A mark for a toilet with a hoist, a bench and space for two carers.
Also known as: Changing Places toilet, Assisted accessible toilet
A Changing Places toilet is a defined specification, not simply a larger accessible toilet: it has a height-adjustable bench, a ceiling hoist and room for two assistants. A standard accessible toilet meets none of those requirements, which is why the two marks are not interchangeable.
