Overview

The ISA is universally recognised and helps everyone find the features and facilities in a building that can be used by people with disabilities. It represents all disabilities, not only people in wheelchairs.

Correctly displaying ISA is important for the New Zealand community, as well as for visitors to the country. It can help greatly in ensuring people with disabilities are able to undertake normal activities and processes in buildings.
