6、 the standards developer.Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected inter-ests. Substantial agreement means much more than a sim-ple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consens

7、us requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely vol-untary; their existence does not in any respect preclude any-one, whether he or she has approved the standards or not, from m

8、anufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using prod-ucts, processes, or procedures not conforming to the stan-dards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpreta-tion of any American National Standard. Moreover, no per-son shall

9、have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this stan-dard. CAUTION NOTICE: Thi

10、s American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this stan-dard.

In addition, it does not containrequirements necessary for conformance to the standard.)DevelopmentThe 1961 edition of ANSI Standard A117.1 presented the first criteria for accessibil-ity to be approved

13、 as an American National Standard and was the result ofresearch conducted by the University of Illinois under a grant from the Easter SealResearch Foundation. The National Easter Seal Society and the Presidents Com-mittee on Employment of People with Disabilities became members of the Secre-tariat,

14、and the 1961 edition was reaffirmed in 1971.In 1974, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development joined theSecretariat and sponsored needed research, which resulted in the 1980 edition.After further revision that included a special effort to remove application criteria(scoping requirements)

15、, the 1986 edition was published and, when requested in1987, the Council of American Building Officials (CABO) assumed the Secretariat.Central to the intent of the change in the Secretariat was the development of astandard that, when adopted as part of a building code, would be compatible withthe bu

16、ilding code and its enforcement. The 1998 edition largely achieved that goal.The 2009 edition of the standard is the latest example of the A117.1 committeeseffort to continue developing a standard that is compatible with the building code.(When CABO was consolidated into the International Code Counc

17、il (ICC) in 1998,the Secretariat duties were assumed by ICC.)2009 EditionNew to the 2009 edition are coordinated criteria for the various types of dwellingunits that provide a step-down between the unit types; technical requirements forType C (Visitable) Units; Variable Message Signs (i.e., signs th

19、ment, etc.); a new chapter for a variety of typesof recreational facilities; an index and margin markings that will help users findrequirements and identify changes from the 2003 edition. In addition, the new stan-dard continued to provide a level of coordination between the accessible provisionsof
