What is the recommended range of height for a manual switch for PWD use?

The recommended range of height for a manual switch intended for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) use is generally identified as being between 1.2 meters and 1.3 meters. This height range is designed to ensure accessibility for individuals who may utilize wheelchairs or have limited mobility. It enables easy reach for users without requiring them to stretch or strain, thereby promoting safety and independence.

This specification aligns with accessibility guidelines that emphasize the importance of integrating user-friendly features in public and private buildings. The height ensures that the switch is within a comfortable reach for most people, including those who are seated. Adhering to this guideline aids in creating an inclusive environment that accommodates everyone’s needs.
