In addition,controls accessible from <br /> outside the 36-deep shower compartment,and shower head on the end wall-reducing overspray onto the <br /> bathroom floor-may reduce the possibility of accident and injury. Strength, fire resistance and durability are <br /> unaffected. Federal 2010 ADA Standards permit this configuration. <br /> LIST SUBSTANTIATING EVIDENCE(REPORTS,STUDIES,ETC)-ATTACH COPIES OF DOCUMENTATION <br /> The 2014 OSSC adopts ICC Al 17.1,which added the seat and controls requirement in 2009.The State of <br /> Oregon Building Codes Division is currently recommending a code change to permit omitting permanent <br /> shower seats and mounting controls on the end(side)wall.
