Posted By Charley Farley-Trelawney I consider that any guidance here would follow statutory heights etc as light switches etc etc. I suppose one major area to look at would be access by any vertically challenged persons, to comply with the DDA you would certainly need to access the user groups. It may be best perhaps to have the scanning type which picks up a signal from the card and converts the signal to information; these I believe have a working distance of two to three metres thus eliminating any need for strategic placement.

Posted By James365 Have you had a look in the IEE 16th edition regs and associated standards re. light switches and such like?
