KioskTerminals Kiosks and ADA Compliancy

When you deploy a kiosk, you want to make the kiosk be accessible to as many people as possible, and you want to construct your kiosks according to the laws in your country.

There is no ADA guideline in existence today that deals specifically with kiosks. The most relevant guideline that exists is that for ATM's and is outlined in section 4.34 of the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Sections 4.34.2 and 4.34.3 of this guideline specifically address the floor space and reach range requirements for ATM compliance.

All KT kiosks, when located such that a parallel wheelchair approach to the kiosk is possible, can meet the ADA reach and height guidelines for ATM's. (See the Note below for Floor Space Requirements.)

The ADA reach and height specifications are shown in Table 1. to the right.

Look at the first row of dimensions. In this example, the ADA guidelines stipulate that if the reach depth to operable parts of all controls is less than 10 inches (225mm), then the highest point on the structure that requires user interaction must not be greater than 54 inches (1370mm) from the floor.

This is illustrated in Figure 1. to the right: the distance from the floor to the highest point requiring user interaction (top of the touch screen) is 54 inches (1370mm), and the reach depth from the the most forward part of the kiosk to the top of the touch screen is 10 inches (225mm) or less.

Is Your Touchscreen Deeper than 10" (225mm)?
If the distance from the front of the kiosk to the top of the touchscreen is required to be deeper than 10 inches (225mm), you can use Table 1. to find the maximum allowable height of the top of the touchscreen. For example, if the top of the touch screen is 20 inches (510mm) from the most forward part of the kiosk, the height is limited to a maximum of 48.5 inches (1230mm).
 Lowest Limit

If your kiosk has peripherals, such as printer outlets, that are positioned low on the face of the kiosk, the lowest allowable height is 9 inches (230mm) from the finished floor.

The text of the applicable ADA guidelines is presented below for your reference:
4.34.3 Reach Ranges.
(2) Parallel Approach Only:  If only a parallel approach is possible, operable parts of controls shall be placed as follows:
 
(a) Reach Depth Not More Than 10 inches (255mm). Where the reach depth to the operable parts of all controls as measured from the vertical plane perpendicular to the edge of the unobstructed clear floor space at the farthest protrusion of the automated teller machine or surround is not more than 10 inches (255mm), the maximum height above the finished floor or grade shall be 54 inches (1370mm).
 
(b) Reach Depth More Than 10 in (255 mm). Where the reach depth to the operable parts of any control as measured from the vertical plane perpendicular to the edge of the unobstructed clear floor space at the farthest protrusion of the automated teller machine or surround is more than 10 in (255 mm), the maximum height above the finished floor or grade shall be as follows: [See Table above]

Note: Floor Space Requirements. It is the responsibility of the retailer to provide adequate floor space in the vicinity of the Kiosk to accommodate wheelchair users. Floor space requirements are outlined in section 4.2.4 of the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
