Do you have to have separate male and female toilets?

Published in Toilet Regulations 1 min read

Yes, for all new public buildings, you will generally need separate male and female toilets.

According to recent updates, new regulations dictate specific requirements for toilet facilities in new public buildings:

  • Separate Facilities Required: New public buildings must provide either separate male and female toilets or self-contained, private toilets.
  • Gender-Neutral Restrictions: Gender-neutral toilets with multiple cubicles will be banned.
  • Mixed-Sex Restrictions: Mixed-sex shared facilities are also banned, unless space limitations allow for only a single toilet.

In essence, the regulation of March 18, 2024, emphasizes segregation by sex unless a single, private toilet is the only feasible option due to space constraints.
