.
Notes:
(1) Lighting at a level of 100 to 200 lx should be adequate for safe mobility and should provide good visibility.
(2) If fluorescent lights are used, the hum that is sometimes present can create interference problems for persons using hearing aids.
Maintenance programs should ensure that the lights are changed as soon as the hum occurs.
(3) Lighting should be designed to avoid misleading shadows and to highlight obstacles such as stairs, curbs, and ramps. The goal is to provide a consistent pattern and level of light in the absence of natural light.
5.3 ABM interface panel
The interface panel of the ABM shall be illuminated at a minimum level of 200 lx.
Notes:
(1) Lighting on the interface of the ABM should be carefully designed to preserve high contrast on the screen and to avoid glare and reflections for both seated and standing users.
(2) Illuminated signs on the face of the ABM should be designed so that they do not interfere with the viewing of the screen.CSA B651.1-09 pdf download.
