Handicapped
When selecting handicapped toilet seats for a public restroom, consider features such as height, width, weight capacity, grab bars, and accessibility to ensure compliance with ADA regulations and provide comfort and safety for users with disabilities.
In theory, the Americans With Disability Act (ADA) applies to that portion of any building that is open to the public, or where a handicapped employee is required to work. The ADA includes many exceptions.
A guide to the American Disabilities Act for Transportation Standards can be found here: http://www.access-board.gov/ada-aba/ada-standards-dot.cfm. The guide to the complete ADA standards is here: http://www.access-board.gov/ada-aba/ada-standards-dot.cfm

The average front door is 36in. or 3 feet. ADA standards require at least 32 inches for handicapped access.
The standard ADA height for most grab bars is between 33 to 36 inches off the floor.
Not all business, private and public, establishments are required to follow ADA bathroom regulations. It must be readily achievable and not cause difficulty or financial hardship to the business.

Sweden has no heights stipulated but instead has regulations for enough room for a wheelchair and a helper.
