While there is no specific legislation defining the exact type or size of Entrance Matting, it is important to comply with relevant British Standards and industry guidelines when specifying Entrance Matting Systems.
Key standards include BS 7953:1999, which provides guidance on the selection, installation, and maintenance of entrance matting, and BS 8300-2:2018, which focuses on accessibility and inclusive design considerations for building entrances.
In addition, sustainability and wellbeing frameworks such as BREEAM and The WELL Building Standard are often referenced when designing healthy, safe, and environmentally responsible buildings, with entrance matting playing a supporting role in achieving these objectives.
