4.8.1	Ramps:	Does each part of an accessible route with a slope greater than 1:20 comply with 4.8 (See below)? (For curb ramps use Form 4: Curb Ramps)
4.8.2	Running Slope:	Is the ramp slope 1:12 or less?
	Maximum Rise:	Is the rise for any run a maximum of 30 inches?
4.8.6	Cross Slope:	Is the cross slope of the ramp surface no greater than 1:50?
4.8.6; 4.5	Surface:	Is the ramp surface stable, firm and slip-resistant?
	Grates:	Is the smaller dimension of grate openings no more than 1/2 inch, and are long dimensions of rectangular gaps placed perpendicular to the usual direction of travel?
4.8.3	Clear Width:	Is the clear width (between handrails) of the ramp at least 36 inches? 4.8.4LandingsIs there a level landing at the top and bottom of each ramp and each ramp run?
	Size:	Is each landing at least as wide as the ramp and at least 60 inches long?
		Where the ramp changes direction, is there a landing of at least 60 by 60 inches?
	Landings with Doors:	If a doorway is located on a landing, does the area in front of the door comply with the maneuvering space requirements for doors? (Use Form 11: Doors and Gates)
4.8.7	Edge Protection:	If a ramp or landing has a drop off, does it have a minimum 2 inch curb, a wall, railings, or projecting surfaces which prevent people from falling off?
4.8.8	Drainage:	Are outside ramps and their approaches designed so that water will not accumulate on walking surfaces?
4.8.5	Handrails:	If the ramp rises more than 6 inches or is longer than 72 inches, does it have a handrail on each side? (Handrails are not required on curb ramps or adjacent to seating in assembly areas.)
		On dogleg or switchback ramps, is the inside handrail continuous?
	Gripping Surface:	Are the gripping surfaces continuous?
	Mounting:	Are handrails fixed so that they do not rotate within their fittings?
	Height:	Is the top of the handrail between 34 and 38 inches above the ramp surface?
	Handrail Extension:	At ends of handrails, are there at least 12 inches of handrail, parallel to the floor or ground surface, extending beyond the top and bottom of the ramp segment?
	Ends of Handrails:	Are the ends of handrails rounded or returned smoothly to the floor, wall, or post?
4.8.5 4.26.2		Diameter: Is the diameter of the handrail between 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 inches? OR Does the shape provide an equivalent gripping surface? Note: Standard pipe sizes designated by the industry as 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches are acceptable for purposes of this section.
4.8.5 4.26.2	Clearance:	Is the clear space between handrails and walls exactly 1-1/2 inches?
4.8.5 4.26.2	Clearance in Recess:	If a handrail is located in a recess, is the recess no more than 3 inches deep extending at least 18 inches above the top of the rail?
4.8.5; 4.26.3	Structural Strength:	Do the handrails meet the structural strength requirements for bending stress and shear stress? (See 4.26.3)
4.8.5 4.26.3		Do the fasteners meet the structural strength requirements for shear force and tensile force? (See 4.26.3)
4.8.5 4.26.4	Hazards:	Are handrail edges free of sharp or abrasive elements and do they have edges with a minimum radius of 1/8 inch?
