However, in a factory situation with fixedmachinery, actual operator numbers may be acceptableas the occupant load.12.0.2 Building size may also be used todetermine the need for a lift for people withdisabilities. NZS 4121 is an acceptable solutionbased on gross floor area.Appendix C: Delete and replace with:“Accessible car parking spaces shall beprovided on the scale of:1 for up to 10 total spaces provided2 for up to 100 total spaces providedplus 1 more for every additional 50 spaceswhen car parks are provided in orassociated with a building whichis accessible.”Amend 5Oct 201111.0 Other Acceptable Solutions11.0.1 Accessible routes – The accessprovisions of NZS 4121 are an acceptablesolution for accessible routes, but may exceedthe requirements of NZBC D1.11.0.2 Commercial vehicles – AS 2890:Part 2 is an acceptable solution for loadingspaces and circulation routes for commercialvehicles, but may exceed the requirements ofNZBC D1.11.0.3 Access routes for service andmaintenance personnel – NZS/AS 1657 isan acceptable solution for fixed platforms,walkways, stairways, and ladders, but provisionsmay exceed the requirements of NZBC D1.4610 October 2011Amend 4Jul 2001D E PA R T M E N T O F B U I L D I N G A N D H O U S I N GAmend 4Jul 2001
