        6.6 Visual indicators on glazing
        Where there is no chair rail, handrail or transom, all frameless or fully glazed doors,
        sidelights, including any glazing capable of being mistaken for a doorway or
A1
        opening, shall be clearly marked for their full width with a solid and non-transparent
        contrasting line. The contrasting line shall be not less than 75 mm wide and shall
        extend across the full width of the glazing panel. The lower edge of the contrasting
        line shall be located between 900 mm and 1000 mm above the plane of the finished
        floor level.
        Any contrasting line on the glazing shall provide a minimum of 30% luminance
        contrast when viewed against the floor surface or surfaces within 2 m of the glazing
        on the opposite side.
          NOTE: For method of testing luminance contrast, see Appendix B.

        7 FLOOR OR GROUND SURFACES ON CONTINUOUS ACCESSIBLE PATHS OF
        TRAVEL AND CIRCULATION SPACES
        7.1 General
        A continuous accessible path of travel and any circulation spaces shall have a
        slip-resistant surface. The texture of the surface shall be traversable by people who
        use a wheelchair and those with an ambulant or sensory disability.
        7.2 Construction tolerances for abutment of surfaces
        Abutment of surfaces shall have a smooth transition. Design transition shall be
        0 mm. Construction tolerances shall be as follows:
        (a)    0 ±3 mm vertical, as shown in Figure 6(a).
        (b)    0 ±5 mm, provided the edges have a bevelled or rounded edge to reduce the
               likelihood of tripping, as shown in Figure 6(b).
        Tolerances for raked joint pavers shall be as shown in Figure 7.
