We need your help

At BSI British Standards we want to hear your views on this Draft for Public Comment (DPC) before it is launched as a British Standard (BS).

This British Standard explains how the built environment can be designed to anticipate, and overcome, restrictions that prevent disabled people making full use of premises and their surroundings.  The guidance in this standard covers a wide range of disabilities and the use of the built environment by disabled people who can be residents, visitors, spectators, customers, employees, or participants in sports events, performances and conferences.

Your comments on this draft are welcome and will assist in the preparation of the consequent British Standard.  If no comments are received to the contrary, this draft may be implemented unchanged as a British Standard.

Please note this draft is NOT the FINAL version of BS 8300. This document is a draft for public comment and its contents may be subject to change. It is NOT a British Standard until it has been published as such.

Click here to download your copy of BS 8300 in large print and a comment form to send us your feedback.

The closing date for feedback is 31 July 2008.
