Detectable warning panels shall be modular and/or prefabricated composite polymer, cast iron, or steel.
A. Detectable warning panels shall meet the requirements of American with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
B. Anchors used in detectable warning panels shall meet the minimum dome size requirements when anchors are located where they replace a dome.
C. Surface applied detectable warning panels shall have an adhesive and mechanical attachment to the hard surface.
D. Detectable warnings shall contrast visibly with adjacent surfaces, either light on dark or dark on light. Acceptable colors for polymer panels shall be Federal Yellow #33538 and Federal Brick Red #22144 (or approved equals). Detectable warning panels shall have a uniform color.
E. Variations from dimensions shown in contract documents shall be no more than 1/8 inch.
