This is from Ontario Building Code:
9.8.7.4. Height of handrails
(2) Except as provided in Sentence (3), Clause 3.8.3.4.(1)(e) and Sentence 9.8.4.5A.(1), handrails shall be 865 mm to
1 070 mm high.
-----------------------------------------------------------
3.8.3.4. Ramps
(1) Ramps located in a barrier-free path of travel shall,
...
(e) except as provided in Sentence (2), be equipped with handrails on both sides that shall,
...
(ii) be not less than 865 mm and not more than 965 mm high, measured vertically from the surface of the ramp, except that handrails not meeting these requirements are permitted provided they are installed in addition to the required handrail,
-----------------------------------------------------------
I know that 9.8.7.4. was amended from 965 mm to 1070 mm in 2022, is there a reason in terms of barrier-free for 3.8.3.4.(1).(e) (ii) not being changed to be consistent with 9.8.7.4.?
