Standard Critical Dimensions Details
The rise should not be more than 220mm and the going (tread less nosing) no less than 220mm. The
pitch should be no steeper than 42 degrees so the minimum going cannot be used with the maximum
rise. A good guide is that twice the rise plus the going (2R+G) should be between 550mm and 700mm.
The width of the stair should not be less than 600mm if leading to one room or 800mm if leading to
two rooms. The clear headroom of at least 2m should be provided. Handrails should be 900mm
above the pitch line minimum. Landings are required at the top and bottom of each flight. They should
be at least as wide and long as the stair width.
