ACCESSIBILITY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS –

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 63080 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100: Audio,
video and multimedia systems and equipment.
ITU-T F.791:2015 has served as a basis for the elaboration of this standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This document defines words describing accessibility, disability, and technical terms to be
used for improving the writing in relation to standardization, and to facilitate accurately the
needs and the mainstreaming of accessibility in standards that will include persons with
disabilities (PWD), older persons with age-related disabilities and persons with specific needs.
See WTDC Res. 58, WTDC AP and ITU–T F.790, listed in the Bibliography.
With the advent of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(see UNCRPD in the Bibliography), its passage in 2006, and its ratification by numerous
countries, many new terms and definitions were created. Some of these terms and definitions
were created at the behest of PWD themselves to eradicate terms that were demeaning,
insulting, and inaccurate.
Writers of standards are able to mainstream accessibility features into standards, as well as
to write specific standards for accessibility. To design products and services successfully,
there is a need for a common language. This document is intended to give definitions so that
it will make it easier for industries to implement these accessibility features and accessibility
standards if everyone is using the same language and vocabulary. It is also important that
governments, government agencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), the UN, and its
respective agencies normalize these terms for their integration into mainstream everyday
language.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), Article 9, made
clear the need to include PWD, older persons with age-related disabilities, and persons with
specific needs by mainstreaming them into all aspects of modern life. This can only be done
by including them in the design of modern technology and information and communication
technologies (ICTs) using universal design as defined in the UNCRPD and using a common
language and vocabulary.

ACCESSIBILITY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS –



1 Scope
This document contains a list of currently used terminology to describe accessibility and terms
that writers of standards need when writing and designing International Standards. It is
important to standardize and define a recognized list of the terms already used and in existing
ITU Recommendations and Resolutions, along with those in the UN Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Without such a list, there could be confusion not only
on the part of writers and implementers of standards, but also by the public at large. It is also
important to eliminate terminology that is no longer used, offensive, and demeaning to
persons with disabilities (PWD) and others.
The terminology in this document is for use in international work when English is used to refer
to telecommunication/ICT accessibility matters. This document is also applicable to everyday
life and all usages, including web design and other writings, as well as ICT,
telecommunications, and broadcasting standardization. The aim is for it to also be
mainstreamed into future policy, regulatory, and academic documents so as to be consistent
with global compatibility and understanding. In the future, work that is yet to be created,
written, or approved could include new terms that are added as appropriate by consensus in a
revision.
2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.
