ADA Guidelines for Placement of an AED Wall Cabinet
Mounting Heights
The Americans with Disability Act Guidelines specify the reach ranges for equipment such as AEDs and other life safety devices. For an unobstructed approach, the maximum forward reach to this equipment is 48 inches above the floor. For example, the height to reach the AED handle should be no more than 48". The maximum side reach for such an approach is 54 inches.
Wall Projections
ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) specify that objects such as an AED Wall Cabinet shall protrude no more than 4" into walks, corridors, passageways, or aisles.
