ADA/ABA/508/ICT REQUIREMENTS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. ADDITIONAL ACCESSIBILITY FOR POS REQUIREMENTS AND RULES FOR THIS PHASE IS FOR FEDERAL ADA TITLE III (PUBLIC) AND TITLE II (STATE) AND INCLUDE 504 HHS + AND DOT.

Do know, there is no such thing as PCI DSS compliant mounting or “helpful” with ADA compliance. Taylor ADA Stands and mounts are fully ADA accessibility compliant and PCI-POI Compliant and meet VISA, Inc. accessibility requirements. Hard-fixed mounts are the ADA problem.  

PCI-POI compliance correlates with ISO 9564-1-2017 which our ADA stands and mounts address. We have blended the ADA and ABA 508 (ICT) compliance requirements and involves the PCI-POI PIN entry security requirements and also must be able to PIN shield using the body). Think of this in terms and ADA (wheelchair-using cardholder present usage).

Two NPRMs are in play: the point-of-sale NPRM, which includes countertop, self-checkout, kiosks, and unattended items such as ATMs, fuel dispensers and vending machines, and a separate NPRM specific to EV charging stations.

ATBCB RIN: 3014-AA44 U.S. Access-Board - 2024

This rulemaking amends the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board's existing accessibility guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (Titles II and III) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), located at 36 CFR parts 1190, 1191, 1192, to include guidelines for the accessibility of fixed self-service transaction machines, including 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.

In addition, the final supplemental guidelines will be adopted for enforcement by the standard-setting agencies under the ABA. Other agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, may elect to include these accessibility guidelines for self-service transaction machines in their regulations for compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The HHS ties to NIH and FDA and others.

To give an example of the 504: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is a federal law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination in programs that receive federal funding. It states that qualified individuals with disabilities cannot be excluded from participating in, denied benefits from, or discriminated against in any program or activity that receives federal financial assistance.

This includes programs conducted by executive agencies and the United States Postal Service. Military installations must adhere to these adopted accessibility standards under the ABA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
