Should disability access certificates be applied before construction?

Are Disability Access Certificates a legal requirement?

Disability Access Certificates (DAC) are a legal requirement in Ireland. Under the Building Control Act 1990 (as amended) and the Building Regulations, any new building or specific material alterations to existing buildings must obtain a Disability Access Certificate. The local building control authority issues the Disability Access Certificate and confirms that the building design and layout comply with the accessibility requirements of Part M of the Building Regulations.

 

This certification ensures that buildings are accessible to individuals with disabilities, promoting equal access and inclusion. Failure to obtain a DAC can result in non-compliance with building regulations and potential legal consequences. It is crucial to adhere to these requirements to ensure accessibility and compliance with the law in Ireland.
