REQUIREMENTS FOR

ACCESSIBLE TOILETS

DIN 18040-2 only specifies the requirements for wheelchair-compatible toilets and the necessary

operating elements. The installation of a raised floor-standing toilet is recommended for those not

dependent upon a wheelchair; this type of toilet makes it much easier to stand up and sit down.
