Security access systems shall be designed so as to meet the needs of everyone. This includes the requirements for manoeuvring space and for controls which can be reached comfortably. See B-7.9 for requirements relating to card access and keypads. Security access systems should be usable by everyone. Biometric systems (for example retinal or palm scanners) cannot accommodate all users. To negotiate the security access systems placed at building entrances, such as, airports, railway stations, metro stations, and shopping malls,
relevant rules and regulations laid down by the concerned authorities shall be followed.
NOTE — The requirements relating to card access and keypads shall be similar to those for ATMs as laid down by the concerned authorities.
