This part of BS 6465 gives recommendations on the location, numbers, siting, design and management of public toilets. It is applicable to the provision of new facilities and to the retention and refurbishment of existing facilities. This standard is applicable to the following types of public toilet facilities: municipal public on-street toilets; off-street publicly available toilets (e.g. in shopping malls); automatic public conveniences (APCs); street urinals; facilities for disabled people, from the point of view of scale of provision and location; baby changing and ancillary toilet facilities. This part of BS 6465 is not applicable to the following: toilet facilities in buildings open to the public such as theatres, libraries, hospitals and hotels, (see BS 6465-1 for these), unless the toilets in these buildings are made available to the general public as off-street publicly available toilets as part of an overall public toilet availability strategy; sanitary provision on vehicles, such as aeroplanes, trains and coaches (although it is applicable to public toilets in transport termini and interchanges); detailed space requirements in public toilet facilities (see BS 6465-2); the selection and installation of appliances and fittings (see BS 6465-3). This part of BS 6465 does not give detailed recommendations for the layout of, and fixtures and fittings in, accessible toilet facilities. This standard does give recommendations for the provision of accessible toilets and Changing Places toilet facilities from the point of view of scale of provision and location. For detailed layout it is essential for the user to consult BS 8300. References to BS 8300 are given for particular items where these are covered in the present standard with respect to public toilets in particular, however this is not a substitute for following the provisions of BS 8300 with respect to accessible toilets and Changing Places toilet facilities.
