It also contains information on distances that prevent free access through the lower limbs. This document includes persons aged 14 and over (the 5th percentile of persons aged 14 and over is approximately 1 400 mm). Only for the upper limbs it provides additional information for children older than 3 years (5th percentile of persons from 3 years corresponds to about 900 mm) if passing through openings is to be taken into account.
