Public Accessibility Register (PAR)

Scope of application

Any establishment open to the public ('ERP'), new or existing building.

Description

The ERP located in a built environment must be such that any person with a disability can access it, circulate in it and receive the information that is disseminated in it, in the parts open to the public.
Information that is easy for the public to read and understand must be disseminated by means adapted to the various disabilities.

The purpose of the Public Accessibility Register (PAR) is to inform the public about the degree of accessibility of the establishment and its services.

The managers of ERP are free to choose the form of the register, in paper or digital version.

Note: public reception, elevators, lighting, sanitary facilities: another order published in the Official Journal of April 26, 2017 defines all the technical rules to qualify the ERP (when they are built) as buildings accessible to people with disabilities.
