Tactile compliance documents: product data versus route approval

BULDX product guides2 min read

Keep product documentation separate from the approval of the complete accessible route. A catalogue entry cannot establish compliance with every national or project requirement.

APPLICATION ILLUSTRATIONAI-generated application illustration for this guide. Not a completed BULDX project or an installation drawing.

Selection considerations

Request pattern dimensions, material, installation instructions and relevant performance evidence for the selected item. Identify the applicable jurisdiction and project specification with the responsible designer. Do not describe the two BULDX tactile products as universally certified when the records do not establish that claim.

The U.S. Access Board provides official accessibility references for U.S. applications, including detectable warnings. Other projects need their own applicable requirements. Retain the approved layout and document references alongside the product schedule so procurement, installation and maintenance use the same basis.

Before you specify or order

  • Identify the applicable project requirements
  • Request selected-product evidence
  • Retain the approved route layout

Common question

Does a tactile category mean universal compliance?

No. The selected product and complete route must be reviewed for the applicable requirements.
