IEC 63240-2:2020 specifies the AAL architecture model.
This document defines concepts and introduces terminology. IEC 63240-1 provides generic rules for designers of AAL systems and services with the aim to facilitate systems design and enable interoperability between components. This document provides a framework to analyse use cases on a common view and terminology, which is a foundation for communication to discuss the interoperability of the components of the AAL system. This document allow...view more

IEC 63240-1:2020 specifies the AAL reference architecture.
This document defines concepts and introduces terminology. It provides generic rules for designers of AAL systems and services with the aim to facilitate systems design and enable interoperability between components.
This document identifies safety, security, privacy, and other requirements for AAL systems such as usability, accessibility, and trustworthiness (reliability, resilience).

1.1   This European Standard deals with safety requirements for construction, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and dismantling of electrically operated stairlifts (chair, standing platform and wheelchair platform) affixed to a building structure, moving in an inclined plane and intended for use by persons with impaired mobility:
-   travelling over a stair or an accessible inclined surface;
-   intended for use by one person;
-   whose carriage is directly retained and guided by a guide rail ...view more

This document provides a test method that determines the free swell capacity of polyacrylate superabsorbent powders in saline solution.

This document specifies a test method for measuring particle size distributions up to 850 µ of cross-linked polyacrylate superabsorbent powders. It applies only to measurements made where sieve shaking is used for the separation. Tapping equipment is not expected to deliver the same results. This method is applicable to powdered polymeric superabsorbent materials that are free-flowing under the specified test conditions.

This document provides a test method to determine the mass flow rate and bulk density (or apparent density) of polyacrylate superabsorbent powders.

This document provides a test method for the evaluation of mass loss upon heating for cross-linked polyacrylate superabsorbent powders. This method is applicable to powdered polymeric superabsorbent materials that are free-flowing under the specified test conditions. Substances other than water that are volatile in this temperature range will interfere. The onus is on the polymer formulator/producer to decide if such interference is possible and either exclude the method from use, provide an alt...view more

This document provides a test method for determining the pH of granular superabsorbent polyacrylates.

This document provides a test method for the determination of the fluid retention capacity of polyacrylate superabsorbent powders in saline solution, following centrifugation.

This document provides a test method that determines the capacity of polyacrylate superabsorbent powders to absorb saline solution under a specified enclosing pressure.

This document provides a test method for measuring the permeability-dependent absorption under pressure (PDAUP) of polyacrylate superabsorbent powder, where permeability is a significant controlling factor under the conditions of the test.

This document provides a test method to determine the mass fraction of soluble polymers present in crosslinked polyacrylate superabsorbent powders that can be extracted into saline solution.

This document specifies considerations to be taken, as well as support and assistive products that can be used when organizing a physical meeting in which older persons and persons with disabilities can actively participate. Teleconferences and web conferences are important methods that can be used to include older persons and persons with disabilities in meetings.

This document specifies accessibility guidelines to be considered when planning, developing and designing electrophotographic copying machines, page printers and multi-function devices. These guidelines are intended to improve accessibility required when primarily older persons, persons with disabilities and persons with temporary disabilities (hereafter referred to as older persons and persons with disabilities) use office equipment.

EN-IEC 60601-2-66 applies to the BASIC SAFETY of HEARING AIDS and HEARING AID SYSTEMS, hereafter also referred to as ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to HEARING AIDS only, or to HEARING AID SYSTEMS only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to HEARING AIDS and to HEARING AID SYSTEMS, as relevant. HAZARDS inherent in the intended physiological functi...view more

This part of IEC 60118 covers the relevant EMC phenomena for hearing aids. Hearing aid
immunity to high frequency fields originating from digital wireless devices such as mobile
phones was identified as one of the most relevant EMC phenomena impacting hearing aids.

EN-ISO 24550 specifies design requirements and recommendations for indicator lights, mainly LED sourced, on consumer products for use by older people and people with visual disabilities. It does not consider the needs of persons who are blind. Indicator lights include those that inform users visually about the conditions, changes in functional status and settings, and malfunction of products. They convey information by light on/off, time-modulated intensity, blinking, colour, luminance level, an...view more

EN-ISO 24551 specifies ergonomic requirements and recommendations for consumer product spoken instructions that are provided to guide users in the operation of a product and/or as a means of providing feedback to users about the status/state of a product. Such instructions can be used by persons with or without visual impairments, and are useful for users who have difficulty reading and/or cognitive impairments. The applicability of the requirements and recommendations described in this document...view more

IEC TS 63134:2020 identifies AAL scenarios and use cases based on real-world applications and requirements. The use cases provide a practical context for considerations of interoperability and standards based on user experience. Use cases provide a context for utilizing existing standards and identifying further standardization work. User requirements have also been identified.
This document also highlights potential areas for standardization in the AAL environment to ensure safety, security, p...view more

IEC 60601-2-66:2019 is available as IEC 60601-2-66:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60601-2-66:2019 applies to the BASIC SAFETY of HEARING AIDS and HEARING AID SYSTEMS, hereafter also referred to as ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM. IEC 60601-2-66:2019 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the followi...view more
