WC requirements in a cafe

mal_1

Hi all

Am sure this is answered but cant search hence;

As per title I'm looking for a link to the data sheet where the requirement for the No.s of WC's required in a small cafe. I have an old photocopy of it if I could put hands on it.

The related query is in a small cafe with 60m2 gross area and with probably about 18-20 seats, will I get away with one staff WC & one universal male / female / disabled WC.

Thanks in advance

contact your local health officer.

Poor Uncle Tom

The metric handbook is also good.

Agree with Syd . 1 public WC is pushing it imo

Awaiting LHO to return to me.

Just found this

Depending on where the premises is - your initial thoughts may not be far off the mark .

To be super sure - send a layout for approval to the relevant env. health officer

Just to clear up my own question I think
The requirements are in the regulations

(EC) Regulation No 852/2004
NSAI I.S. 340:2007 Hygiene in the Catering Sector

They cant be downloaded, for free

And the direct answer to the question is that under 25 seating spaces, 1 WC is sufficient.
