When objects protrude into the interaction space, like shoes in a praying room entrance,
paper bin in the toilet’s lateral approach space, or other similar cases, the interaction
space can be marked with a carpet or painting as shown in the following illustration:

5.6. Changes in level and guardrails
Guardrails must be at least 1100 mm height. This parameter is measured vertically from
the ground level, to the highest point of the guardrail.
The guardrails must have sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand a horizontal
uniformly distributed force of 3.0 kN/m.
The guardrails cannot be easily climbable.
Openings on guardrails shall not allow a 100 mm diameter sphere to pass through.
When guardrails are installed to protect slopes, they must have a continuous base in
their entire length from the floor surface to a minimum height of 100 mm.
