What this ADA sign preflight checks
The checker covers contracted braille, dot shape and dimensions, cell and line spacing, separation from tactile text and borders, vertical mounting range, and basic door-side location. It uses the federal 2010 ADA Standards as a baseline.
It does not certify a sign or replace state and local code review, physical measurement, fabrication quality control, installation inspection, or review by the authority having jurisdiction.
ADA braille sign requirements
Do ADA signs require Grade 2 braille?
The 2010 ADA Standards require signs to use braille that complies with the applicable code, and contracted (Grade 2) braille is the standard expected for permanent room and space signs. This checker translates sign copy to contracted UEB Grade 2 for preflight review.
What are the ADA requirements for braille letter height?
The 2010 ADA Standards specify a braille dot height of 0.025 to 0.037 inches, a dot base diameter of 0.059 to 0.063 inches, and cell spacing requirements. The checker validates measurable braille dimensions and spacing inputs against these baselines.
Do elevator signs need braille?
Yes. Elevator car controls and adjacent floor designations are among the signs covered by ADA accessibility requirements. Use this checker to preflight elevator sign copy and braille before fabrication.
Does this checker certify a sign as ADA compliant?
No. It is a preflight tool for measurable inputs. Certification requires physical measurement, fabrication quality control, installation inspection and review by the authority having jurisdiction.
