FEEL like you’re getting old simply because you need to squint to see the small print or can’t properly hear a signal coming from your new computer?
Think twice. The problem may not be your age but a flaw in design.
Two new ISO International Standards will help make products, signs and displays more accessible to everyone!
The first “solution document” is a new standard that can be applied to the design of visual signs and displays, so that they are clearly visible to older people, although the luminance contrast can be applied to people aged from 10 to 79 years of age.
The second standard aims to determine an appropriate sound level range of auditory signals, so that all users, including people with age-related hearing loss, can hear them properly against interfering sounds.
The ISO is the world’s largest developer and publisher of International Standards that aims to find solutions that meet both the requirements of business and the broader needs of society.
