Effective clear width of accessible entrance doorway

An accessible entrance doorway should contain a leaf which provides an effective clear width of not less than that given in column (2) of Table 3.1. This effective clear width applies to a single leaf door or one leaf of a double leaf door. However, where a double leaf door is power operated, the effective clear width may be incorporated between both leaves provided those leaves operate simultaneously. Where a building is to be altered or undergo a material change of use and the effective clear width given in column (2) of Table 3.1 cannot be achieved, an accessible entrance doorway may contain a leaf which provides an effective clear width of not less than that given in column (3) of Table 3.1. The effective clear width of a doorway should be measured in accordance with Diagram 3.1.
