What is a Disability Access Certificate?
A Disability Access Certificate is a mandatory approval issued by building control authorities in Ireland, confirming that a new building, extension, or material alteration complies with Part M of the Building Regulations. This ensures that buildings are accessible and usable by all, including people with disabilities.
