What is the minimum height required for a handrail on a ramp in a commercial building?

  1. 750 mm

  2. 850 mm

  3. 950 mm

  4. 1050 mm

The correct answer is: 850 mm

The minimum height required for a handrail on a ramp in a commercial building is 850 mm. This is determined by building codes and regulations for accessibility and safety purposes. Option A is too low and may not provide sufficient support for people using the ramp. Option C and D are higher than the minimum requirement and may not be necessary, potentially causing extra expenses for the building owner.
