What is a Disability Access Certificate?

A Disability Access Certificate (DAC) shows that you have made adequate provision for people with disabilities by complying with Part M of the Building Regulations 1997-2010.

You must apply for a DAC for all new buildings (including apartments, but not houses).  You can check the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government’s FAQs for more information.
