I am starting the audit and want to know if I am using the correct

standards for pre-March 10, 2012.

I have a copy of the 28 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 36,

Revised as of July 1, 1994.

Is this an acceptable standard to use?

Thanks for any input!

I am starting the audit and want to know if I am using the correct

standards for pre-March 10, 2012.

I have a copy of the 28 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 36,

Revised as of July 1, 1994.

Is this an acceptable standard to use?

Thanks for any input!

State and local government facilities must follow the requirements of both the Title II regulations at 28 CFR 35.151; and the 2004 ADAAG at 36 CFR part 1191, appendices B and D.

In the few places where requirements between the two differ, the requirements of 28 CFR 35.151 prevail

Safe harbor. If a public entity has constructed or altered required elements of a path of travel in accordance with the specifications in either the 1991 Standards or the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards before March 15, 2012, the public entity is not required to retrofit such elements to reflect incremental changes in the 2010 Standards solely because of an alteration to a primary function area served by that path of travel.

I too have the door pressure gauge, camera and smart level.

I also have a 25’ ADA measuring tape. It has information printed on the tape regarding ADA settings, heights etc. Grainger use to have them but they do not carry them anymore. The link is a picture of one.

No one mentioned the ADA Door Threshold tool. You can get a print from Evan Terry Associates (205) 972-9100 or order their hard flexible tool. http://www.evanterry.com/shop.asp?catID=17385

In my truck is a smart level for ADA for egress ramps/pathways, and 150ft. Tape, moisture meter, torpedo level, pliers, utility knife, heavy stapler, large Maglite, a spare mutli-screwdriver, flashlight, a water-pressure gauge, and 25' Code tape. In my vest I carry several pens & markers, a pocket level, pocket digital thermometer, on-contact voltage tester, a GFCI Outlet Tester, xeon mini-mini-flashlight, a door gauge, multi-screwdriver, ear plugs, and tyvek booties. But the most important tool I carry is a pocket-sized Digital Camera. (currently using Sony DSC-T200).
