This document provides product specifications for tactile walking surface indicators (TWSIs) and recommendations for their installation in order to assist in the safe and independent mobility of blind or vision-impaired persons. This document specifies two types of TWSIs: attention patterns and guiding patterns. Both types can be used indoors and outdoors throughout the built environment where there are insufficient cues for wayfinding, or at specific hazards. NOTE Some countries have adopted ot...view more

This part of ISO 11608 specifies requirements for needle-based drug delivery systems intended for use by persons with visual impairments. It applies to devices intended for patient or caregiver administration of human therapeutics.
This standard covers requirements to allow for safe and correct handling of the device, including labelling, packaging, and instructions for use. It also includes requirements for training programs, if applicable.
Devices that are claimed appropriate for use by person...view more

Standard je namenjen prostorskim načrtovalcem kot eno od izhodišč za načrtovanje odprtega
prostora, dostopnega za vse uporabnike. Z upoštevanjem standarda se lahko izboljša gibanje ljudi z
okvarami vida, posledično pa tudi njihova samostojnost in kakovost življenja. Standard temelji na
nacionalnih in mednarodnih dokumentih, ki predvidevajo enakopravnost vseh ljudi ne glede na njihove
različne sposobnosti in zmožnosti. Dostopnost grajenega okolja je eden od ključnih vidikov, ki lahko to
enak...view more

ISO 19028:2016 specifies information contents, figuration and display methods of tactile guide maps providing location information of buildings, including those for the general public, public transport and parks, and also the surroundings in the close vicinity, including access routes to them in order to enable persons with seeing impairment and blindness to move safely and smoothly in those facilities.

EN ISO 17351 specifies requirements and provides guidance for the application of Braille to the labelling of medicinal products.

ISO 17049:2013 specifies the fundamental requirements for braille used on signage, equipment and appliances, including the dimensional parameters of braille and the characteristics of materials used, and the guidelines for practical implementation.

This Technical Report is based on work undertaken to define the scope for a possible Technical Specification that would specify the information needed by blind and visually impaired people (VIP) when they are travelling. This information is primarily intended for users of road-based transport like buses, trolleybuses and trams, but it can also be used for subway, regional and inter-city trains. The Technical Specification that is suggested would aim to define the contents of the information requ...view more

This International Standard specifies requirements for the design of tactile dots and tactile bars for use on consumer products to improve accessibility for everyone, including older persons and persons with disabilities. This International Standard is applicable to consumer products used by persons with visual disabilities, and in cases where visual information is not the primary sense used for accomplishing the task. Alternative tactile methods, such as texture and vibration, and other tactile...view more

This International Standard specifies the age-related luminance contrast of any two lights of different colour seen by a person at any age, by taking into account the age-related change of spectral luminous efficiency of the eye. This International Standard provides a basic method of calculation that can be applied to the design of lighting, visual signs and displays. It applies to light, self-luminous or reflected, in visual signs and displays seen under moderately bright conditions called phot...view more
