  • Maximum length: 9.00 meters
  • Maximum slope: 10% for sections up to 3.00 meters, 8% for sections up to 9.00 meters
  • Maximum transverse slope: 2%
  • Landings: Same width as the ramp, minimum depth of 1.50 meters
  • Handrails: On both sides of the ramp
  • Obstacle-free space: 1.50 meters minimum at the beginning and end of the ramp
