Six months after the introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act 2004 and ahead of proposed changes to Part M of the Building Regulations, Yale Door & Window Solutions has produced a technical briefing sheet to help local authority and housing association specifiers meet the requirements of the DDA through correct door hardware specification.
