Point-of-Sale Stands and Mounts. Attended, Self-Checkout, Unattended, SSTMs. ADA/ABA/508 (ICT).
Building Code
Building Code: National regarding ADA checkout. This is a big one. You are not in building code compliance regardless unless you do have a full-on ADA Checkout at any level, Federal, Military State, County, City, Business on federal land, ADA Title III, Tittle II. Business on main street, Courthouse, city utilities, a military exchange, or the Washington DC Whitehouse gift shop etc.
ADA.Gov Sec.36.402 Alterations. (a) General. (1) Any alteration to a place of public accommodation or a commercial facility, after January 26, 1992, shall be made so as to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible, the altered portions of the facility are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs.
To better explain this as an example, the checkout countertop is a fixed element. If you set the stand/mount on that fixed element, it becomes a part of that fixed element, it then is an alteration regardless of a new building or old building. The very first checkout lane or countertop should be an ADA checkout 100%.
All businesses are required by Federal law to have one minimum ADA checkout. The core to a checkout is the card and PIN reader terminal and the key to that is that it is being ADA mounted, meaning -assistive-tech mounted using the requirements of the ADA. For California, you have an additional CAL-FIN 13082 and UNRUH ACT.
In terms of language that the ADA/ABA/508/ICT (also) uses for point -of-sale devices is "Transaction Machines". For Federal and Military and any other business on federal land with a checkout, you are already mandated to make these checkout devices fully accessible which requires the devices a mounted using the exact requirements and our mounting does just that and the only to do so in the world.
This is also for new builds once fixed elements like the checkout lane or counter is installed. The moment a (CRT) card reader terminal stand is mounted, it is considered an "alteration" under the building code. If it is not an ADA compliant assistive-tech stand/mount, you jump right out of building code compliance.
Our patented ADA terminal stands and mounts are the only available that accomplish this, and we have made them readily achievable. Easy to install. You can have it set and ready for ADA use in minutes. It works for all cardholders whether standing or seated in left, right or forward positions.
The IRS does provide a 50% TAX Credit for purchase of our ADA Stands as an ADA assistive-tech. Need to earn 1 million or less annually (or) have less than 30 full-time employees.
Be aware, non-accessible is viewed as discrimination which does cause additional legal problems and also the ADA fines start at $75,000 per location. And not being ADA accessible (ADA checkout) card reader (PCI) mounted takes the building and your business occupies is out of ADA building code. This affects you, the building owner (if renting/leasing) and State. County and City with additional problems.
Your customers deserve better at your checkouts.
Strongly note: Title: Accessibility Guidelines for Self-Service Transaction Machines Abstract: This rulemaking amends the Architectural and Transportation Compliance Board's existing accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), located at 36 CFR part 1191, to include guidelines for the accessibility of fixed self-service transaction machines, self-service kiosks, information transaction machines, and point-of-sale devices. The U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Justice are expected, via separate rulemakings, to adopt these amended guidelines as enforceable standards for devices and equipment covered by the ADA.
This is for all businesses, Federal, State County, City, Town, Township, etc. Inspectors at all levels should be ensuring this during inspections if a countertop is already installed and notice that once a POS card reader mount is installed, is to be ADA compliance as it becomes an alteration to a building fixed element. It too should have an ADA checkout mandatory on business permits to avoid any ADA conflict to begin with. Again, if a business has ADA parking, and it does, the checkout too is to be an ADA checkout.
