• 91.140.70 Sanitary installations

This part of BS 6465 gives recommendations for the minimum space needed to install, use and maintain sanitary appliances in most types of building.

This British Standard gives recommendations for spaces for sanitary appliances, but, although it provides some examples of dimensions of rooms or cubicles, it does not generally give minimum dimensions of the rooms in which they are installed.

NOTE 1 This is in order to provide flexibility of design using the recommendations set out in this British Standard.

The recommendations in this British Standard do not cover the space needs for sanitary appliances used by all disabled people, which are covered in BS 8300 ¹ and BS 9266.

These recommendations in this British Standard do not cover the space needs for specialist catering, medical, laboratory or cultural appliances or practices.

NOTE 2 Attention is drawn to the applicable building and water regulations.

NOTE 3 Annex A gives the minimum space needed for example room layouts and Annex B gives information on circulation space depth.

At the time of publication, BS 8300 was being prepared as BS 8300-1 and BS 8300-2.
