ADAAG had defined what is an accessible sink 4.24.4 Depth. Each sink shall be a maximum of 6-1/2 in (165 mm) deep.

ADA Accessibility Guidelines

I do not find anything like this with A117.1 or ADA-SAD.

It only defines thinks like height, knee clearance, clearance, reach etc.

But I do not see anything else.

So does this mean there really isn't an accessible sink (think all of those various wall hungs you have seen)?
 
I would reference the 2010 ADA-SAD for new construction, rather than the 2002 Ed. you have linked. Is you jurisdiction still under 2002?

I think what lunatick is saying is they took the "depth" out of the new standards.

And that is correct, they did
