36 CFR Part 1194 Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards (Section 508 Standards)

See also: Final Rule published to the Federal Register 1/18/17 that jointly updates requirements for ICT covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communication Act.

(1) The position of any operable control shall be determined with respect to a vertical plane, which is 48 inches in length, centered on the operable control, and at the maximum protrusion of the product within the 48 inch length (see Figure 1 of this part).

Figure one illustrates two bird’s-eye views.  In both views, the vertical plane is centered on the control area.  In the first view, the vertical plane is set back from the control area by a protrusion on the device.  In the second view, there are no protrusions on the device and the vertical plane is right up against the control area.
