Handrail extensions at level changes

Handrails must extend horizontally at least 300 mm along the top and bottom landings of a ramp to warn of level changes, or the full landing length where intermediate landings are 1800 mm or less.

To give warning of a change in level i.e. the start or finish of a ramp, a handrail should extend horizontally for a distance of not less than 300 mm along the top and bottom landings of a ramp except at an intermediate landing that is not more than 1800 mm in length where it should extend the full length of the landing.
