Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering regulations
From regulations, for translation from Spanish from Spain to British English:

The rating of accessibility at three levels, so:

Rating spaces, installations, facilities, buildings and services depending on their level of accessibility as: "adaptados, practicables y convertibles:"

"Adaptado. Un espacio, instalación o servicio se considera adaptado si se ajusta a los requerimientos funcionales y dimensionales" contained in the regulation that guarantee "su utilización autónoma y con comodidad a las personas con limitación, movilidad o comunicación reducidas"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): abe(L)solano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Toni 'It will be necessary to adapt the Spanish situation to the conditions in the UK.'
No, the asker wants British English, but that's not the same as finding the 'British equivalent'. This is about Spain, not Britain.
Paul Ryan Sep 29, 2023:
accessible Adaptado seems to correspond to accessible in England & Wales, for example:

Toni Castano Sep 29, 2023:
PRO question, clearly Yes, the literal translation might work, perhaps in all three cases, but the query is trickier than it seems at first sight, since it will be necessary to adapt the Spanish situation to the conditions in the UK.
philgoddard Sep 29, 2023:
Maybe 'excellent' for 'adaptado', and 'good' for 'practicable'.
philgoddard Sep 29, 2023:
This is a pro question This and 'practicable' are less easy, because I would have thought a property is either accessible or it's not and needs converting.
'Adapted' is wrong in my opinion, because it implies the property wasn't accessible but is now.

Ley 8/1995, de 6 de abril, de Accesibilidad y Supresión de Barreras Físicas y de la Comunicación

Artículo 4. Niveles de accesibilidad.
Se calificarán los espacios, instalaciones, edificaciones o servicios, atendiendo a sus niveles de accesibilidad en: adaptados, practicables y convertibles.

1. Adaptado.–Un espacio, instalación o servicio se considera adaptado si se ajusta a los requerimientos funcionales y dimensionales que garanticen su utilización autónoma y con comodidad por las personas con limitación, movilidad o comunicación reducida.

Tales requerimientos funcionales y dimensionales serán los establecidos en las normas de desarrollo de esta Ley.

2. Practicable.–Un espacio, instalación o servicio se considera practicable cuando, sin ajustarse a todos los requerimientos que lo califiquen como adaptado, no impide su utilización de forma autónoma a las personas con limitación o movilidad o comunicación reducida.

3. Convertible.–Un espacio, instalación o servicio se considera convertible cuando, mediante modificaciones de escasa entidad y bajo coste, que no afecten a su configuración esencial, puede transformarse en adaptado o, como mínimo, en practicable.

Requirements of Part M Building Regulations for Dwellings
The updates made means that Volume 1 of Part M Building Regulations is now divided into three main sections. These sections cover the requirements of new developments in regards to accessibility. These requirements are as follows:

M4(1) Category 1- Visitable dwellings
This is a compulsory requirement for new buildings, and is only deemed to be fulfilled where any new dwellings make reasonable provisions for most people – this includes wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. Ensuring that they are able to enter the building and any rooms or facilities on the entrance level.

M4(2) Category 2 – Accessible and adaptable dwellings
This is an optional requirement dependent on planning policy and developer discretion. This requirement is only considered to be met when new dwellings also incorporate features that make a dwelling more suitable for a greater proportion of people – including older people, individuals with limited mobility and wheelchair users.

M4(3) Category 3 – Wheelchair user dwellings
Similar to category M4(2), category M4(3) is also not a mandatory requirement, rather, it is a requirement that depends on planning and developer discretion. This requirement is only considered to be met where the parking and communal outside areas of the dwelling are made reasonably accessible for wheelchair users which live in the development.
