IEC 63008:2020 pdf download.Household and similar electrical appliances – Accessibility of control elements, doors, lids, drawers and handles
1 Scope
This document contains accessibility requirements to enable more accessible use of certain elements found on household and similar electrical appliances by older persons and persons with disabilities. It provides guidance to achieve accessible design of only control elements (e.g. knobs, buttons), including control panels, display screens and doors, lids, drawers and handles. It does not enable the full assessment of the overall accessibility of a household appliance. This document covers supporting and auxiliary functions that a user performs regularly. Assembly, installation, configuration or repair of appliances are excluded. This document provides test methods and data that support accessible design. This document gives guidance to apply ISO/TR 22441:2008 and ISO/IEC Guide 71:2014 to the design of various interactive elements of household and similar electrical appliances. It does not deal with remote controls, or control via network or mobile applications. Touch control elements are covered in this document (see also Annex A), but new interaction controls, such as gestures and speech control, are not covered. This document does not deal with safety issues. NOTE IEC 60335 (all parts) sets out requirements on safety issues, e.g. surface temperatures and sharp edges.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 accessibility extent to which products, systems, services, environments and facilities can be used by people from a population with the widest range of user needs, characteristics and capabilities to achieve identified goals in identified contexts of use Note 1 to entry: Context of use includes direct use or use supported by assistive technologies. [SOURCE: ISO 9241-112:2017, 3.15] 3.2 accessible design design focused on diverse users to maximize the number of potential users who can readily use a system in diverse contexts Note 1 to entry: This aim can be achieved by (1) designing systems that are readily usable by most users without any modification, (2) making systems adaptable to different users (by providing adaptable user interfaces) and (3) having standardized interfaces to be compatible with assistive products and assistive technology. Note 2 to entry: Terms such as universal design, accessible design, design for all, barrier-free design, inclusive design and transgenerational design are often used interchangeably with the same meaning. [SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 71:2014, 2.19] 3.3 impairments problems in body function or structure related to a significant deviation or loss Note 1 to entry: Impairments can be temporary or permanent; progressive, regressive or static; intermittent or continuous. Note 2 to entry: See also ICF 2001 [9], WHO, A.4. [SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 71:2014, 2.5, modified – Note 2 to entry added.]
