ADA Compliance Checklist
If you’re taking the first steps toward ADA compliance, here are some essential components to keep in mind:
- Tactile Text and Braille: Raised, easy-to-read text and Grade 2 Braille are required on ADA signs. The Braille dots must be domed and positioned correctly beneath the tactile characters.
- Color Contrast: The sign’s background and characters must have a strong contrast. Generally, a contrast ratio of 70% or more between the text and background colors is recommended.
- Non-Glare Finish: Both background and characters should be non-glare, particularly for signs in locations with strong lighting.
- Mounting Height: Signs with tactile elements should be mounted 48 to 60 inches from the floor to the center of the sign for easy reachability.
- Readable Fonts: Fonts must be simple and sans-serif, avoiding any decorative or complex styles that could be hard to interpret.
