Undefined Terms

8. 106.3 Undefined Terms
The meaning of terms not specifically defined in or in regulations issued by TDLR to implement Chapter 469, or in referenced standards, are as defined by collegiate dictionaries in the sense that the context implies.
The following terms are not defined in TAS, therefore, based on 106.3, they shall have the following meanings:

9. Kitchen Kitchenette A place (as a room) with cooking facilities.
A small kitchen or alcove containing cooking facilities.
These terms are used interchangeably.
Excerpt from

10. Cooking Facilities
This term is not defined in collegiate dictionaries, however, “Cook” means “To prepare food for eating especially by means of heat.”
Therefore, based on this definition and input from the U.S. Access Board, cooking facilities shall include the following:
Range
Oven
Cooktop
Microwave Oven
Convection Oven
Excerpt from

11. A bar used for purposes other than drink preparation is not a wet bar.
A bar for mixing drinks that contains only a sink with running water.
A bar used for purposes other than drink preparation is not a wet bar.

12. Scoping: 201.1
Scope
Fixed or Built-In

13. 201.1 Scope
These standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings…

14. Since TAS only applies to fixed or built-in elements based on 201
Since TAS only applies to fixed or built-in elements based on 201.1, the “cooking facilities” provided in a space must be fixed or built-in for the space to be considered a kitchen or kitchenette.
The following is the criteria to be used when determining if an appliance is fixed or built-in:

15. Fixed
The appliance is attached to a cabinet, shelf, or other surfaces or to a gas supply.
Built-In
The cabinetry design or location of utilities (i.e. gas supply or 220V electrical outlet) creates a dedicated shelf or space for the appliance.
The following are examples of
fixed and built-in cooking facilities:

16. Fixed Microwave Ovens
Attached to Cabinet
Attached to Shelf

17. Built-In Microwave Ovens
Cabinetry design and location of electrical outlet
creates dedicated space for the microwave oven.

18. Built-In Convection Oven
Cabinetry design and location of 220V outlet creates a dedicated space for the convection oven.

19. These microwaves are NOT
built-in or fixed.

20. Fixed and Built-In Ranges
Cabinetry design and location of electrical and gas outlets
create a dedicated space for the range.

21. Attached to a Gas Supply
Fixed Gas Range
Attached to a Gas Supply

22. Fixed or Built-in Cooktop
Appliance is attached and the cabinetry design and location of electrical outlet creates a dedicated space for the cooktop.

23. SUMMARY

24. Built-In Cooking Facilities
Spaces With Fixed or
Built-In Cooking Facilities
The space must comply with 212 and 804 if at least one of the following fixed or built-in cooking facilities is provided:
Range
Oven
Cooktop
Microwave Oven
Convection Oven

25. Spaces Without Fixed or Built-In Cooking Facilities
The space is not required to comply with 212 and 804 if no fixed or built-in cooking facilities are provided.
However, the space must still
comply with applicable provisions of TAS.

26. This space has no fixed or built-in cooking facilities
Example: NOT a Kitchen
This space has no fixed or built-in cooking facilities

27. Compliance Requirements
Not a Kitchen:
Compliance Requirements
Compliance with TAS is based on the elements provided.
Example:
Typical requirements for spaces that are not kitchens

At least one of each type of storage must comply with 309 based on
5% of the sinks must comply with 606 based on

28. Counter Height Not a Kitchen
No counter height requirement (except at a sink) for spaces that are not kitchens since is applicable only to work surfaces in residential and transient lodging kitchens.
Example: Storage and operable parts must comply but not the counter height.
