      Door controls in, or forming part of, the continuous accessible path of travel shall
      comply with the requirements of this Clause.
      13.5.2 Design and performance
      Door handles and related hardware and accessories shall comply with the following:
      (a)     The door handle and related hardware shall be of the type that allows the door
              to be unlocked and opened with one hand. The handle shall be such that the
              hand of a person who cannot grip will not slip from the handle during the
              operation of the latch.
              NOTES:
              1   Figure 35(A) shows an example of a suitable hinged door handle. Figure 35(B)
                  shows an example of a suitable door handle for sliding doors.
              2   Door handles of ‘D’ lever type provide an adequate grip for people with hand
                  impairments.
      (b)     The clearance between the handle and the back plate or door face at the
              centre grip section of the handle shall be not less than 35 mm and not more
              than 45 mm.
