Additional guidance is provided in Approved Document M when external ramped access also forms part of the principal entrances and alternative accessible entrances, and when they form part of the access route to the building from the boundary of the site and car parking. See Approved Document M Section 1 (for buildings other than dwellings) and Section 6 (for dwellings). Appearance of rampsFor buildings other than dwellings2.2 Ensure that ramps are readily apparent or clearly signposted.Steepness of rampsFor all buildings2.3 Ensure that the relationship between the gradient of a ramp and its going between landings is as shown in Diagram 2.1. NOTE: A floor level with a gradient of 1:20 or steeper should be designed as a ramp.
