NOTES:
(1) For ramps and walkways, a cross fall having a gradient of 1 in 33 is permitted in lieu of 1 in 40 if bitumen is used as the surface material.
(2) For landings, a gradient of 1 in 33 is permitted in lieu of a gradient of 1 in 40 if bitumen is used as the surface material.
(3) For landings located at a door, there must be no cross fall, e.g. the landing must be level.
